What is a Breast Lift?

Despite the initial beauty of your breasts, the passage of time, life's experiences, and the effects of gravity can lead to sagging. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is designed to lift and rejuvenate sagging breasts, restoring them to a more youthful position while correcting nipple placement. At Athēnix, our board-certified plastic surgeons prioritize minimizing scars. The choice of incisions for addressing breast sagging depends on each patient's unique breast and nipple condition.

Is a Breast Lift for You?

Modern women have the advantage of being able to correct what life and time have affected in their bodies. If pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process have altered the appeal of your feminine curves, cosmetic procedures are available to help you regain that youthful, fresh profile. A breast lift can address a variety of undesirable conditions, including:

  • Sagging or pendulous breasts
  • Loss of breast volume due to weight loss or breastfeeding
  • Breasts that appear deflated or flat
  • Decreased fullness in the upper breasts
  • Loss of firmness
  • Unattractive cleavage
  • Breasts descending due to reduced skin elasticity
  • Nipples pointing downward

  • The freedom to go braless, wear plunging necklines or bikini tops with confidence

Choosing Your Lift

Our surgeons have a variety of incision placement techniques to select from for your breast lift procedure. Your surgeon will recommend the best type of breast lift for you based on the amount of excess skin, the condition of your existing breast tissue, and your personal goals to achieve the most attractive results with the least scarring possible. Types of breast lifts include the following.

Anchor lift

The anchor breast lift technique employs incisions encircling the areola, extending vertically down the breast and horizontally along the breast crease to achieve a comprehensive lift.

Crescent lift

The crescent breast lift involves a surgical method with a crescent-shaped incision around the upper border of the areola, focusing on elevating and reshaping the breast for a more subtle lift.

Circumareolar lift

The circumareolar lift approach utilizes an incision encircling the perimeter of the areola to reshape and elevate the breasts, often recommended for minor lifting and contouring.

Combining a Breast Lift With Other Treatments

Athēnix offers comprehensive transformations by combining a breast lift with other treatments. For example, a mommy makeover includes a breast lift and tummy tuck for women experiencing sagging in both the breast and abdominal areas. Additionally, combining breast augmentation with a lift can result in larger, perkier breasts, achieving a more dramatic transformation.

Your Recovery Process

Immediate Post-Op & Day Of

Following your breast lift surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area by medical professionals. Pain and discomfort are common and can be managed with medication. Your breasts will be wrapped securely with bandages and placed in a surgical bra to provide essential support.

Following Days

Rest and avoiding strenuous activities are crucial for several days post-surgery. While you may still experience some pain and discomfort, these sensations should gradually subside.

One Week

Around one week after your procedure, you'll return to Athēnix for a follow-up appointment. Your surgeon will remove the bandages, assess the healing progress, and determine whether you need to continue wearing a surgical bra for added support.

Two Weeks

You can typically resume work and engage in light activities after two weeks. However, it's essential to continue avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Six Weeks

You can usually resume normal activities at the six-week mark, including exercise. The breasts will have undergone substantial healing, and any scars will begin to fade.

Three Months

Around the three-month mark, you will follow up with your Athēnix surgeon. The scars will continue to fade, and the breasts will have settled into their new position.

Six Months

Six months post-surgery, the breasts will have fully healed, and any remaining scars will continue to fade. This is when you can expect to see the final results of your breast lift surgery.

Perky Results

Many women desire to restore the high, firm, perky breasts they once had, whether due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, natural aging, or genetics. While time cannot be reversed, breast lift results can work wonders for your overall appearance and well-being, improving clothing fit, boosting confidence, and enhancing your overall figure.

Breast Lift FAQ

What factors determine what kind of breast lift is right for me?

What kinds of incisions will be made during the procedure?

What can a breast lift correct?

How long does a breast lift take?

Am I a candidate for a breast lift?

Will there be scarring?

What factors determine what kind of breast lift is right for me?

The first factor is how you would like your breasts to be improved. After that, size, shape, degree of sag, the health of your skin, your age, and other factors come into play. The position, size, and shape of the areolas are also considered.

What kinds of incisions will be made during the procedure?

This largely depends on how much of a lift you require to achieve the look you want. The crescent incision is minimal and designed for minimal sag or when combined with implants. The anchor can correct heavy sagging. There are several other styles of incisions, including those made in the armpit, appropriate for saline implants.

What can a breast lift correct?

Sagging, of course, but a breast lift can correct cosmetic imperfections such as downward nipples, loss of rounded, firm, youthful breast tissue, and sagging.

How long does a breast lift take?

It takes about two hours, depending on the work being done, more if the surgery is combined with other procedures. You will be able to go home afterward but will need to be driven by a friend or family member.

Am I a candidate for a breast lift?

If your breasts have changed in volume or firmness due to weight loss, age, or child-bearing, and you are in good health and have realistic expectations, you are likely a good candidate.

Will there be scarring?

Yes, however, we use advanced suturing techniques to minimize the size and appearance of the scarring. The overall results of a breast lift far outweigh any scarring.
