To get answers to the most frequent questions about breast lift (mastopexy) cosmetic surgery, please select one
of the links below:
What is a mastopexy?
A mastopexy, or breast lift, is an operation designed to lift
and contour breasts that are of abnormal shape. Most mastopexy
operations are performed to correct drooping or "ptosis"
of the breasts. Breast implants are commonly used to add valume to the breasts in mastoplexy procedures.

Are there scars?
Scars, invarious patterns, are an inevitable consequence of mastoplexy procedures.
Is a breast lift (mastopexy) covered
by insurance?
In most cases mastopexy operations are considered cosmetic in
nature and are therefore not covered by insurance plans.
Where are mastopexy operations performed?
Dr. O'Connell performs most mastopexy operations as outpatient
procedures either in the office surgical facility at Plastic Surgery of Southern Connecticut, LLC. or in the outpatient
hospital setting.
What type of anesthesia is used for
mastopexy?
Mastopexy may be performed under local
anesthesia with or without monitored intravenous sedation or with general anesthesia.
Are there risks associated with mastopexy?
All surgery involves risk and potential complications. A thorough
discussion of the risks, alternatives and potential benefits of any procedure
is an important part of the preoperative consultative process.
