What Can a Breast Lift Do for You?

A breast lift repositions the breast tissue and nipple to a higher, more youthful location on the chest. It can also reshape the breast mound for improved contour. For women who also want to increase fullness, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants.

Benefits of breast lift surgery

  • Restored breast position and shape
  • Improved nipple alignment and projection
  • Areolas reduced to a more youthful, attractive size
  • Natural-looking, longer-lasting results

This versatile procedure can be adapted to your needs, helping you feel more confident in your appearance with results that align with your vision.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Women often seek breast lift surgery after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging.

Incision Options

Dr. Curtsinger offers several incision options based on your anatomy and goals, including:

  • Periareolar (around the nipple)
  • Vertical (lollipop)
  • Anchor (inverted T)

Each approach is designed to minimize visible scarring while allowing for the necessary lift and reshaping. Dr. Curtsinger can incorporate GalaFLEX™ Scaffold, a bioabsorbable surgical mesh, into the procedure when appropriate to support the breasts as an “internal bra.”

Combining Breast Lift Surgery With Implants

If you want to add fullness while correcting sagging, Dr. Curtsinger can combine your breast lift with implants. He will help you select the appropriate implant type, size, and placement to complement your frame. Saline and silicone implants are available, with both round and anatomically shaped options to enhance upper pole fullness or create a subtle slope.

Other Combinations

With extensive experience in complex combination procedures, Dr. Curtsinger combines mastopexy with other procedures when appropriate, including:

  • Upper body lift to address laxity in the breasts, upper back/bra line, and arms
  • Reverse tummy tuck to rejuvenate the abdominal area with an incision along the breast crease

This expertise allows him to tailor surgery for patients with more complex concerns, including changes after significant weight loss.

Recovery & Aftercare

Breast lift recovery typically involves 1 to 2 weeks of downtime, during which a supportive surgical bra helps minimize swelling and support your breasts as they heal. While light activity can resume within a few days, you’ll need to avoid lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks.

For optimal results, scar care is also an important part of recovery. Dr. Curtsinger recommends consistently using surgical tape and scar gel as directed to help scars fade and become as inconspicuous as possible over time.
