Breast Lift

For many women, the passage of time, pregnancy, weight changes, and gravity can take a toll on the appearance of their breasts. A breast lift (mastopexy) offers an effective solution, restoring a youthful, perky shape and firmer contour without the need for implants. Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift enhances the appearance of your natural breast tissue, making it an excellent choice for women who want to rejuvenate their figure.

At Palm Beach Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Michael Sistare specializes in breast lift procedures tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and goals. As one of South Florida’s top cosmetic surgeons, Dr. Sistare is known for delivering results that look natural and restore confidence. Contact us to schedule a consultation today.

Am I a Candidate for a Breast Lift?

Ideal candidates for a breast lift include women who:

  • Have sagging breasts or downward-pointing nipples.
  • Notice that their nipples fall below the natural breast crease (inframammary fold).
  • Experience a deflated or elongated breast shape.
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

If you’re planning future pregnancies or significant weight changes, you may wish to delay your procedure, as these factors can affect the longevity of your results. Dr. Sistare will help you determine if a breast lift is right for you during your consultation.

I couldn’t be happier with my breast augmentation results! It’s been three months since my surgery, and everything has healed beautifully. From my very first consultation, the doctor was incredibly kind, down-to-earth, friendly, and honest. He took the time to answer all of my questions, made me feel comfortable, and was always straightforward about what to expect. His skill as a surgeon truly speaks for itself—I absolutely love my results, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. The entire experience was positive from start to finish, and I always felt like I was in great hands. If you’re considering breast augmentation, I highly recommend this practice. I’m so grateful I chose them and would absolutely do it again. Thank you for giving me such an amazing experience and results!

More about Breast Lifts

A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and elevate sagging or deflated breasts. Over time, factors like aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations can cause the breasts to lose their firmness and youthful position. A breast lift corrects these changes by:

  • Removing excess skin.
  • Tightening and reshaping breast tissue.
  • Repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful location.

A breast lift offers numerous physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • Restored breast shape and position.
  • A firmer, more youthful contour.
  • Improved symmetry and proportion.
  • Enhanced self-confidence and body image.

Many women report feeling more comfortable in their clothing and enjoying greater confidence in their appearance after surgery. For women who desire additional volume, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation. Alternatively, for women with overly large or heavy breasts, it can be paired with breast reduction to achieve a balanced, lifted appearance.

While a breast lift improves breast shape and position, it does not add volume or fullness to the upper part of the breast. Women seeking more dramatic changes may combine their lift with breast implants for enhanced size and cleavage. During your consultation, Dr. Sistare will discuss your options and help you decide on the best approach to achieve your aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During and After Breast Lift Surgery

Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Sistare. During this appointment, you’ll discuss:

  • Your aesthetic concerns and goals.
  • The surgical approach that best suits your needs.
  • What to expect before, during, and after the procedure.

Dr. Sistare will perform a physical evaluation and outline a personalized plan to deliver your desired results.

The Surgical Procedure

A breast lift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery lasts between two and three hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

Dr. Sistare will make precise incisions to minimize scarring. The most common incision techniques include:

  • Vertical (lollipop) incision: This incision extends down from the areola to the breast crease.
  • J incision: This incision extends downward to the breast crease, and also along one side of the crease. 
  • Anchor-shaped incision: Also called an inverted T incision, this incision pattern is similar to the J incision but extends the incision to both sides of the breast crease. It is typically used for more significant sagging.

Through these incisions, Dr. Sistare reshapes the breast tissue, tightens underlying structures, and removes excess skin. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location, and, if necessary, the areola size is reduced for a balanced appearance.

Recovery and Healing

Most women can return home the same day as their surgery. Dr. Sistare provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Here’s what to expect:

  • First Week: You may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with oral pain medication.
  • Two Weeks Post-Op: Many patients return to work and light daily activities.
  • Six Weeks Post-Op: Most women can resume vigorous exercise and other activities.

Dr. Sistare will monitor your healing progress during follow-up visits and advise you on scar care to promote optimal healing.

While breast lift surgery is safe and effective, it’s important to be aware of potential risks, which include:

  • Infection or poor wound healing.
  • Changes in nipple or breast sensation (usually temporary).
  • Minor asymmetry or irregularities in contour.
  • Scarring, which typically fades over time.

Dr. Sistare takes every precaution to minimize risks and will discuss these considerations in detail during your consultation.

Maintaining Your Results

A breast lift provides long-lasting results, but it’s essential to understand that no surgery can stop the natural aging process. Factors such as gravity, weight fluctuations, and skin elasticity will continue to impact your breasts over time. To maintain your results:

  • Wear a supportive bra regularly.
  • Maintain a stable weight by eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise.
  • Avoid smoking, which can affect skin health and healing.

Breast Lift FAQs

The cost of your breast lift in Palm Beach will depend on the details of your procedure, such as whether or not you choose to add breast implants. For this reason, we will be able to provide you with a more accurate breast lift cost estimate at the time of your consultation.
Most insurance plans do not cover breast lift surgery, unless it is deemed medically necessary, such as part of reconstruction surgery following a mastectomy. For specific information about your health insurance coverage, call the number listed on the back of your insurance card.
Yes! We are pleased to offer several breast lift financing options, including Cherry payment plans and CareCredit, to help make your procedure as affordable and stress-free as possible.
Many women can breastfeed after a breast lift, but this depends on the surgical technique used. If breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this with Dr. Sistare during your consultation.
It is not a requirement to be finished having children before getting a breast lift, but keep in mind that future pregnancies and breastfeeding have the potential to affect your results. In this case, you may require a revision surgery to restore those same results.
Yes, you can still get mammograms after a breast lift, as the procedure doesn’t interfere with breast tissue.
There is no single “best” age to get a breast lift. The more important factor is that you are at a stage of your life where you have some time to take away from work and other daily obligations. While many women choose to wait until they’ve completed their families to get a breast lift, this is not a requirement.
A breast lift may make your breast appear slightly smaller due to the tightening and removal of loose skin. If this is a concern for you, talk to Dr. Sistare about the possibility of including breast implants with your breast lift.
You may be able to benefit from a breast lift if your breasts sag, nipples point downward or the shape has changed due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight fluctuations. During your consultation, Dr. Sistare can help you determine if a breast lift could be right for you.
Expect to experience some swelling, soreness, tenderness and discomfort immediately following your breast lift, especially in the first few days. These symptoms are usually easily managed with over-the-counter or prescription pain medication. Most patients find the procedure and recovery to be well-tolerated overall.
Absolutely! Many women choose to combine a breast lift with procedures such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, or a tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover.
Yes, but Dr. Sistare uses meticulous techniques to place incisions in areas that are easily concealed by bras or swimsuits. Scars will fade over time and can be minimized with proper care.
While a breast lift delivers permanent improvements, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can prolong your results.
You’ll notice an immediate improvement after surgery, but final results take several months as swelling subsides and your breasts settle into their new position.
As with any surgical procedure, a breast lift comes with risks such as bleeding, infection, loss of nipple sensation and complications related to anesthesia. Dr. Sistare will review these potential risks and complications with you prior to your procedure and explain the measures that he and his team take in order to minimize them as much as possible.
