At our practice in Phoenix breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, our surgeons remove excess skin, reposition breast tissue, and elevate the nipple-areola complex to create a more youthful and perky breast contour.
This transformative procedure can address changes in breast appearance due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight fluctuations. While a breast lift alone doesn't significantly alter breast size, it can be combined with breast augmentation with fat grafting or implants or reduction for comprehensive enhancement.
With a breast lift Phoenix patients will begin with a comprehensive consultation with their Southwest plastic surgeon. They will learn about your goals for surgery and provide personalized recommendations on the best approach for your needs. Should you decide to pursue a breast lift, they will review the details of your procedure, including the recommended incision locations, your recovery timeline, and the results you can expect to achieve.
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will create incisions in one of a few different patterns, depending on the extent of your procedure.
These are some of the most common breast lift incision patterns:
Your plastic surgeon will use these incisions to precisely remove excess skin, reposition the breast tissue, and elevate the breast mound on the chest wall. They may also lift the nipple-areola complex to a higher position or reduce the circumference of the nipples according to your specific goals. In most cases, breast lift surgery lasts 2-3 hours. After surgery, our team will monitor you in a recovery area, ensuring your safety and comfort before releasing you with a friend or family member to drive you home.

At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, we understand that the benefits of a breast lift extend beyond physical changes. Our patients often report feeling more confident, comfortable, and feminine as a result of this procedure.
Ideal candidates for a breast lift are generally:
During your consultation for a breast lift Phoenix plastic surgeons at Southwest Breast & Aesthetics will thoroughly assess your health history and discuss your goals to ensure a breast lift is the right choice for you.
Recovery from a breast lift typically involves about 1-2 weeks of downtime with a gradual return to normal activities by 6 weeks. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort initially, which are managed with prescribed medication and gradually subside over the next few weeks.
Your surgeon will provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions, including wearing a surgical bra to support the breast tissue as it heals. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks but will need to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 6 weeks. Our team will closely monitor your progress through follow-up appointments, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
While you'll notice an immediate improvement in your breast position after surgery, final results become more refined as swelling subsides over the following months.
To maintain your breast lift results, we recommend maintaining a stable weight. The results of a breast lift can be long-lasting, especially with proper care and maintenance.
