Breast Lift

Dropping, sagging, and lopsided breasts can affect the way you feel about your appearance. A breast lift by Dr. Ken Smart can enhance the perkiness and contours of your breasts. Learn how Dr. Smart has helped patients in Frisco, Plano, TX, and throughout North Texas through breast lift surgery...

How a Breast Lift Works

Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that lifts the breast tissue and nipple, restoring a more youthful appearance. Excess skin is removed to rejuvenate the shape of the breasts. The areola can also be reduced in size during a mastopexy.

Since the procedure targets excess skin rather than breast tissue, the volume of the breast is not reduced following surgery. However, removing this excess skin may make the patient's breasts appear fuller and rounder.

Breast Lift Surgery Overview

A breast lift may be what you need to address drooping, sagging, and asymmetry of the breasts. Dr. Smart is a board-certified plastic surgeon who will tailor treatment to your cosmetic goals. He and his team can answer any questions you may have about the breast lift procedure.

Ideal Candidates Who Should Undergo a Mastopexy?

/

Women who have developed ptosis (drooping breasts) and have good skin quality are candidates for mastopexy. Ideally, patients should be non-smokers in good overall health.

Breast Lift vs Breast Reduction

While breast lift and breast reduction are similar in some ways, a plastic surgeon may recommend one over the other. Women with very large breasts that cause back and shoulder pain may be better suited for a breast reduction rather than a lift. It is also possible to combine a breast reduction with a lift to achieve improved size and contours.

Is Plastic Surgery Right for You?

A Frisco Patient's Story

"If I could give 6+ stars I would. Dr. Smart and his entire staff are amazing to say the least. I had been researching plastic surgeons for a MMO for years (10 in fact) and always ended coming back to Dr. Smart.

So, at the end of 2022 I went in for a consultation. They made me feel so comfortable, answered all my questions and by the end I was more excited than hesitant, so much so that I scheduled my surgery before I left the office...The nurses that took care of me were phenomenal and left me wanting for nothing...

I knew when I finally did this I would say to myself “Why didn’t you do this sooner?” And, I said exactly that.

If you are looking to make a small or big change… If you want a doctor and staff that are caring, kind and genuinely want the best results for you… If you are hesitating like I was…DON’T… Dr. Ken Smart and his entire Staff are the practice for you!!!"

The Breast Lift Procedure

Do you want to do something about sagging or lopsided breasts?

A breast lift may be the ideal option.

Here's what patients can expect during the treatment process:

Do you want to do something about sagging or lopsided breasts?

A breast lift may be the ideal option.

Consultation and Planning

Dr. Smart will discuss what you would like to change about your breasts, and determine if it is purely an issue of drooping or if there is also an issue with breast volume. Several measurements of your breasts are taken that will aid in planning your breast lift surgery, including which incision method will be used.

Administering Anesthesia

Dr. Smart typically uses general anesthesia for breast lift procedures. Your surgery is performed in a fully accredited outpatient surgery center located conveniently in Dr. Smart's professional building.

Surgical Incisions

After making incisions on the breast, Dr. Smart removes the excess skin in order to improve the shape and contour of the breast. If combined with a reduction, excess breast tissue can also be removed. If combined with augmentation, implants are placed.

Completing the Procedure

After all necessary refinements are made to the skin and other tissues of the breast, sutures are placed. You will be sent home in a bra-like compression garment that is easily concealed under your clothes and is worn for one to three weeks. You will need someone to drive you and be with you for the next 24 hours.

Can I Breastfeed after a Breast Lift?

/

Yes. However, if you are planning on having more children and breastfeeding in the future, a breast lift should be delayed. Pregnancy and breast feeding can reverse the results achieved through mastopexy.

Recovering from Breast Lift Surgery

Post-Op Care

Most patients are able to return to work in about a week. Pain is easily controlled with oral pain medication. Most patients can return to light exercise in three to four weeks, and full activity in six weeks. There will be four to five follow-up visits to our Frisco, TX, practice to monitor your recovery.

How Long Do Results Last?

The results of a breast lift can last for many years, but it's important to note that cosmetic enhancements are never permanent. With time, gravity will take its toll and your breasts will droop again. Other factors can lead to recurrence as well. These include weight loss and weight gain, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.

Even though the results won't last forever, Dr. Smart and his team can offer aftercare tips that can help you prolong the benefits of your breast lift.

A Breast Lift Patient's Journey

"I cannot express enough how amazing Dr. Smart and his team are. I lost over 100lbs and needed my loose skin removed. I had an upper and lower body lift, arms, and breast lift. I had to overnight after my surgery and the nurses took such great care of me. They are always so professional and kind.

Dr. Smart’s work is absolutely amazing. He performed a miracle on my body and I couldn’t be happier with the results. There are also constant follow up visits to make sure everything is healing right, and when I needed to ask some questions, I was able to email the nurse and she got back to me right away.

This is the best establishment, extremely clean, with the most professional and kind people. If you are planning to have a body transforming surgery, look no further. Dr. Smart is your guy. Thank you again. Dr. Smart and team!"

Mommy Makeover Procedures

When plastic surgeons perform mommy makeovers, they target the breasts, abdomen, and other parts of the body affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. Breast lift surgery is a common part of many post-pregnancy procedures that can help mothers feel confident about their bodies. If you are interested in exploring this plastic surgery option, give us a call to book a consultation:

Breast Lift with Implants

Lift vs. Enlargement

During breast augmentation, a plastic surgeon increases your cup size using breast implants. During a breast lift, the goal is to reduce sagging and improve contours, but the volume of the breast remains essentially the same.

Why Combine Surgeries?

Some patients have drooping breasts that they would also like to enlarge. Placing breast implants allows us to augment the existing breast tissue while tightening the skin.

If both a breast augmentation and lift is what you need to truly achieve your cosmetic goals, Dr. Smart can combine these techniques into a single procedure.

Dr. Smart's Approach to Breast Augmentation Optimizing Your Results When Combining Breast Procedures

Dr. Smart can combine your breast lift with breast augmentation for stunning results. Whether you're a mother who wants to give her post-pregnancy body a touch-up, you've lost a large amount of weight, or if you simply just want to feel better about your appearance, you may be a candidate. Contact our friendly Frisco, TX, team to learn about your options.
