What Can a Breast Lift Do for You?

A breast lift is designed to restore breast shape, symmetry, and position without necessarily increasing or decreasing volume. While the procedure does not add size like breast augmentation or reduce size like breast reduction, it can be combined with implants or reduction for a fully customized transformation. A breast lift can:

  • Raise sagging breasts to a higher, more youthful position
  • Reshape the breasts for a firmer, more lifted contour
  • Improve symmetry by addressing uneven sagging
  • Reduce stretched areolas and reposition nipples for a more proportionate look
  • Enhance cleavage and projection for a more sculpted, natural shape
  • Rejuvenate post-pregnancy or post-weight loss breasts

If you are happy with your breast size but unhappy with sagging or loss of shape, a breast lift can redefine and refine your natural curves—helping you feel more confident in your silhouette with an all-natural look. You may be an ideal candidate for a breast lift if:

  • Your breasts sag or feel deflated after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
  • Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease
  • Your breasts have lost their youthful shape and appear elongated or flattened
  • You experience asymmetry due to uneven sagging
  • You are in good overall health, a non-smoker, and at a stable weight

During your one-on-one consultation for breast lift surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Galanis will carefully assess your breast shape, skin elasticity, and personal goals to develop a customized treatment plan tailored specifically for you.

Breast Lift Techniques & Customization

There are several breast lift techniques, each designed to achieve optimal shape and proportion based on your needs. The best approach depends on the degree of sagging and the amount of skin that needs to be removed.

Crescent Lift (Minimal Lift)

  • Best for mild sagging
  • Small incision along the upper edge of the areola
  • Ideal for minor nipple repositioning

Periareolar Lift (Donut Lift)

  • Best for mild to moderate sagging
  • Circular incision around the areola
  • Can be combined with implants for subtle reshaping

Vertical Lift (Lollipop Lift)

  • Best for moderate sagging
  • Incision around the areola and vertically down the breast
  • Creates a perkier, lifted shape with a refined silhouette

Anchor Lift (Full Lift)

  • Best for significant sagging and reshaping
  • Incision around the areola, down the breast, and along the crease
  • Ideal for post-pregnancy or post-weight loss patients

Dr. Galanis will carefully select the right technique for your unique anatomy to achieve beautifully sculpted, natural-looking results while minimizing scarring. His first priority is always your safety and your satisfaction, delivering an entirely bespoke experience to help you reach your personal goals.

Recovery After a Breast Lift

After your breast lift, you’ll wear a soft surgical bra to support healing and reduce swelling. Some bruising, tightness, and discomfort are normal in the first few days of breast lift recovery, but medication and rest will help you stay comfortable. Most patients return to light daily activities within a week, though exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks.

As swelling gradually subsides, your breast shape will refine, and scars will soften and fade over time. Dr. Galanis will provide detailed instructions on caring for your incisions, what activities to avoid, and when to resume your normal routine. With proper aftercare, most women feel back to themselves within a few weeks and can enjoy their renewed, lifted contour for years to come.

Combining a Breast Lift with Other Procedures

A breast lift alone does not add volume, but it can be paired with breast augmentation for fuller, more lifted results. Many women also combine a breast lift with a tummy tuck or liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover to restore their pre-pregnancy figure. If you desire both a lift and volume enhancement, Dr. Galanis can help you determine whether a breast lift with implants or a fat transfer to the breasts would best meet your personal standard.

Breast Lift FAQ

What is a breast lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. The goal is to restore a more youthful, lifted breast contour without significantly changing your cup size.

Who is a good candidate for a breast lift?

Ideal candidates are in good health, maintain a stable weight, and experience sagging or loss of shape due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetics. A consultation with Dr. Galanis will determine if a breast lift is the right option for you.

Will a breast lift increase my breast size?

A breast lift repositions and reshapes existing tissue but does not add volume. If you want more fullness, especially in the upper pole, a lift can be combined with breast augmentation for enhanced results.

How long does the procedure take?

A breast lift typically takes two to three hours, depending on the surgical technique and whether additional procedures are performed at the same time.

What is recovery like after a breast lift?

Most patients return to light activities within a week and resume full activity in four to six weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort are common early on, and wearing a supportive surgical bra helps optimize healing.

How long do breast lift results last?

Results are long lasting, but the natural aging process and gravity will continue over time. Maintaining a healthy weight and wearing proper support can help prolong your results.

Will there be scars after surgery?

Yes, a breast lift does involve incisions, but Dr. Galanis uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and place incisions strategically so they fade over time and are easily concealed.

Can I combine a breast lift with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine their lift with breast augmentation, fat transfer, or body contouring procedures as part of a comprehensive cosmetic plan. Dr. Galanis will personalize your surgical approach to align with your goals.
