Let’s Have a Conversation

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, restores youthful contour to sagging breasts. As a woman ages, her skin loses elasticity and the breast tissue loses its firmness. In this procedure, excess skin is removed, the nipple is raised to a higher position and the tissue is reshaped to create more youthful breasts. This procedure is done under general anesthesia and will take up to two hours to complete.

Why to consider a breast lift?

Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Sagginess in breast over time
Aging and gravity
Desire of more youthful contoured breasts

Recovery & Results

Following your breast lift, you will notice an immediate difference in the look of your breasts. Your incisions will require no post-operative care and no stitches or drains will need to be removed. After surgery, patients must wear a post-operative bra provided by Dr. Godat 24 hours a day for three weeks. Dr. Godat recommends walking the evening of surgery and for the days after surgery to prevent post-operative complications and to facilitate a better recovery. Narcotic pain medication is provided for the patient’s postoperative needs. Most patients return to work the week after surgery and incisions are healed at three weeks. Swelling may take up to six weeks to resolve at which time final results may be seen.

A breast lift is also a great cosmetic surgery to explore after your family is complete and you can combine all types of breast surgeries with other procedures like a tummy tuck or mommy makeover. That makes it easier to take advantage of time off, and to reduce your overall recovery time.

When you’re ready to explore the options for achieving the breast size and shape you desire, schedule a consultation with David M. Godat, MD. Request an appointment online or give us a call to schedule a complimentary consultation.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Godat and his staff. I had my tummy tuck with muscle repair on March 1, 2021. My incision line is PERFECT and low from hip to hip! His staff is top notched. They’re professional, remember your name and greet you with a smile coming and going. Anytime I have a question, I get an answer verbally and/or within an hour if I ask via email. This is unheard of!! When my drains and stitches were removed, the staff was very gentle and eased my anxiety – priceless!I’m forever grateful and highly recommend Dr. Godat!

I had a Duodenal Switch in October of 2017 and since that time had gone from 389# to 235# which left me with and abundance of hanging skin. The weight lost actually increased my back pain due from my herniated disks due to the lack of “padding” as well as the added stress from the hanging skin. Once I was finally approved for the skin removal and abdominoplasty last December, The process was very quick. I had my first appointment on Dec 3rd, preop on Dec 9th and surgery on Dec 12th. Everything went great. I had and issue with one area of abdomen not healing properly ending up in the need for wound care for it to totally heal. The results have been AWESOME. I am now having very little back pain have lost another 20# (down to 215#) and 6 more inches from my waistline (44 inch waist before skin removal and now 38). Dr. Godat and his staff have been truly amazing thru this whole process.

I had an exciting experience with Dr Godat. After my gastric bypass surgery in 2016. I ended up with a wrinkle stomach. Dr Godat did my tummy tuck in 2019. Surgery was successful but scar was a bit too high. He reconstructed the tummy tuck in 2020 and it looks amazing. So so happy. Love the entire place. Evrryone is so friendly and caring.. I highly recommend Dr Godat. Thank You Dr Godat

Ana Taveras

Went in expecting a possible run around because I didn’t know if I lost enough weight but the staff was completely welcoming and human and helped me to see things I couldn’t see on my own and I could get help for skin removal. Dr Godat walked in and cemented that feeling. He listened to my history and weight loss stats and told me I did just enough and I was a great candidate for surgery. My surgery date was set and 3 weeks later I had my tummy tuck. The after care was excellent and easy. I thank God for Dr. Godat and his staff!!!! Please call him! He won’t give up on you!
