Why Consider a Breast Lift?

Sagging breasts are common after pregnancy and breastfeeding, or can occur as a result of aging. Many women visit us for breast lift surgery because they want their breasts to look the way they did when they were younger or before they had children. Weight loss can also cause a loss in breast volume that leads to drooping breasts.

You might consider a breast lift for many different reasons, including:

• Your breasts have begun to sag over time
• Your breasts become droopy after pregnancy or breastfeeding
• You desire perkier breasts
• You desire a better breast contour and profile

Breast Lift Candidates

If you’re concerned with breast sagging and would also like to have larger breasts, you may be a good candidate for a breast augmentation with lift, which adds breast implants to your breast lift. Many women include a breast lift, either with or without breast implants, in a mommy makeover. Please note that to be considered as a candidate for breast lift surgery, you must have a BMI of 40 or less.

Breast Lift without Implants

Increase Volume and Lift with our Breast Lift Autoaugmentation Technique

Dr. Bob Basu has pioneered an advanced breast lift procedure, breast lift auto-augmentation, which can give patients lift and volume without breast implants.

How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost in Houston?

The cost of a breast lift varies based on the approach Dr. Basu uses and additional factors, such as whether implants are included. Your total associated costs will include facility fees, anesthesia-related charges and your pre-op and post-op appointments.

At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer frequent special promotions for breast enhancement procedures. We also connect women with plastic surgery financing options to make their breast lift surgery even more affordable.

Your Breast Lift Options

Once you’ve made the decision to move forward with a breast lift, you’ll have a few options to consider. Dr. Basu provides assistance in choosing the right approach so you can obtain your ideal results.

Many women who have a mastopexy also wish to have their areolas resized to match their new breast shape. Because breast sagging stretches the skin, areolas may become enlarged. Dr. Basu can resize the areolas and reposition the nipples to provide the most natural-looking results.

Dr. Basu specializes in the internal bra technique for women who may not have adequate natural tissue support. During your consultation, Dr. Basu will help you determine if the internal bra technique is right for you.

Your Breast Lift Surgery

During your initial one-on-one consultation with Dr. Basu, you will discuss the aesthetic goals you have for your body and the ways Dr. Basu can help you reach them. He’ll explain the procedural details as well as address any questions or concerns you may have. He’ll also provide you with detailed post-operative instructions so you know what to expect during your recovery.

Dr. Basu will perform your procedure in his on-site Beleza Surgery Center – a state-of-the-art Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). A breast lift is typically and outpatient procedure and performed under general anesthesia. At Basu Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, we put patient safety first and only work with board certified MD anesthesiologists.

Breast Lift Incisions

Breast lifts typically require the use of an areola incision, lollipop incision, or anchor incision. The placement of the incision is determined by the amount that your breasts sag. Women with only minor sagging will have a circular incision made around the areola. Others will have an incision around the areola and down the breast (a lollipop breast lift) or include a third incision in the inframmary fold, the crease under the breasts (an anchor breast lift.) 

During your breast lift surgery, these incisions allow the skin to be tightened providing the lift needed to raise the position of the breast. Dr. Basu will remove any excess skin and reshape the breast tissue for a firmer, perkier breast shape and profile.

Your Breast Lift Recovery & Results

Following your breast lift, you should notice an immediate difference in your breast appearance, though the final results will take time to develop. You should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks as your body recovers.

After a breast lift, the breasts will sit at a higher position on the chest, and typically feel firmer and look more youthful.

Combining Breast Lift with Other Procedures

It is common to experience loss of volume and elasticity with age, after extensive weight loss, or following pregnancy and breastfeeding. Very often, women come to us wanting to both lift and increase the size of their breasts for one of these reasons. This can be done with a combination of breast procedures: a breast augmentation with lift. 

A breast lift or breast lift with implants is also frequently incorporated in mommy makeover, a set of surgeries to restore a woman’s body after the changes of motherhood. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Lift

What causes saggy breasts?

Women commonly experience sagging breasts and loss of skin elasticity naturally over time. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuation, and genetics can all contribute to this change in breast shape, size and elasticity of the supporting skin. A breast lift can help to address these concerns and restore a more youthful appearance and feel to your breasts.

How can I lift my sagging breasts naturally?

While there is no natural method that can provide the same level of lift as a breast lift surgery, there are a few everyday habits that can help maintain the youth and beauty of your breasts. It’s important to wear the right bra, nurture your skin with skincare and proper nutrition, and exercise your chest. Read more in our blog: Natural Ways To Perk Your Breasts.

How much does cup size decrease with a breast lift?

Your final cup size after a breast can vary depending on where you’re starting and the technique used during surgery. It is common for there to be a slight decrease in cup size due to the removal of excess skin and tissue. We want to help you reach your unique goals though, so during your consultation, Dr. Basu can go over other breast procedures that can be combined with a breast lift to change your cup size, like a breast lift with implants or breast reduction.

Will breasts sag again after a breast lift surgery?

While a breast lift can provide long-lasting results, the skin can naturally relax over time due to aging and effects of gravity. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle as significant weight fluctuations could cause sagging. Dr. Basu can provide guidance on how to maintain your results in your unique lifestyle.
