A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure where a small amount of breast tissue is removed, allowing the doctor to reshape and lift it. At Greer Plastic Surgery in Mentor, each breast lift procedure is different, just like each women’s breasts are different. Dr. Greer tailors each procedure to the patient’s needs and anatomy with the aim to always make them feel like the best versions of themselves. After the breasts are reshaped, they sit higher, are rounder, and look perkier, giving patients’ breasts — and confidence — a lift!

As Dr. Greer mentions in the video, lifts and augmentation are very similar, but there are differences between the procedures. Both procedures involve reshaping the nipple and centering it higher. However, both reduction and augmentation involve significant tissue removal, whereas the amount removed in a lift is much less. Typically, a reduction is considered to be a medical procedure, while a lift is considered to be solely cosmetic.
Breast lift surgery starts with anesthesia to ensure there’s no discomfort, and then our Mentor team creates an incision; its location, size, and shape will vary by patient. We then lift the underlying tissue and reshape it to improve shape and firmness, also repositioning your nipple and areola to recreate a youthful look. We remove excess skin to compensate for the loss of elasticity that occurs with aging, before tightening your skin back up and closing the incisions.
Recovery from the procedure varies from person to person. You’ll have to wear dressings and bandages initially, as well as a supporting bra. While recovering, you’ll have to avoid exercise and take things slowly with your body. Most women feel well enough to start working again after two weeks, with most swelling clearing up after about a month.
Breast lift costs can vary based on individual needs and body goals. At Greer Plastic Surgery, our mission is to help women, which is why we have financing options and programs to make the procedure affordable and accessible to patients seeking their ideal breasts. To learn more about total costs for a breast lift, book a consultation with us to get answers specifically about you and your individual body.
