Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift procedure can correct the appearance of your breasts whether your current breast shape is due to the effects of pregnancies, weight gain & loss, or simply due to aging. Unfortunately, there is simply no non-surgical alternative to a mastopexy.

Breast Lift Surgery

Surgery to lift the breast will elevate the nipple to the appropriate level, reposition the breast tissue itself to create a fuller & natural breast shape, and address any excess skin that might be present. All of these surgical maneuvers combine to “turn back the clock” and recreate your inherent beauty. You will look AND feel better!

Mastopexy, breast lift, boob job. The procedure goes by many names, but they all mean the same thing – lifting the breast to restore a more natural and youthful appearance.

I have performed these procedures for over 25 years and offer many options, including a short scar lift, the LeJour lift, vertical mastopexy, peri-areolar (donut) mastopexy, superior pedicle, inferior pedicle and many others. For those who are fortunate enough to have lost considerable weight, I have unique solutions to restore your appearance. I have benefited from extensive experience in breast reconstruction after mastectomy for cancer and apply this knowledge and skill to breast lifting procedures.

Be sure to visit the Patient Resources Page which will guide you to a number of excellent resources to learn more about these procedures. Look at the before and after pictures in my photographic gallery for some examples of breast lifts. Visit the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) website for an excellent 3D animation of the procedure.

Breast lift is usually considered a cosmetic surgery. More information about the financial arrangements for cosmetic surgery can be found on the Consultation Page.
