When the skin and tissue on the breast sags, the only solution to remove excess skin is plastic surgery. Exercise, skin creams and other treatments can help improve the firmness of skin over time, but they will not restore the skin to its youthful tightness. Mastopexy using a surgical excision of the skin physically lifts the breast tissue to create elevated, youthful breasts. This procedure can be performed with or without breast augmentation, based on the patient’s preferences.
Dr. Chaudhry is a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic breast surgery. He uses advanced techniques to discreetly hide incisions and scars while improving the shape and appearance of the breasts. Dr. O.C.’s breast lift procedure can rejuvenate sagging breasts after pregnancy, weight loss or normal aging. By elevating the breasts and removing excess skin, the breasts will appear larger and more projected. However, many women wish to add volume to their breasts and opt to have an augmentation performed with their mastopexy procedure. Augmentation with a breast lift can be accomplished with either breast implants or a natural breast augmentation with a fat transfer. Dr. Chaudhry offers both procedures that can be performed in tandem with a mastopexy.
If you have drooping breast tissue, it can change your feminine curves and confidence. To restore firmer breasts, consider the benefits of lift procedures. Breast lift surgery is often combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck for a “Mommy Makeover” or ab augmentation for larger, youthful breasts.

A good candidate for a breast lift typically experiences sagging or drooping breasts due to aging, weight fluctuations, or post-pregnancy changes. You should have sufficient healthy tissue that can be reshaped to restore a more youthful contour. During your consultation, our surgeon will evaluate your overall health, breast tissue quality, and aesthetic goals to determine if a breast lift is the right option for you.
Incisions for a breast lift are strategically placed—often around the areola and along the natural curves of the breast—to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars typically fade and become well-concealed within your natural contours. Your surgeon will discuss incision placement in detail to ensure the best cosmetic outcome.
Recovery times vary among individuals. Most patients can return to light activities within one to two weeks, while full recovery and a return to more strenuous activities generally occur within four to six weeks. Your surgeon will provide personalized post-operative instructions to promote optimal healing and comfort during your recovery.
A breast lift primarily elevates and reshapes the breasts to restore a youthful contour rather than significantly changing their size. While the repositioning of tissue can subtly affect shape, the procedure is not designed to increase volume. If additional volume enhancement is desired, your surgeon might recommend combining the lift with augmentation.

Yes. Many patients choose to combine a breast lift with augmentation or reduction to achieve a more comprehensive transformation. Combining procedures can help tailor the results to your unique body proportions and aesthetic goals. Your surgeon will discuss the benefits and considerations of any combination during your consultation.
After a breast lift, post-operative care is crucial for a smooth recovery. This typically includes wearing a supportive surgical bra, managing discomfort with prescribed medications, and adhering to activity restrictions. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and address any concerns promptly.
As with any surgery, a breast lift carries potential risks, including infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry. A thorough preoperative evaluation and strict adherence to post-operative care guidelines can help minimize these risks. Your surgeon will review all potential complications with you so that you can make an informed decision.
The results of a breast lift can be long-lasting; however, factors such as aging, gravity, and weight fluctuations can influence the longevity of the outcome. Many patients enjoy years of improved breast contour, and maintaining a stable weight along with a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the effects of the procedure.
