Techniques named for breast lift: TRIPLE-Bra Breast Lift, Vectra Imaging System, Short Scar Breast Lift.
While a breast lift primarily addresses sagging skin, it can be combined with breast augmentation to restore volume and achieve a fuller, more lifted appearance
a breast lift can give a boost to your self-confidence and make swimsuits or bras fit better. The surgery will not increase breast size, but it can be combined with breast augmentation
Some women choose to combine their breast augmentation with breast lift surgery for enhanced volume and lift
Because breast lifts are outpatient surgeries, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
While a breast lift does not have to be a part of breast reduction surgery, it is often incorporated and can help position the breasts at a more desirable height on the chest.
Myth number two, breast lifts always result in prominent visible scars. While scars are inevitable, modern techniques and meticulous closure along with advanced scar management protocols mean they can fade significantly and be strategically placed for discretion
Your surgeon will use the Vectra Imaging System for visualization to give you an idea of what you can expect to look like after a breast lift.
Other women have their desired breast volume, but want to have the breasts reshaped and nipples more centralized, which can be done with a breast lift
If you have sagging breasts but are generally happy with their volume, you are probably better served by a breast lift.
Because breast lift surgery lifts and repositions the breasts, it naturally repositions the nipples as well
Breast augmentation does not correct severely drooping breast. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted, Dr. Lee may recommend a breast lift together with implants.
Typically the breast lift technique involves incisions that follow your breasts natural contour. The incisions encircle the areola, extend vertically down the breast and may extend horizontally along the crease underneath the breast.
Breast reductions can be performed in conjunction with a breast lift or fat grafting with use of liposuction to create the outcome you are hoping to achieve.
Although a breast lift does improve breast shape and position, it does not restore lost volume.
Dr. Hetal Fichadia offers advanced breast lift techniques, including auto augmentation and fat transfer, as well as the use of internal soft tissue support, such as Galaflex mesh
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy , is a procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures - most commonly a tummy tuck , a breast lift or breast augmentation , and liposuction - in one surgical session
Breast lift surgeries have evolved significantly, showcasing various techniques to meet patients' needs safely
The results of a breast lift can remain for many years, but factors such as aging, weight changes, and lifestyle can affect longevity
The procedure is called the TRIPLE-Bra Breast Lift . It uses a novel technique to secure the fold beneath the breast
a Triple-Bra Breast Lift creates noticeably more fullness than a traditional "skin only" breast lift
Breast Lift generally runs $7,000–$14,000 per procedure, and each Portland clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Portland clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Portland providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Portland providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
The simplest test is where your nipple sits relative to the fold beneath your breast. If it sits at or below that fold, a lift is what repositions it, and implants alone will not fix that. If your breasts sit high enough but have lost fullness at the top, implants restore that volume. Many patients want both, which is a combined augmentation with mastopexy, a longer operation with a slightly higher revision rate but a single recovery.
Scars depend on how much lifting is needed. A minor lift may need only a scar around the areola. Moderate lifting adds a vertical line from the areola to the fold, called a lollipop. Significant lifting adds a horizontal scar along the fold, called an anchor. Scars are permanent, red for several months, and typically fade to pale lines over one to two years. Any surgeon offering a significant lift with no scars is describing something else.
Most patients hold results for ten years or more, but skin continues aging and gravity does not stop. Weight fluctuation and subsequent pregnancy are the two things that most reliably undo a lift, which is why surgeons generally advise finishing childbearing first. Wearing good support and maintaining stable weight extends the result meaningfully.
Many patients can, though a lift carries somewhat more risk to milk ducts and nipple sensation than augmentation does, because the nipple is repositioned. If future breastfeeding matters to you, say so clearly at consultation, since technique choices can preserve more of the ductal system. And if you plan to have children soon, waiting is generally the better decision anyway.
Almost never as a cosmetic lift. Breast reduction, which removes tissue as well as lifting, is sometimes covered when documented neck, back, or shoulder symptoms meet a carrier's criteria. If you have both sagging and significant volume causing physical symptoms, ask the surgeon's office to explore reduction coverage rather than assuming the whole thing is out of pocket.
