A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well.
As the breasts begin to sag, they may also lose some of their size that they previously had. Because of this, Dr. Riikka Veltheim may recommend that you consider breast augmentation at the same time as your breast lift. This can easily be accomplished at the same surgery and through the same incisions. Adding a B-Lite breast implant simultaneously while lifting the breast can often improve fullness in the upper part of the breast and add cleavage.
If you think you might be a good candidate for a breast lift with or without augmentation, this page will give you a basic understanding of the procedure and the results you can expect. If you are also considering an augmentation, be sure to read our page regarding breast augmentation.
Common reasons for breast lifts
- To restore a better breast shape following pregnancy & breastfeeding. Pregnancy can bring some unwelcome changes to the breasts, often leaving them stretched and sagging. A breast lift, with or without implants, can help undo these changes and restore a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- To improve breast contour after significant weight loss. Losing weight often means losing breast volume. A breast lift can help restore a more proportional, youthful breast shape by removing excess skin.
- To enjoy a beautiful breast shape for the first time. A small but growing number of breast lift patients have had drooping breasts since their teens. Breast lift surgery can help a woman get the breast profile she has always wanted.
Do I need a breast lift?
The only way to confirm whether or not a breast lift is right for your is to consult with a professional, qualified plastic surgeon.
However, there are a couple of questions you can ask yourself to get a general idea about how a breast lift might help improve your breast shape:
What can I expect?
Breast lift surgery does not significantly change the size of your breasts or round out the upper part of your breast.
In some cases, a breast lift alone may not achieve a patient’s desired results. If you feel your breasts look “deflated” or have lost volume due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy, our plastic surgeon can place breast implants during breast lift surgery to restore fullness and shape to the breast.Read more about breast enlargement.
If you want smaller breasts, consider combining breast lift and breast reduction surgery.
The results of your breast lift surgery are immediately visible. Over time, post-surgical swelling will resolve and incision lines will fade.
Satisfaction with your new image should continue to grow as you recover from surgery. The final results of your breast lift will appear over the next few months as breast shape and position continue to settle. Incision lines are permanent but will continue to fade over time. The results of your breast lift surgery will be longlasting. Over time, your breasts can continue to change due to aging and gravity. You'll be able to retain your new look longer if you:
- Maintain your weight
- Keep a healthy lifestyle
