A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and contoured appearance. Over time, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and gravity can cause breasts to lose their natural shape and firmness. A breast lift addresses these concerns by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipples for a more lifted and youthful look.
At our clinic, Dr. O.P. Simmons and Dr. Jaime Flores, both board-certified plastic surgeons, specialize in breast lift procedures. Their combined expertise and personalized approach ensure that patients receive the highest quality care and optimal results.
A breast lift is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and raises sagging breasts. Unlike breast augmentation, which increases breast size using implants, a breast lift focuses on improving the position, shape, and firmness of the breasts without significantly altering their volume. It is ideal for women who are satisfied with the size of their breasts but want to correct sagging and achieve a more youthful contour.
During the breast lift procedure, Dr. Simmons and Dr. Flores will:
Make an incision in one of the following patterns: around the areola (periareolar), around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease (lollipop), or around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the breast fold (anchor).
Remove excess skin and reshape the underlying breast tissue to lift and tighten the breast.
Reposition the nipple and areola to a more natural and youthful position.
Close the incisions with sutures, and in some cases, reshape the areola to better match the new breast contour.
The result is a firmer, uplifted breast shape with improved nipple position.

After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, although heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.
The best candidates for a breast lift are women who:
A breast lift can last for many years, but the effects of aging, gravity, and weight fluctuations may eventually cause some sagging to return.
A breast lift does not significantly change breast size but can make the breasts appear slightly smaller due to the removal of excess skin.
A breast lift is considered a cosmetic procedure and is generally not covered by insurance unless it is part of a reconstructive procedure.
Yes, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation to increase size and improve breast shape at the same time.
As with any surgery, a breast lift carries risks such as scarring, infection, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry.
Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job and the extent of the procedure.
Scars are an inevitable part of surgery, but they usually fade over time. Dr. Simmons and Dr. Flores use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure discreet incision placement.
Many women can breastfeed after a breast lift, but there is a chance that the surgery may affect milk production. It’s important to discuss your plans with your surgeon.
A breast lift reshapes and lifts the breasts without removing significant breast tissue, while a breast reduction removes both excess skin and breast tissue to reduce breast size and improve shape.
The final results of a breast lift will become apparent after the swelling subsides, typically within 3-6 months after surgery.
