A breast mastopexy, also known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift, reshape, and tighten the breasts. This procedure can improve the appearance of sagging or drooping breasts, making them look firmer and more youthful.
Sagging breasts are lifted to a higher, more youthful position, enhancing overall body proportions.
Mastopexy reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissues, resulting in a firmer look and feel.
The procedure repositions the nipples and areolas for a more natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
With proper care, breast lift results can last for many years, maintaining a natural look without the need for implants.

A mastopexy, or breast lift, corrects sagging breasts by removing skin and reshaping the underlying breast tissue. A variety of incision patterns may be used depending on the severity of the breast ptosis to remove the skin. The nipple and areola are left attached to the underlying breast tissue and are elevated to a newer and higher position.
This technique involves a circular incision around the areola to remove a small amount of skin. Best for minimal lifting, but excessive correction may lead to poor aesthetic results like skin pleating or widened scars.
This method includes an incision around the areola with a vertical line down to the breast crease. It’s ideal for mild to moderate sagging, though breasts may initially appear high and flat before settling into their final shape.
This lift uses incisions around the areola, down the breast, and along the crease to remove excess skin, making it suitable for moderate to severe sagging. While it requires more incisions, they typically fade well over time.
The internal bra is a dissolvable mesh placed beneath the skin to support the lower breast. It acts as a scaffold to maintain a higher position and reduce future sagging. This option is especially beneficial for patients with weak tissue, significant skin laxity, large breasts, or revision cases.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Incisions are based on the breast size, shape, and degree of sagging, as previously discussed.
The underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve contour and firmness. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful height, and excess skin is removed.
The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures below the skin. Some incision lines will be visible, but the resulting scars will fade over time.
A breast lift corrects sagging but doesn't significantly change breast volume or fullness. It can be combined with breast augmentation, either through implants or fat transfer, to enhance volume. For patients seeking more upper breast fullness, combining the lift with implants or fat grafting is the best option.
Following surgery, patients will be monitored in the recovery area and are allowed to go home the same day. Detailed post-operative care instructions will be provided. Discomfort will frequently subside over the next few days after surgery. Most patients are back to their normal daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, but it is important to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks to allow for full healing.
It is common for the breast to appear slightly flat along the lower pole and extra pushed up in the immediate post-op period. The breasts will slowly settle into their final position, with final results present within 3 months.
Pricing will vary depending on the exact surgical approach for your procedure. However, the typical price range is between $8000-$10000.
