What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a truly transformative procedure that breathes new life into the breasts by enhancing their shape, contour, and position. By carefully removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues, this surgery not only restores a firmer, more youthful appearance but also elevates the nipples to a naturally flattering and balanced position on the chest. The result is a beautifully rejuvenated silhouette that can renew your confidence and help you feel more in harmony with your body.

Whether performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a comprehensive combination treatment like a mommy makeover, a breast lift offers personalized, life-changing results tailored to your unique aesthetic goals. With its ability to reverse the effects of aging, weight changes, or pregnancy, a breast lift empowers you to look and feel your best at any stage of life.

Saggy breasts? You have options.

It can be distressing to see your breasts looking saggy, flat, or aging. With a custom breast lift (also known as a mastopexy), we can restore the look of youthful, lifted breasts. The procedure varies from person to person, and Dr. Chamata uses the most advanced surgical techniques in breast lift surgery. Your procedure may involve repositioning the nipple structure to the center of the breast mound or reducing the size of the areolae if they are overly large. The end result is lovely, rounded, natural-looking breasts, restored to a youthful position on your chest wall.

Dr. Chamata is known for achieving refined, elegant results that appear natural and youthful. He is both a plastic surgeon and an artist, with an eye for physical balance and natural beauty. He delivers an unmatched level of attention to detail, with a focus on patient safety, and is known for his ability to create stunning results.

What Does a Breast Lift in Houston Entail?

Our state-of-the-art clinic is a certified outpatient surgery center in Houston. Breast lift surgeries are performed with the highest level of personalized care and privacy from top medical professionals. The basic steps are as follows:

  • Anesthesia is administered by a certified anesthesiologist.
  • The incisions are placed in carefully designed locations, which will reflect the degree of sagging to be corrected, as well as any need to relocate the nipple structure to be centered on the breast mound.
  • Your existing breast tissue is recontoured to create a rounded, youthful shape.
  • The nipples and areola structure are moved to the center of the reshaped breast mound.
  • Overly large areolas can be reduced in size to create the ideal youthful size and appearance.
  • Excess skin is removed to create a youthful lift, with the breasts now higher on the chest wall.
  • The incisions are closed with delicate, meticulously placed sutures, medical adhesives, or surgical tape.

How Should I Prepare for My Breast Lift?

Thorough preparation is key to achieving a seamless surgical journey and the best possible outcome. Dr. Chamata will offer personalized guidance during your pre-operative planning, addressing your unique needs and goals. This might involve:

  • Pausing specific medications or supplements
  • Setting up a support system for your recovery
  • Embracing healthy habits to promote healing

Taking the time to organize your home with recovery essentials and planning for any needed post-operative care will help ensure a smooth and comfortable transition through the healing process.

Recovery & Healing After a Breast Lift

After your breast lift in Houston, you may initially experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Within a week or two, you’ll be able to resume light activities, though heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

A surgical bra will support your breasts during the early stages of healing, and as swelling subsides, you’ll notice the full effect of your lifted, youthful contours. Dr. Chamata will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your recovery stays on track. With time, your incision lines will fade, leaving beautiful and natural results.

Caring for your new breasts

You will need to sleep on your back, avoid lifting your arms over your head, and take the time to heal thoroughly before returning to vigorous exercise, which is typically in about six weeks. You will probably want to go bra shopping, but you must wait to begin wearing underwire bras until Dr. Chamata gives you the go-ahead. To maintain the beauty and lift of your breasts, avoid excessive weight gain. If you plan on getting pregnant in the future, it is advised that you undergo the procedure after you finish growing your family, as another pregnancy can affect your new look.
