Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Overview


A breast lift, or mastopexy, restores youthful shape and position to breasts that have sagged due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. While it doesn’t add volume, a breast lift can dramatically improve the appearance of the chest by tightening skin, reshaping breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areolar complex. At Kapital Surgery Center in Miami, we offer several lift techniques tailored to your anatomy and goals—delivering natural, elegant results with minimal scarring.

How It Works

Excess skin is removed, and internal breast tissue is reshaped for firmness and lift. The nipples are elevated to a more centered, youthful height. Depending on your degree of sagging (ptosis), your surgeon may use a crescent, lollipop, or anchor-shaped incision pattern.

Ideal Candidates

  • Breasts that sag or droop
  • Nipples pointing downward or below the breast crease
  • Loss of breast shape or volume after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Good skin quality and realistic expectations

Benefits

  • Restores natural firmness and breast projection
  • Elevates the nipple to a youthful position
  • Improved appearance in bras, swimwear, and clothing
  • Can be combined with implants or reduction for added volume or reshaping

Recovery

Most patients return to work within 7–10 days. You’ll wear a surgical bra and avoid upper-body exercise for 4–6 weeks. Bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness are expected and typically subside in a few weeks. Scars will fade over time and can be minimized with post-op care.
