What Is a Breast Lift?
Childbirth, nursing, gravity, and weight loss can all change the shape and position of your breasts over time. As skin loses its elasticity, your natural contours may begin to sag. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is the ideal procedure to restore a youthful, elevated look by tightening the skin and repositioning the breast tissue. At Esprit® Cosmetic Surgeons, we empower women in Portland to reclaim their youthful confidence by creating beautifully lifted, natural-looking breasts.
Breast Lift Candidates
The best candidates for a breast lift are healthy women who have realistic expectations about the results. Many women choose mastopexy after pregnancy and nursing, when stretched skin and reduced volume have altered their natural shape. Others seek a lift after significant weight loss or even due to inherent breast ptosis. No matter the cause, a well-performed breast lift can rejuvenate your appearance, restoring fullness and symmetry for a truly enhanced look that feels as good as it looks.
Breast Lift Before and Afters
Breast Lift Techniques Are Tailored To Your Needs
Dr. Connall brings a wealth of experience to every breast lift procedure, customizing the technique to match your unique anatomy and beauty goals. Whether you need a simple areolar mastopexy (an incision around the areola only), a vertical mastopexy (adding a short vertical incision), or a full inverted‑T mastopexy (with an incision around the areola, vertically, and along the lower breast fold), we tailor the approach to suit the severity of sagging and the look you desire. For more detailed information on each technique, please see the corresponding sections.
Breast Lift Combined With Breast Augmentation
If you dream of both a lifted and fuller breast, a combined breast lift and augmentation procedure might be the perfect choice. This combined approach not only elevates and reshapes your breasts but also adds volume and upper-breast fullness with implants. Every mastopexy technique can be seamlessly paired with augmentation to achieve the balanced, youthful appearance you envision.
Breast Lift Combined with Fat Grafting
For those desiring enhanced upper-breast fullness without the significant size increase that implants can bring, fat grafting is an exciting option. In this approach, once the breast lift (mastopexy) is completed, we perform liposuction to gently harvest fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. The carefully processed fat is then injected in tiny, precise passes into the upper part of your breasts, creating natural fullness and improved cleavage without drastically altering your size. As a leading fat grafting surgeon, Dr. Connall has helped many patients achieve beautifully subtle, natural-looking results that boost both confidence and comfort.
