Breast Lift

A breast lift removes excess skin, not breast tissue, so your breast volume generally remains the same. Because the breasts are lifted into a higher, more youthful position, they may appear or feel smaller simply because they occupy less space on the chest.

If your goal is to restore additional fullness, we can discuss combining your breast lift with implants or fat grafting. If your goal is to have smaller, lighter breasts, a breast reduction can be performed, removing both excess skin and breast tissue.

Yes. By reshaping your existing breast tissue and moving it into a higher position, a breast lift often creates the appearance of greater upper pole fullness, even without adding volume. However, if you've lost a significant amount of breast tissue, implants or fat grafting may be recommended to restore additional fullness.

Every breast lift requires incisions, and the pattern depends on the amount of lifting needed. Most women have a scar around the areola and a vertical scar extending to the breast crease. Some patients also require a scar hidden within the breast fold. We'll discuss your expected scar pattern during your consultation and provide detailed scar care instructions after surgery to help optimize healing.

Many women are able to successfully breastfeed after a breast lift. While no surgeon can guarantee future breastfeeding ability, every effort is made to preserve normal breast function whenever possible.

A breast lift provides long-lasting improvement, but your breasts will continue to change naturally over time due to aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and gravity. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve your results for many years.

Future pregnancies and breastfeeding can affect the shape and position of your breasts. While many women are very happy with their results after having children, additional changes may occur, and some patients choose a revision procedure in the future.
