What Is Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift surgery, medically known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging or drooping breasts. Unlike breast augmentation, which focuses on increasing breast size, a breast lift aims to provide a perkier, more youthful contour by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding breast tissue. This procedure provides a great solution for individuals experiencing breast sagging due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or gravity, restoring a firmer and more aesthetically pleasing shape.
What Issues Does Breast Lift Surgery Improve?
Breast lift surgery primarily addresses aesthetic concerns associated with sagging or drooping breasts, providing a rejuvenated, more youthful breast profile. However, there can be some associated medical benefits to the procedure.
Aesthetic Issues
- Elevating Sagging Breasts: Breast lift surgery tackles ptosis by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, raising breasts to a more youthful position.
- Reshaping: Through a breast lift, the breasts can be reshaped to appear firmer and more toned, improving the overall contour.
- Nipple Repositioning: The surgery can also correct downward-pointing or unevenly positioned nipples by repositioning them to a more centralized and upward-pointing position.
- Improved Symmetry: By addressing sagging on an individual basis, a breast lift can improve symmetry between the breasts.
Medical Issues
- Discomfort Alleviation: For some individuals, sagging breasts can cause physical discomfort or skin irritation beneath the breast fold. A breast lift can alleviate such issues by elevating the breasts.
- Enhanced Confidence: Much like augmentation, a breast lift can significantly boost self-confidence and body image by creating a more youthful and rejuvenated breast appearance.
- Post-Pregnancy or Weight Loss Restoration: Following significant life changes, such as pregnancy or substantial weight loss, a breast lift can raise the breasts to a more elevated position and firmer state.
Am I a Good Candidate for Beverly Hills Breast Lift Surgery?
Any patients looking to improve the shape and position of their breasts could be potential candidates for breast lift surgery. Some other factors to consider before committing to any aesthetic surgery, including breast lift, include:
- Physical Health: Like any plastic surgery, being in good health is crucial when considering breast lift surgery. The procedure requires anesthesia and carries surgical risks, so it’s essential that any pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular issues, are well-managed. A healthy individual is more likely to have a smoother surgical experience and better healing.
- Age: While there isn’t a specific age requirement for a breast lift, it’s often recommended for individuals who have completed their families as pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter the surgical results. Moreover, the breasts should have fully developed before considering this surgery.
- Non-smoking: It’s well-established that smoking can interfere with the body’s natural healing process, posing potential complications during and after surgery. Hence, individuals are advised to quit smoking at least six weeks prior to and after the scheduled surgery to improve surgical outcome and recovery.
- Realistic Expectations: Having realistic expectations is essential when considering breast lift surgery. Understanding that the procedure aims to lift and reshape the breasts, rather than significantly enhance size, is crucial. Ensuring you are pursuing this procedure for personal satisfaction and wellbeing rather than external pressures or unrealistic ideals is vital.
- Skin Elasticity: Good skin elasticity can help achieve better results as the skin needs to conform to the breasts’ new shape post-surgery.
- Commitment to Post-Surgical Care: Being ready to adhere to post-operative instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle post-surgery is crucial for achieving and maintaining the best possible results.

Breast Lift Consultation and Preparation
During your consultation, you will discuss your aesthetic desires and undergo a comprehensive health assessment to ensure your suitability for the procedure. Upon deciding to proceed, you may undergo some medical tests, and your surgeon will provide guidance regarding medications to avoid and the importance of ceasing smoking to promote better healing.
Breast Lift Procedure
On the day of your surgery, anesthesia will be administered. The duration of the surgery generally lasts between two to three hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. Your surgeon will remove excess skin and reshape and lift the breast tissue to achieve a more youthful and perky contour. Once the desired lift and shape are achieved, he closes the incisions and applies dressings to aid in the healing process.
Immediate Post-Surgery and Recovery
Breast lift surgery is generally an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day; however, you will be required to have someone drive you home and help you. Once home, the recovery phase begins. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Wearing dressings or a surgical bra will be advised to minimize swelling and support your new contours during the initial healing period.
Long-Term Follow-Ups and Results
A gradual return to light activities is usually possible within one to two weeks, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for up to six weeks to allow for proper healing.
Your surgeon will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and to ensure optimal results. Adhering to their post-operative instructions is pivotal for achieving the best possible outcomes. The full aesthetic benefits of your breast lift will become more apparent several months post-surgery as any residual swelling subsides and the breast tissues settle into their new position.
