Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that lifts pendulous or sagging breasts for a perkier appeal. It restores the shape of the breasts to improve their contour and reduce breast ptosis (sagging) due to a loss of elasticity after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or simply age, among other factors.
Breast Lift:
"Lift Your Confidence, Enhance Your Shape."
A breast lift restores a youthful, lifted shape to sagging breasts by removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue. Ideal for those seeking a natural, rejuvenated appearance, this procedure enhances contour and boosts confidence. Reclaim a beautifully sculpted silhouette with a personalized breast lift.
Breast lift surgery can give you back your youthful breast shape and appearance. This procedure can be performed on its own, but it is commonly partnered with breast augmentation to increase cup size while revealing beautiful curves. Breast lift surgery performed by a highly trained, board-certified plastic surgeon can provide outstanding results you’re looking for.

Frequently Asked Question
Questions you might ask about our services.
Breast lift results are long-lasting, but aging, gravity, and lifestyle factors will still impact breast shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle helps prolong results.
Some scarring is expected, but most scars fade significantly with time and can often be concealed under clothing. Surgeons use techniques to minimize scarring, and following post-operative care instructions can improve healing.
Most patients can resume light activities within 7-10 days and return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on job demands. Strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
Yes, many women choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation (implants) for added volume or with a breast reduction to achieve the desired size and shape. A breast lift can also be included in a "mommy makeover" package with other body-contouring procedures.
In some cases, a breast lift may impact milk production, especially if ducts or nerves are altered. Many women, however, are still able to breastfeed. Discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon before the procedure.
