What is Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast Lift Surgery is an operation that lifts the breasts and creates a firmer, more youthful appearance. The procedure is typically performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who tightens and removes excess outer tissue. The outcome of the treatment is a reposition of the areola and nipple to a higher position on the chest wall.
There is no augmenting of the breast tissue in a typical breast lift. Therefore the size remains the same. Breast Lift Surgery is usually an outpatient procedure that typically lasts three hours.

Breast Lift Techniques at Nazarian Plastic Surgery
Nazarian Plastic Surgery offers four Breast Lift techniques:
Donut Lift: The Donut Lift, also known as the Benelli lift, creates a circular incision around the areola and positions the nipple and areola higher on the breast. This procedure is best suited for mild to moderate sagging.
Lollipop Lift: Ideal for moderate breast sagging, the Lollipop Lift consists of a circular incision around the areola and a straight incision from the lower edge of the areola to the crease of the breast.
Anchor Lift: For severe breast sagging, the Anchor Lift is the best option.Only slightly different from the Lollipop Lift, this technique includes a circular incision around the areola, a straight incision from the lower edge of the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the inferior breast crease.
BodyTite: BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the breast skin. This technique results in a scarless minimal lift and decreases the cup size of breast tissue.

“I had surgery last month with Dr. Nazarian and I can't recommend her enough! She's an incredibly skilled surgeon but also super down to earth and makes you feel completely at ease. Her staff was very kind and helpful when it came to answering all my questions. I would absolutely go back there again. Definitely worth the trip to Beverly Hills!”

According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of a Breast Lift Surgery is $5012. However, this cost varies based on the plastic surgeon’s experience, type of procedure, and office locations.
Although Breast Lift Surgery typically lasts for about 10-15 years, various factors determine the need for surgical revision. Weight fluctuations, smoking, pregnancy, nursing, and the natural aging process are all factors that may lessen the time that results will last.
Due to the invasiveness of Breast Lift Surgery, your surgeon will provide anesthesia and pain medications due relieve pain. You may also be prescribed pain medications after your procedure.
During Breast Lift Surgery, the nipple and areola are positioned upward with breast and soft tissue. While the breast tissue and the nipple area are shifted higher, the entire mound gets elevated without cutting off.
Maintaining a good posture, a healthy diet, exercise, correctly fitted support bras, and hydration improves breast appearance. However, you cannot completely restore the original breast shape naturally.
Although Breast Lift Surgery has few side effects, patients experience: discomfort, swelling, bruising, and scarring. A breast lift carries the same risks of bleeding, infection, and adverse anesthetic reactions as any major surgery.
It is impossible to say without seeing you in person or at least a photo. In general, if your nipples rest at or below the inframammary fold, which is the crease under the breast, then you are probably going to need a breast lift. If the nipples hover somewhere in the lower half of the breast, it is possible that you could get away with a small implant. My best advice would be for you to schedule a consultation and come in to our Beverly Hills office to be assessed.
I always think it’s best to push off the breast lift until you are done having children as pregnancy and breastfeeding are going to re-stretch the skin and tissues of the breast. But it really depends on how miserable you are right now. As long as you are aware that you may need a “touch up” to your breast lift after you are done having kids, then there is no reason not to have it done now if you’d like.
I’ve never had one so I can’t speak from personal experience, but my breast lift patients are always surprised at just how easy the recovery actually is. You will be restricted in your movements for a few weeks. But not in a “lay on the couch” kind of way. You simply have to be cautious about your arm movements. The hardest part for many is sleeping on their back for the first week.
Every woman is wary of the idea of scars on the breast. They are such a crucial part of our sexuality. But the incisions on the breast really do heal well. I generally find that my breast lift patients feel so good about how great their new lifted breasts look that they don’t even think about the scars. They are super excited to have their nipples pointing forward under a tank top! And I have never heard a husband or boyfriend complain. In case the scars are less than ideal, we have all the lasers to help!
Yes, at Nazarian Plastic Surgery and Spa26 we offer financing through third-party providers, Care Credit and LendingUSA, both of which offer our patients 0% interest for up to 6 months!
At first, things are going to feel off. Your nipples may be super sensitive and a bit numb. It’s a weird combination. But as the breasts continue to heal, everything should return to normal. This may take 6 months or more, however, so be patient.
At Nazarian Plastic Surgery, we have built a state of the art certified surgical center located right in our office to ensure patients have the most comfortable experience while undergoing any surgical procedures.
