Regain Your Feminine Curves.

Youthful breasts naturally sit higher on the chest, creating a firm, lifted profile. Over time, aging, gravity, and life changes can cause the skin and supportive tissues to stretch, leading the breasts to droop and appear flattened or deflated. A breast lift with Dr. Craig Lehrman at Athēnix is designed to restore a more elevated, youthful contour by repositioning and reshaping the breasts. If you are looking to regain a firmer, more confident profile, contact Athēnix to learn more about your breast lift options.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises the breasts back to their original youthful position and restores the correct position of the nipples. Athēnix’s board-certified plastic surgeons have advanced skills and focus on minimizing scarring. The type of incisions used to resolve sagging breasts will vary based on the current condition and location of the breasts and nipples.

Is a Breast Lift with Dr. Lehrman for You?

If you are dismayed with the appearance of your breasts, a breast lift can restore a more youthful shape and projection. Mastopexy surgery corrects the following:

  • Sagging, droopy, or pendulous breasts
  • Loss of volume after breastfeeding
  • Breasts that appear deflated or flat
  • Breasts that lost volume due to weight loss
  • Loss of firmness
  • Downward facing areolas
  • Breasts that have dropped to a lower position due to loss of skin elasticity

How it Works

A breast lift with Dr. Craig Lehrman removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to create a firmer, more elevated appearance. While a breast lift alone does not significantly change breast size, it can be combined with breast augmentation to restore lost volume or enhance overall fullness. During your consultation at Athēnix, Dr. Lehrman will evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine the best approach for achieving a balanced, natural-looking result.

Anchor lift

The anchor breast lift is a surgical technique that involves incisions around the areola, vertically down the breast, and horizontally along the breast crease for a more extensive lift.

Crescent lift

The crescent breast lift is a surgical approach involving a crescent-shaped incision around the upper edge of the areola to elevate and reshape the breast for a subtle lift.

Circumareolar lift

The circumareolar lift technique employs an incision around the areola's perimeter to reshape and raise the breasts, often recommended for minor lifting and contouring.

Combining a Breast Lift With Other Treatments

At Athēnix, Dr. Craig Lehrman offers breast lift surgery as a standalone procedure or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your goals. A breast lift can be combined with procedures such as a tummy tuck in a mommy makeover to address sagging in multiple areas following pregnancy or weight changes. For patients seeking additional volume, pairing a breast lift with breast augmentation can create a fuller, more dramatic enhancement while maintaining natural balance.

Breast lift results with Dr. Lehrman provide a more youthful, elevated breast contour by correcting sagging and improving firmness. While individual outcomes vary, many patients experience enhanced self-confidence, improved clothing fit, and long-lasting results that restore a refreshed, rejuvenated silhouette.

Your Recovery Process

Immediately After & Day of

After the breast lift surgery, you’ll be taken to a recovery area and monitored by medical staff. Pain and discomfort are common, and you’ll be given medication to manage these symptoms. The breasts will be wrapped in bandages and a surgical bra to support them. 

Following Days

You must rest and avoid strenuous activity for several days after the surgery. While you may still experience some pain and discomfort, this should gradually improve.

One Week Post-Op

After one week, you’ll return to Athēnix for a follow-up appointment. Your surgeon will remove the bandages, assess the healing process, and determine whether you still need to wear a surgical bra for support.

Two Weeks

You can usually return to work and resume light activities. However, you should still avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Six Weeks

After six weeks, you can usually resume normal activities, including exercise. The breasts will have healed, and the scars will begin to fade.

Three Months

At three months, you’ll follow up with your Athēnix surgeon. The scars will continue to fade, and the breasts will have settled into their new position.

Six Months

At six months, the breasts will have fully healed, and the scars will continue to fade. You can expect to see the final results of the breast lift surgery at this point.
