Restore Perkiness, Shape & Confidence with Dr. K
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts, restoring them to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position. It often includes repositioning the nipple-areolar complex and reducing the areolar diameter, when needed.
This transformative procedure is ideal for women whose breasts have lost firmness and volume due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Dr. K personalizes every breast lift to your anatomy and expectations, ensuring harmony, proportion, and long-lasting satisfaction.
No one can defy gravity forever. Breast sagging—also known as ptosis—can occur due to:
Mastopexy repositions the breast mound and nipple-areolar complex back to their optimal, youthful location.
You may consider a breast lift if your breasts appear:
Dr. K’s approach focuses on elevating and reshaping the breast tissue, moving the nipple to a natural, elevated position, and restoring upper pole fullness with or without an implant.
For mild sagging and volume loss in the upper pole, breast augmentation alone may create a lifting effect, minimizing the need for additional scarring.
Ideal for mild nipple descent and areolar widening. The scar is limited to around the areola, with subtle reshaping and lifting—excellent for young women after minor changes.
This method includes a circular scar around the areola and a vertical line to the inframammary fold. It’s best for moderate ptosis and allows for precise tissue reshaping.
Used for severe sagging. Scars encircle the areola, run vertically down, and horizontally under the breast fold. This comprehensive technique maximizes lifting and contour refinement.
The extent of breast sagging directly determines the surgical scar. While minimal lifts require only peri-areolar incisions, more pronounced ptosis necessitates vertical or anchor-pattern scars.
Dr. K employs advanced scar management techniques and personalized aftercare to optimize healing and minimize visibility.
A breast lift can be seamlessly integrated into combination surgeries, including:
Dr. K’s technique integrates a multimodal pain management protocol, often eliminating the need for narcotic medications. Swelling generally resolves in 4–6 weeks.
Breast ptosis can be visually assessed using:
A BK angle ≥90° postoperatively indicates a successful breast lift, while visual improvements can also be predicted preoperatively using these parameters.
For mild breast descent in younger patients, ultrasound- or vibration-assisted liposuction can offer modest lifting by:
This is ideal for post-pregnancy, post-lactation, or post-weight-loss changes, especially for those who wish to avoid scars.
A Lift = A Reduction
Truth: Breast lifts reshape and elevate but do not significantly reduce volume unless combined with reduction.
A Lift Always Requires Implants
Truth: Implants are optional. They are only needed if volume enhancement is desired.
