Restore Shape and Confidence

Over time, factors such as pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can affect the position and firmness of the breasts. If you feel that sagging or loss of shape is keeping you from feeling comfortable in your body, a breast lift can restore a more youthful, balanced contour.

What Is It?

A breast lift, also called mastopexy, reshapes the breast by removing excess skin and lifting the tissue into a higher, more natural position. This procedure does not change breast size, but it can be combined with augmentation or reduction if desired.

During your consultation, Dr. Matthew Isakson explains the available techniques, incision placement, and recovery process. He makes sure you understand what the procedure can and cannot achieve, helping you set realistic expectations.

Breast Lift FAQs

  • How Do I Know if I Need a Lift or Implants?

    A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts, while implants add volume. If you are mainly bothered by sagging or nipple position, a lift may be the right choice. If you want both lifting and fullness, combining a lift with implants can create a more complete result. During your consultation, Dr. Isakson will explain what each option can achieve so you can choose the approach that aligns with your goals.

  • Will a Breast Lift Make My Breasts Smaller?

    Because a lift removes extra skin, some patients feel their breasts look slightly smaller even though very little breast tissue is removed. The goal is not to reduce size, but to create a firmer, more lifted shape that feels natural and proportional. If maintaining or increasing volume is important to you, implants can be added to your lift.

  • What Will My Scars Look Like?

    Incision patterns vary depending on your anatomy and the degree of lift needed. Dr. Isakson places incisions thoughtfully to keep them as discreet as possible. Scars soften and fade with time, and you will receive guidance on scar care to support healthy healing. Most patients feel that the improved shape is well worth the trade.

  • How Long Does Recovery Take?

    Most patients return to light activities within a week and resume full activity within a few weeks. Swelling and tightness gradually improve as your body heals. Dr. Isakson provides detailed recovery instructions and schedules follow-up visits so you always feel supported and informed.

  • Can a Lift Improve Asymmetry?

    Yes. Many women have natural differences between their breasts. A lift can help correct mild to moderate asymmetry by adjusting breast shape, position, and projection. During your consultation, Dr. Isakson will evaluate your anatomy and explain what level of symmetry is realistically achievable.

  • Will My Results Change Over Time?

    Your breasts will continue to age naturally, but the lifted shape created during surgery remains stable. Maintaining a consistent weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve your results. Many patients enjoy the benefits of their lift for years.
