About Breast Lift Procedures

Pregnancy, nursing, and aging can cause breast sagging and loss of shape. A breast lift (mastopexy) restores a more youthful breast appearance by lifting and reshaping breast tissue.

Breast Lift Procedure Overview

Breast lift surgery involves repositioning breast tissue to create a more elevated, firm contour. Depending on individual needs, the procedure can range from minimal incision techniques to more comprehensive reshaping approaches.

Procedure Types

• Circumareolar lift (minimal scarring)
• Standard breast lift (more extensive reshaping)
• Combination with breast augmentation
