A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape sagging breasts and elevate their position on the chest wall. It removes excess breast skin, tightens surrounding tissue, and repositions the breast tissue and nipple for a youthful appearance. Some patients may choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation or breast reduction for enhanced results. The procedure’s primary goal is to restore a firm, elevated breast shape while maintaining natural proportions.
During the breast lift surgery, you will be under general anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Amde will make incisions based on the technique best suited to your needs, such as the anchor, lollipop, or periareolar approach. Excess breast skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipples are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and a surgical bra is applied to provide support. The entire procedure typically takes 2-3 hours.
Understanding Breast Lift Incision Patterns
Dr. Amde will work with you to determine the most appropriate incision pattern for your breast lift. These are the most common incision patterns used in mastopexy:

A breast lift not only restores a youthful breast contour but also enhances your overall figure by lifting and reshaping your breasts. This procedure improves symmetry, eliminates sagging, and creates a firmer, more elevated appearance. You’ll enjoy the freedom to wear clothing that fits and flatters, while embracing a renewed sense of self-assurance. With Dr. Amde’s expert care, the results look natural and complement your unique anatomy, helping you feel like the best version of yourself.
A breast lift may be right for you if your breasts sag, lack firmness, or have stretched skin and low-positioned nipples. Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good health who have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Amde will evaluate your breast tissue, skin quality, and goals to determine the best approach for achieving your desired results.
Recovery from a breast lift involves manageable discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which subside over time. Patients typically wear a surgical bra for added support during the healing process. Most return to light activities within a week and resume more strenuous tasks after 4-6 weeks. Following Dr. Amde’s aftercare instructions ensures optimal healing and lasting results. Your healing progress will be checked at post-operative visits, and Dr. Amde will remain available to offer extra support and guidance throughout your recovery.

While excess skin is removed, a breast lift focuses on reshaping rather than significantly reducing breast size. Patients wishing to decrease their breast size can benefit from combining a mastopexy with breast reduction.
Dr. Amde places incisions carefully to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars fade significantly with proper care.
Results are long-lasting, but natural aging and lifestyle factors may affect your breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.
Temporary changes in breast sensation are common but typically resolve as you heal. Working with an experienced surgeon like Dr. Amde ensures the best possible results.
As with any surgery, a breast lift comes with some risks, including infection, changes in sensation, or an unsatisfactory result. Working with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to minimize the risk of complications.
Light activities are allowed after one week, but breast lift patients will need to avoid strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks.
Many women retain the ability to breastfeed after a breast lift, but this can depend on the surgical technique used. Because pregnancy and breastfeeding can impact the results of a breast lift, many women choose to time this surgery after any pregnancies. Discuss any future plans to breastfeed with Dr. Amde.
