About Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) reshapes and lifts sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue to create a more youthful, shapely appearance. Dr. Khan specializes in techniques that restore natural breast position while maintaining beautiful shape and proportion.

  • Anchor/Inverted-T Lift – Addresses significant sagging with maximum lifting and reshaping capability
  • Vertical/Lollipop Lift – Ideal for moderate sagging with reduced scarring while achieving excellent lift
  • Periareolar/Donut Lift – Minimal scarring approach for mild sagging and nipple repositioning
  • Crescent Lift – Subtle lift for minor sagging, often combined with breast augmentation
Lift Enhancement Options:
  • Breast Lift with Augmentation – Combines lifting with volume enhancement using implants
  • Breast Lift with Fat Transfer – Natural volume restoration using your own fat
  • Nipple and Areola Reshaping – Reduces enlarged areolas and repositions nipples
Key Benefits:
  • Restores youthful breast position and shape
  • Elevates nipples to a forward-facing position
  • Creates better breast projection and upper pole fullness

Breast Lift FAQ

The degree of lift achievable depends on your starting breast position, skin elasticity, and the surgical technique used. Patients with Grade 1 sagging (nipples at breast fold level) typically see 2-3 inches of lift, while those with Grade 3 sagging (nipples pointing downward) can achieve 4-5 inches of elevation. Dr. Khan uses the Regnault classification system to assess your degree of ptosis and predict realistic outcomes. During your consultation, she'll demonstrate potential results using sizing tools and show before-and-after photos of patients with similar anatomy. Most patients achieve nipples repositioned to point forward rather than downward, with improved upper pole fullness and a more youthful breast contour that's proportional to your body frame.
A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions and reshapes existing breast tissue without significantly reducing volume, although some patients may notice a slight decrease in overall breast size due to tissue tightening and the removal of stretched skin. The procedure focuses on lifting sagging breasts and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to create a more youthful appearance. If you desire additional volume or have lost breast fullness due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, Dr. Khan may recommend combining your breast lift with augmentation using implants or fat transfer. This combination approach, often called an "augmentation mastopexy," can restore both position and volume simultaneously, giving you fuller, lifted breasts that meet your aesthetic goals.
Breast lift results typically last 10-15 years or longer, with many patients maintaining their improved breast position for decades. The longevity depends on several factors including your age at surgery, skin quality, genetic factors, lifestyle habits, and whether you experience significant weight fluctuations or pregnancy after surgery. While natural aging and gravity will continue to affect your breasts over time, the improvement in breast position and shape from your mastopexy will remain significantly better than if you hadn't had the procedure. Maintaining a stable weight within 10-15 pounds, wearing supportive bras daily, protecting your skin from sun damage, and avoiding smoking can help extend your results. Some patients choose a secondary lift procedure after 15-20 years to maintain their desired appearance as part of natural aging.
Breast lift (mastopexy) addresses sagging and repositions drooping breasts to a more youthful position, while breast augmentation increases breast size using implants or fat transfer. A breast lift removes excess skin and reshapes existing tissue without significantly changing breast volume, focusing on correcting ptosis (sagging) and repositioning the nipple-areola complex. Breast augmentation adds volume to small or deflated breasts but doesn't address sagging issues. Many patients benefit from combining both procedures - this is called an "augmentation mastopexy" - which simultaneously lifts sagging breasts and increases volume. Dr. Khan will assess whether you need a lift, augmentation, or both based on your breast anatomy, degree of sagging, desired size, and aesthetic goals during your consultation.
Breast lift surgery in the Sugar Land and greater Houston area typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on the surgical technique required, facility fees, anesthesia costs, and whether additional procedures are combined. Factors affecting the cost include the degree of lift required (periareolar vs. anchor technique), operating room time, and postoperative care requirements.

Breast sagging is classified using the Regnault system into four grades. Grade 1 (mild ptosis) occurs when nipples are at the level of the breast fold - this can often be addressed with a periareolar or "donut" lift. Grade 2 (moderate ptosis) involves nipples below the breast fold but above the lowest breast contour, typically requiring a vertical or "lollipop" lift. Grade 3 (severe ptosis) means nipples point downward below the breast's lowest point, usually needing an anchor or "inverted-T" lift for optimal results. Pseudoptosis occurs when the nipples remain above the breast fold, but the breast tissue hangs below, often correctable with augmentation alone. Dr. Khan will assess your degree of sagging during consultation and recommend the appropriate technique. Even mild sagging can benefit from a lift if it bothers you, as the goal is your comfort and confidence in your appearance.
