Denver Breast Lift Surgery

There is a variety of methods for accomplishing breast uplift. Under the simplest of conditions, when the breasts are small, the insertion of an implant may entirely correct the sagging problem, providing all of the lift necessary. However, if the laxity is too great, removal of excess skin – with or without the simultaneous use of an implant – is the method of choice. There are several techniques to do this. The most frequently used procedure results in a very youthful elevation of the breasts with a fine line scar around the areola and an inverted-T scar below it.

Unless you have come from out-of-town for surgery, are having several procedures performed simultaneously, or have special reasons for requiring overnight care, mastopexy is most often done as an outpatient/day-patient.  Surgery is performed at our facility in the Rose Ambulatory Surgery Center in Denver and the stay is in The Suites at Rose.

Various anesthetic techniques may be used in mastopexy surgery. Under most circumstances, Dr. Grossman prefers general anesthesia (complete sleep). Occasionally, a technique known as a "thoracic epidural" anesthetic is used. A physician anesthesiologist to provide the safest, most controlled form of anesthesia administers both.
