What Is A Breast Lift?
Numerous women experience changes in their breast shape and positioning over time, particularly post-childbirth or following weight loss. Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Jeffries, specializes in addressing the effects of gravity and restoring a more youthful contour for our patients with a personalized breast lift.
Referred to as a mastopexy, this surgery can enhance self-confidence and improve the fit of swimsuits or bras. While it won’t increase breast size, it can be paired with breast augmentation to lift the breasts and enhance volume by incorporating implants or fat transfer.
Breast Lift Procedure
At Copper Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, your breast lift will be performed by a skilled plastic surgeon. Incisions will be made around the areolas (the darker area surrounding the nipples) and, in some cases, vertically down the lower part of the breast. The procedure involves removing excess skin, repositioning the nipples, and reshaping the breast tissue. If needed, the areolas can also be resized and reshaped.
Each breast lift is customized based on your anatomy and your desired appearance. While the incisions do result in scarring, they will gradually fade, soften, and flatten over the course of a year.
The surgery typically lasts one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. After recovering from the anesthesia, you will be able to return home to recover with the care of family or friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, a breast augmentation isn’t necessary when undergoing a breast lift procedure. However, many women opt to have both procedures done at the same time to achieve their desired aesthetic outcome.
Yes. These procedures are often done separately.
The incisions for a breast lift are strategically positioned under the breast folds and within creases to minimize visibility of scars. Over time, these scars will fade. It’s recommended to shield your incisions from sun exposure for six months to a year to aid in scar fading.
Breast lift procedures are usually not covered by insurance providers.
You can expect long-lasting results from your breast lift as long as you maintain a stable weight and avoid future pregnancies.
