Counteract sagging from pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging. Restore breast position for a perkier, younger-looking contour.
Over time, many women notice that their breasts begin to sag. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging all take their toll. Breast lift surgery by double board-certified plastic surgeon Nathan Eberle, M.D., D.D.S., F.A.C.S. counteracts these effects by restoring breast position for women in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County at Weston Center for Plastic Surgery.
After mastopexy, the breasts look perkier and sit higher on the chest. The procedure lifts and firms sagging tissue, and may reduce enlarged areolas. Many patients combine a lift with implants to restore volume and enhance firmness longer.
With or without implants, learn about surgery time, recovery, and what makes your experience at our practice different.
Many women suffer from premature sagging, particularly after pregnancy and childbirth, and some naturally have sagging breasts from puberty. Breast lift surgery improves appearance and reduces the look of sagging that can make you appear older than you are. It restores self-esteem with a firmer, higher contour.
If your breasts have lost volume or gravity has stretched the skin so they sag, a breast lift may be right for you. Good candidates are healthy adults in good overall health. The procedure is often combined with implants for enlargement when volume loss is part of the concern.
A breast lift requires general anesthesia and usually takes between two and three hours. Surgery is longer when combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction.
During the procedure, excess skin is trimmed away and the breasts are lifted to a higher position on the chest. Natural tissue is sculpted into perkier, younger-looking contours.
Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for up to two months. A surgical bra or compression garment supports the chest during healing. Tenderness, soreness, bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness or tightness around incisions are common.
Most patients take one to two weeks off from work. Rest, limited activity, and a surgical bra support healing. Discomfort is managed with medication prescribed by Dr. Eberle.
Gradual return to light daily activities. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting remain off limits until cleared. Swelling continues to improve.
Final shape and position continue to refine over months. Following post-operative instructions closely supports a smooth recovery and lasting results.
Actual patients. Individual results may vary.
The higher the degree of sagging, the more extensive the surgical work and the cost. Breast lifts are often performed with augmentation or reduction in the same session, which tends to be less expensive than separate surgeries. Financing is available.
Augmentation mastopexy adds volume while lifting. Reduction mastopexy addresses both size and position. Dr. Eberle will recommend the approach that matches your anatomy and goals at consultation.
