What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is not only about looking better—it’s about restoring proportion, comfort, and confidence in your everyday life. The procedure rejuvenates your natural shape while respecting your body’s integrity.

Patients enjoy the following outcomes:

  • A perkier, more youthful breast position
  • Better symmetry and improved proportions
  • More comfortable and flattering clothing fit
  • Boosted confidence and body image
  • Long-lasting results without implants
  • Custom treatment tailored to your anatomy

About the Breast Lift Procedure

A breast lift, or mastopexy, elevates and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the tissue and nipple-areola complex. It restores firmness, improves contour, and creates a more youthful, uplifted appearance.

Unlike breast augmentation, a lift doesn’t increase volume, but it can be paired with implants for added fullness if desired.

A breast lift can address the following concerns:

  • Skin laxity caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
  • Flattened, elongated breast shape
  • Low or downward-facing nipples
  • Stretched areolas or asymmetry
  • Moderate to severe breast drooping (ptosis)

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your goals and determine whether a standalone lift or combination procedure will best achieve your desired results.

Are You a Good Candidate?

A breast lift is ideal for healthy women who are finished with childbearing and looking to address breast sagging or shape changes. We’ll evaluate your goals and medical history to ensure this is the right procedure for you.

The following are ideal candidates:

  • Non-smokers or those willing to stop before surgery
  • Adults with mild to severe breast sagging
  • Women with stretched or lowered nipples
  • Patients at or near their goal weight
  • Individuals with realistic goals and healthy expectations
  • Those not currently pregnant or breastfeeding

If you’re unsure whether a lift or a lift with augmentation is right for you, we’ll guide you through your options in your consultation.

What to Expect During Surgery

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation in Calhoun, GA, where your surgeon will examine your breasts, discuss your goals, and design a tailored surgical plan.

How the Breast Lift Procedure Is Performed

  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia is used to ensure comfort and safety.
  • Incisions: Based on your degree of ptosis, your surgeon will select one of three incision techniques.
  • Reshaping: Excess skin is removed, and tissue is tightened and lifted.
  • Nipple Positioning: The nipple-areola complex is elevated and resized if needed.
  • Closing: Sutures are layered internally, and external incisions are precisely closed.

Breast Lift Techniques We Use

In some cases, liposuction reduces fatty tissue or improves contour around the breast or underarm area.

  • Benelli (Donut) Lift: This procedure involves a circular incision around the areola, which is ideal for mild sagging and minimal scarring.
  • Lollipop (Vertical) Lift: This procedure involves Incisions around the areola and vertically down the breast; it is effective for moderate ptosis.
  • Anchor (Inverted T) Lift: This procedure adds a horizontal incision under the breast for more severe sagging and reshaping.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a breast lift is typically smooth and well-tolerated. You’ll receive a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your healing breasts.

  • Most patients return to light activities within one week.

  • Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for four to six weeks.

  • Swelling and bruising resolve gradually.

  • Final results begin to settle within two to three months.

  • Scars fade with time and are discreetly placed.

Complementary Procedures

Depending on your aesthetic goals, your breast lift can be paired with other procedures such as the following:

  • Breast Augmentation: Adds volume using implants or fat transfer.
  • Breast Reduction: Removes excess breast tissue for relief and proportion.
  • Tummy Tuck: Tightens the abdomen for overall body harmony.
  • Mommy Makeover: A full-body rejuvenation tailored to post-pregnancy concerns.

Breast Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose breast volume with a lift?

A lift repositions tissue without changing volume. If you desire fuller breasts, augmentation can be added.

Can I still breastfeed after a breast lift?

Many women retain the ability to breastfeed, but it’s not guaranteed. If you plan to have children in the future, let us know.

What are the risks of breast lift surgery?

Risks include infection, asymmetry, scarring, and changes in nipple sensitivity. All risks are thoroughly discussed during your consultation.

How noticeable are the scars?

Scars are strategically placed and fade over time. Most patients find them a worthwhile tradeoff for the results.
