A More Youthful Shape and Firmness

A breast lift is a surgical procedure to give more youthful shape and firmness to sagging breasts, by simply shifting the volume upwards without increasing it. While implants are a great choice for women with smaller breasts who want larger ones, a breast lift works well for women who have enough volume but lost firmness – over time, after childbirth and breastfeeding, or due to weight fluctuations.

Breast lifts and other types of breast augmentations are available at our fully-equipped cosmetic surgery centers in Nashville and Memphis. Our board-certified plastic surgeons, each with over 20 years of experience, have performed breast lifts on women of all ages, sizes, and forms.

What can I expect?

Think of it like your favorite sweater. It was once snug and tight but over time has become saggy. With a little bit of sewing expertise, you can return it to its former shape by taking in the seams and removing the extra fabric. A breast lift works in a similar way. The surgeon removes the excess skin and reshapes the underlying tissue to raise the breasts and nipples higher up on the chest. It can also Improve the look of the areola which can become enlarged over time.

The incisions are made around the areola and downward and along the breast creases. Which incision pattern is best for you depends on the size and shape of your breasts, the degree of sagging, and your skin elasticity. A breast lift can be combined with implants to improve volume and shape. Conversely, you can also combine a breast lift with a breast reduction if you want smaller but rounder breasts.

Breast lift surgery takes 2-3 hours. Recovery time is 3-5 days for regular daily activities and 2 weeks before any strenuous activities.

Each patient is unique. What your treatment will look like is determined by you and the plastic surgeon who you will meet with in a personal consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

As with any cosmetic surgery, there are no absolutes, since the human body continues to change over time. And along with your body, your breasts can change shape due to aging and gravity. However, the results of your breast lift will be long lasting. The key to the best results is to maintain your weight and to observe a healthy lifestyle based on good eating habits and exercise. Visit our Breast Lift page to learn more about the procedure.

A breast lift does not inhibit breastfeeding, as no vital functions are affected by the surgery. However, it would be our recommendation to wait with a breast lift until after childbearing. The breasts change during pregnancy, and then again afterwards as you lose excess weight, and this could negatively impact the improvements you get from a breast lift.

Just like with implants, the incision lines from a breast lift are permanent. However, they will fade and become near invisible over time. Also, a skilled plastic surgeon can “disguise” the incisions by working along the natural folds of the breast as well as the natural edge where the areola meets the lighter skin of the breast.

Studies have shown that a breast lift can actually decrease your cup size, so it’s important to discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon in your personal consultation. If you want an increased cup size, or even the same cup size as before, you may need to supplement your breast lift with implants.
