The Vertical Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Technique

The vertical breast lift is a fantastic solution for women with mild to moderate sagging, designed to restore a youthful, perky profile. At Esprit® Cosmetic Surgeons in Portland, Dr. Connall tailors your lift to your unique anatomy and beauty goals, ensuring you leave our office feeling confident and rejuvenated. 

Using a precise vertical “keyhole” incision, we sculpt the deeper breast tissue for natural contour enhancement. The areola is gently repositioned higher, and the skin is meticulously closed around it, creating the signature “lollipop” scar that discreetly follows the natural curves of your breast. Occasionally, a small horizontal scar along the breast fold is added to smooth the closure even further—all designed to blend seamlessly with your natural lines. 

Vertical breast reduction

With a vertical breast lift the areola is slid into a higher position and the skin is sutured closed leaving a scar around the areolar and down the center of the breast.

This technique leaves the breasts very high and perky, and the bases of the breasts are very tight and flat immediately after surgery. Within a few weeks of surgery, the breasts soften and begin to assume a beautiful appearance. Experience the promise of a lifted, revitalized silhouette that can transform not just your body, but your whole outlook. Let Dr. Connall and our dedicated team at Esprit® Cosmetic Surgeons help you take the next step toward a more youthful you!
