Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

This operation is ideal for patients who:

  • Have large and possibly drooping/sagging breasts
  • Have symptoms or challenges related to large breast size
  • Have excess skin and/or fat along the lateral chest wall and upper outer chest near the armpits

Breast reduction is an operation designed to address: back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, pain between the shoulder blades, difficulty with exercise or to find appropriate clothing, psychological distress associated with disproportionately large breasts, among other symptoms. It is an operation that is covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. The goal of this operation is to reduce the size of the breast mound, but also lift the breast tissue and nipple areola complex back to the natural position. Because breast reduction surgery is limited to addressing the size of the breast only, many patients wish to combine this operation with some liposuction along the lateral chest wall (excess skin and fat to the sides of the breast), and to the anterior axillary fold (excess fat that bulges over your bra or shirt near the armpit). Liposuction is not an insured service. Patients will decide with Dr. Platt the type of scar that is required to best address their goals. Most patients will have same-day surgery, meaning they will be discharged home the same day as the operation. Dr. Platt will discuss the recovery process and establish a follow-up schedule with you.
