A breast lift removes excess skin and tightens surrounding tissue to elevate the breasts. It’s ideal for women who have experienced changes due to aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Under anesthesia, incisions are made based on your breast anatomy and desired lift. Common incision types include around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the fold. Tissue is reshaped, and nipples are lifted to a more youthful height.
A lift reshapes but doesn’t increase volume. Implants can be added if enhancement is desired.
Most patients return to light activities within 1 week and resume normal routines in 3–4 weeks.
Scars fade significantly over time and are placed to be as discreet as possible.
While it’s possible, future breastfeeding may be affected depending on the technique used.
