Understanding the Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple for a more youthful appearance. Unlike breast augmentation—which adds volume through implants or fat transfer—a breast lift works with your existing tissue to improve firmness, elevation, and natural proportions. Many patients find it the perfect solution to address changes from aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or genetics.
Are You a Good Candidate?
You may be an ideal candidate if you’ve experienced breast sagging and want to restore shape and symmetry without significantly changing your breast size. Good candidates are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and understand the procedure’s benefits and recovery process. During your consultation, Dr. Scheefer will evaluate your goals and recommend the best approach for your unique anatomy—whether a breast lift alone or combined with augmentation for enhanced results.
The Procedure & What to Expect
The procedure typically takes 2–3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Scheefer takes a meticulous, scar-conscious approach, carefully planning incision placement to help keep visible scarring as minimal and discreet as possible. Whenever appropriate, incisions are positioned along the natural contours of the breast so scars can heal in less noticeable areas.
The exact technique will depend on your anatomy, degree of lift needed, and aesthetic goals. During surgery, excess skin is removed and breast tissue is reshaped and repositioned to create a firmer, more elevated silhouette while limiting incisions whenever safely possible. You’ll also receive detailed pre- and post-operative instructions designed to support proper healing and optimal scar maturation. Our compassionate team will be available to answer your questions and help you feel prepared and confident throughout the process.
Recovery & Results
Most patients experience some soreness and swelling after the procedure, but discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed medication. You can usually return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Many patients notice visible improvements within the first few weeks, with continued refinement as swelling subsides over the following months. Final results are stable and long-lasting, giving you years of confidence in your appearance.
