Lift your breasts & reclaim your youthful figure
A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and elevates your breasts for a more youthful, lifted appearance. Over time, factors like pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can cause your breasts to lose firmness and sag. A breast lift removes excess skin, tightens tissue, and repositions the nipples for a perkier, natural look. While it doesn’t change breast size, it enhances shape and symmetry. Whether you want to restore your pre-pregnancy figure or refine your silhouette, a breast lift helps you feel confident and beautifully refreshed.
Possible reasons to consider breast lift:
- Breasts have lost firmness and appear saggy due to aging or weight changes
- Nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease
- Breast shape feels deflated after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Asymmetry between breasts in shape or position
- Discomfort or skin irritation from sagging breasts
- Desire to restore a youthful, perky breast contour
- Lack of confidence in the appearance of your breasts
- Wanting a more lifted, balanced look without increasing breast size
How do I know if I need a breast lift?
If your breasts appear saggy, lack firmness, or your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease, you may benefit from a breast lift. A simple test is the “pencil test”—place a pencil under your breast fold; if it stays in place without support, you may have enough sagging to consider surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Slack will assess your breast tissue, skin elasticity, and proportions to determine whether a breast lift is the right solution for you.
Will a breast lift change the size of my breasts?
A breast lift reshapes and repositions your breasts but does not change their size. However, because the procedure removes excess skin and firms the breast tissue, some patients feel their breasts appear slightly smaller after surgery. If you want more fullness, you can combine a lift with breast augmentation using implants or fat transfer to achieve both lift and volume. If you prefer smaller breasts, a breast reduction can be performed along with the lift.
What can I expect during the consultation?
During your consultation with Dr. Slack, you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and desired breast shape. She will carefully evaluate your breast size, skin elasticity, nipple position, and overall proportions to determine the best approach. You’ll also learn about incision options, surgical techniques, and whether adding implants could enhance your results. Dr. Slack will also review before-and-after photos, answer your questions, and create a personalized surgical plan. By the end, you’ll feel empowered to take the next step toward beautiful, natural-looking results.
What happens during the breast lift procedure?
On the day of your breast lift, you’ll be placed under general anesthesia. Dr. Slack begins by making carefully planned incisions, which may be around the areola, vertically down the breast, or along the crease, depending on your needs. She removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue, and lifts the nipples to a higher, more youthful position. If needed, the areolas can be resized for better proportion. Finally, she closes the incisions for natural, elegant results. You’ll wake up with perkier, beautifully contoured breasts.
What can I expect during recovery after a breast lift?
After your breast lift, you’ll wake up in a supportive surgical bra to minimize swelling and promote healing. In the first few days, you can expect mild discomfort, tightness, and swelling, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You’ll need to rest and avoid lifting your arms or heavy objects. Most patients feel well enough to return to light activities within a week, but bruising and swelling will gradually subside over several weeks.
Dr. Slack will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. By week two, you can resume non-strenuous work, but you’ll need to wait four to six weeks before exercising or lifting anything heavy. Your incisions will gradually fade over time, and by three to six months, you’ll see your final, beautifully lifted results. Dr. Slack monitors your healing closely, ensuring natural, long-lasting contours that complement your figure.
Will my results look and feel natural?
Yes! Dr. Slack specializes in creating natural, elegant results that enhance your unique shape.
After a breast lift, your breasts will feel firmer, look perkier, and have a more youthful contour, while still moving naturally. If you choose to combine a lift with implants, Dr. Slack carefully selects the right size and placement to maintain a soft, balanced appearance. Over time, as swelling subsides and your skin adjusts, your breasts will feel comfortable and natural.
