What is a Breast Lift Procedure?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift, tighten, and reshape sagging or deflated breasts. By removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple, and enhancing the overall contour, a breast lift restores a youthful, perky appearance to the chest—without necessarily increasing breast size.

If your breasts are drooping due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics, a breast lift may help you regain your confidence and achieve the silhouette you desire.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?

You may be an ideal candidate for mastopexy in Beverly Hills and Pasadena if you:

  • Are unhappy with sagging, elongated, or asymmetrical breasts
  • Have nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
  • Are in good overall health and at a stable weight
  • Do not smoke or are willing to quit before and after surgery

Important Considerations: If you're planning to have more children, currently nursing, or considering significant weight loss (20 lbs or more), it's often recommended to postpone surgery to preserve your results.

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?

  • More lifted, symmetrical breasts
  • Enhanced body proportions and posture
  • Clothing fits better—especially swimsuits and bras
  • Reduced skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts
  • Boosted self-confidence and satisfaction
  • Long-lasting results that evolve naturally with your body

What Happens During the Breast Lift Procedure?

The mastopexy procedure typically takes 2–3 hours under general anesthesia. Here's what to expect:

  • Excess skin is removed to eliminate sagging.
  • Nipples and areolas are repositioned to a more youthful height.
  • Breast tissue is reshaped, and internal support may be added.
  • Optional: Breast implants can be added if volume enhancement is desired.

Each breast lift in Beverly Hills and Pasadena is customized to the patient's anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.

Overall incredible experience, and I'm very happy with my results. Dr. Rogers fixed areas of my body that were botched by surgeons at a well-known hospital. He performed a breast reduction, reverse abdominoplasty, a brachioplasty, hernia repair, and an abdominal scar revision. He was able to have the medically necessary items cleared through my insurance, and the cosmetic-only items were done for a reasonable price. Dr. Rogers has a wonderful bedside manner and is compassionate and kind in dealing with sensitive body issues. His team is well-vetted, and each employee is very good at what they do. I am grateful to all of them.

Breast Lift Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my breast lift results last?

Results are long-lasting, but natural aging and lifestyle changes can affect longevity. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can extend results.

Will a breast lift affect nipple sensation?

Some patients experience temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation. Most regain normal sensitivity within a few months.

Can a breast lift correct breast asymmetry?

Yes. A breast lift can improve symmetry by adjusting shape and position. In more complex cases, combining procedures like reduction or augmentation may be recommended.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

It depends. While many retain the ability to breastfeed, some may experience reduced lactation capability. If you plan to have more children, it’s best to wait.

What’s the difference between a lift and augmentation?

A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts. Augmentation adds volume using implants. Many women choose to combine both for optimal results.
