What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts, giving them a more youthful and lifted appearance. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and gravity can cause the breasts to lose their firmness and shape. A breast lift restores the natural contours of your breasts, enhancing your overall silhouette.

​

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for a breast lift are individuals who:

• Have sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes

• Experience a loss of breast volume or downward-pointing nipples

• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations

• Desire a more youthful, uplifted breast appearance without increasing breast size

Our Approach to Breast Lifts

At Houston Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Tyler Briley offers a personalized approach to breast lifts, focusing on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. By carefully assessing your breast tissue, skin elasticity, and desired outcome, Dr. Briley creates a customized surgical plan that achieves natural-looking results while maintaining a balanced and harmonious figure.

​

The Procedure

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about 2-3 hours. Dr. Briley will make an incision pattern tailored to your needs, which may include around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, or along the breast crease itself. Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to create a firmer, more youthful contour. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned to a more natural height. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and bandages are applied to support healing.

​

Recovery and Aftercare

After your breast lift, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a week, though you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks. Dr. Briley will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly and your results are as expected.

​

Results

The results of a breast lift are visible immediately, though the final outcome will continue to improve as swelling subsides and your breasts settle into their new position. Your rejuvenated, lifted breasts will have a more youthful and perky appearance, enhancing your body confidence and allowing you to enjoy a refreshed silhouette for years to come.
