Breast Lift in Bridgeville, PA

A breast lift is a common breast procedure. Weight loss, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and gravity can cause small and large breasts to descend and lose their initial shape. Some young women’s breasts never develop a round shape and just grow down. Some women just naturally have droopy breasts. Patients choose to have a mastopexy or breast lift procedure to restore optimal round or conical breast shape. Sometimes for a small breast, an breast augmentation is also performed.

Dr. Cherup is considered by her patients to offer the best breast lift in Bridgeville. View our before and after galleries of real breast lift patients. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Cherup today!

Patient Testimonial

“My Expectations Have Far Been Exceeded”

by Verified Patient | RealSelf

The idea of a breast augmentation of some sort has been on the table for me since I was 17 years old. My breasts grew with a substantial size difference. I was never confident about my breasts and honestly never remember having any positive feelings/emotions towards my breasts. With a nearly 2 cup difference, bras never fit and my main goal was to disguise the issue. I had my first child at 19 and second at 2, which I successfully breastfeed for 14 months.. From that point onward, 2 back to back pregnancies and breastfeeding left me with with what I would refer to as long breasts although the size difference was lessened. Neither breast had volume and after children, one breast even appeared to be square shaped.

I knew that I sought a female plastic surgeon. I work in a field where I see many breast implants. I have come to recognize certain doctors work and began to realize whom to avoid.

I made my consultation with Dr. Cherup. This woman pulls no punches and is not for the person seeking sugar coating. My case, was a bad as I feared and she didn’t try to suggest it wasn’t. She spent a lot of time with me during our first meeting. She emphasized that I was going to require a significant amount of work and skill. That I should not expect perfect symmetrical breasts. That I would need two different sized and shaped implants, in addition I would need a lift. Which I knew and was prepared for. We agreed on a size and actually, I placed all my trust in her–her suggestions meant more to be than any other; I didn’t want large or very large breasts. My number one desire was fullness and shape. I feel that implants that are too large an make a woman look like she has gained weight and can age her. I was beyond relieved when she didn’t push me toward something I knew I didn’t want!

I was fully prepared by Dr. Cherup and her staff. I made the decision to move forward with her. I can honestly say, I felt bad scheduling with her. I have not seen breasts like my own represented in before and afters. I knew if anyone was going to get me as close to a positive result it was going to be Dr. Cherup. She will let you know what is possible and what is not. That you might hurt like hell but that part of this journey.

I am typing this 6 days out from my surgery, a lift and implant. Bruising and swelling etc is personal so I will not comment, however I must say, my expectations have far been exceeded. I still have ways to go in my healing process but I am incredibly confident in Dr. Cherup and her staff. I intend to return for an tummy tuck in 2017.

Breast Lift Consultation

During the breast lift consultation, Dr. Cherup will examine your breasts, and measure you to determine if your breast volume is symmetrical and optimal for your body size and shape. She will then describe either a breast lift/mastopexy, breast lift with implants, or breast reduction with a lift depending on the specific needs of each patient. The quality of the skin on your breast, the appearance of stretch marks, and the density of the tissue factor into the analysis. VECTRA 3D imaging system may be used by Dr. Cherup, so that you can visualize the transformation of your breast volume into a lifted, compact package.

Breast Lift Surgery

Your breast lift surgery will be performed under general anesthesia and will last about two hours. Dr. Cherup uses the short scar technique for mastopexies and breast reduction. Your incisions will include a circle around your areola, which might be made smaller, a vertical scar from the six o’clock position of the areola down to the fold, and a short horizontal scar in the inframammary fold. All the sutures are under the skin. Two drains exit your axillae, and dressings and a supportive bra finalize the surgery.

Post Operative Care and Potential Complications

Dressings

Gauze pads or fluffs will cover the incision lines. Because the incision lines are usually short, some oozing of blood may occur. This is normal. We will change the dressings two days after the breast lift surgery. Thereafter you have to change dressings at home. We will give you specific instructions.

Wearing your bra

A bra may be placed at the time of surgery, or at the latest, a day or two after. The bra acts as a dressing, holding the breast in an appropriate position, and also helping the gauze pads to stay in position. If the bra feels too tight or hurts, switch immediately to any bra that feels comfortable. A bra that is too tight can cause sores on the skin, and you must not let this happen. We want you to wear a supportive bra for at least three weeks following the mastopexy surgery. If you are healing extremely well, Dr. Cherup will recommend that you do not need to wear a bra at night in bed. You should not go braless during the day for at least six weeks after the breast surgery.

Showering and bathing

Water does not hurt your incisions, especially after two days after the surgery. You may shower or bath once the gauze dressings have been removed and inspected by Dr. Cherup. You may leave the Steri-Strips in place during showers, and remove them after they fall off.

Driving

You may drive when driving does not cause discomfort. This usually occurs four to five days after mastopexy surgery.

Exercise

You may take gentle walks within a few days after having mastopexy surgery. Do not return to aerobic exercise for three weeks.
