Breast Lift
Dr. Lee Gibstein is a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience in cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery. His approach to breast surgery is highly personalized, balancing breast shape, breast volume, and the desired nipple position to create a natural, elegant result.
Every breast lift procedure is performed with precision, whether as a stand-alone breast surgery or combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction to achieve your aesthetic goals. Patients choose Dr. Gibstein for his attention to detail, emphasis on patient safety, and results that restore confidence while minimizing breast lift scars.
A breast lift reshapes the breast tissue and repositions the nipple-areolar complex to a more natural, youthful level on the breast mound. The procedure corrects breasts sagging due to loss of skin elasticity, weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.

Expect a more youthful breast contour, improved shape, and higher nipple position, all while preserving natural proportions.
Over time, breasts change. Factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and significant weight loss can lead to sagging breasts, stretched breast skin, and a loss of youthful shape. A breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape the breast tissue, remove excess skin, and restore a more youthful, uplifted appearance.

Breast lift cost varies depending on the breast lift technique, surgical complexity, and whether additional procedures such as breast augmentation or breast reduction are performed. A detailed estimate is provided at the consultation.
Temporary changes in breast sensation are common, but sensation usually returns as healing progresses. Some patients may experience partial or total loss of sensation.
A breast lift may be possible after breast cancer treatment or reconstructive surgery, but requires a thorough review of your medical and breast treatment history, family history, and prior procedures.
Techniques vary from a lollipop lift to an anchor incision, depending on the amount of excess skin and breast ptosis. Dr. Gibstein tailors the approach for each patient.
