What a Breast Lift Is

A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and elevates the breasts by removing excess skin and improving breast position. Many patients choose a lift when breast tissue has shifted lower on the chest or when the nipple position has changed over time.

A lift improves shape and position. If additional volume is also a goal, augmentation can be discussed during consultation.

What a Breast Lift Can Improve

  • Elevated breast position

  • Firmer, more youthful contour

  • Improved nipple position

  • Improved shape and symmetry

  • Better fit in bras and clothing

  • Enhanced upper-breast contour (depending on anatomy)

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Notice sagging or a “lower” breast position

  • Want improved shape without necessarily increasing size

  • Are in good health with stable weight

  • Have realistic expectations about scarring and healing

Procedure Overview

    • Customized lift technique selected for your anatomy

Breast Lift FAQs

Does a lift make breasts smaller?

A lift mainly changes position and shape. Volume changes depend on anatomy and technique.

Can a lift be combined with implants?

Yes. Combining procedures can be appropriate when both lift and added fullness are desired.

Will scars be visible?

Incisions are necessary. Dr. Rockwell plans incision placement carefully and provides scar-care guidance.

How long do results last?

Results are long-lasting, though aging, weight change, and pregnancy can affect breast shape over time.
