Breasts are not immune to the aging process. As women age and go through various life changes such as pregnancy, aging and weight fluctuations, droopy breasts can occur.

The good news is deflated or droopy breasts can be corrected with a mastopexy.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to lift and reshape sagging breasts. The process involves removing excess skin, and reshaping the tissue so your breasts are younger, perkier, and higher on the chest wall. A breast lift includes repairing nipples that point downward, stretched areolae, or asymmetrical breasts. Our Beverly Hills breast lifts are performed without the use of implants or fat transfers, leaving you with naturally enhanced breasts that restore your self-confidence in your body image.

Dr. Stevens is known for providing among the best results in a breast lift Beverly Hills has to offer, and can create a customized treatment plan that addresses your aesthetic wishes, anatomy and lifestyle.

What is the general cost of a breast lift?

While each patient is different and prices are quoted individually, the average cost of a custom breast lift is in the range of $7,950, but the price will vary based on the extent of the surgery, and whether implants are added.

Breast Lift Before & After

Am I a Good Candidate For Breast Lift Surgery?

Candidates for breast lift surgery are women who are in good physical health with realistic expectations for improving the appearance of sagging breasts. Women with smaller, sagging breasts often achieve more long-lasting results than women with heavy breasts. It is generally advised that your mastopexy be postponed for women planning future pregnancies.

Overview of Mastopexy Techniques

The Benelli lift

During this type of lift, an incision is made around the areola, with scarring nicely hidden within the darker skin pigments. Also called a donut lift, the Benelli lift is appropriate for those with limited breast ptosis

The crescent lift

For those patients with mild breast ptosis, the crescent lift provides subtle, nuanced improvements. The incision is made around the areola.

The lollipop lift

True to its name, the lollipop incision encircles the areola and then travels down the breast to the crease. The lollipop lift might be a good choice for patients with moderate breast ptosis.

The anchor lift

Here, an incision is made that loops around the nipple, travels down the breast, and then horizontally across the breast crease, mimicking the shape of an anchor. This type of lift is ideal for those with more severe breast ptosis.

Breast Lift With Added Volume

A breast lift can be combined with a breast augmentation if you want to increase the size of your breasts, or a breast reduction if your breasts are uncomfortably large. Having firm, supple breasts can reduce back and neck pain, give you added energy, and alleviate skin irritations.

What to Expect After Surgery

After undergoing your Beverly Hills breast lift surgery, it is common to experience swelling and bruising during the initial healing process. Some discomfort can be expected during the first few days that can be relieved with prescription pain medication. It is also possible for numbness to occur, but this will typically fade within six weeks.

A surgical bra will likely need to be worn during the first few days and then will need to be replaced by a soft support which should be worn around the clock for the next several weeks.

While the resulting incision will be visible, it can typically be concealed with a bra or bathing suit and will fade with time. The scar may appear worse during the first few months before beginning to fade. A return to work and light activity can usually be expected within one week after your breast lift in Beverly Hills.
