Breast Lift

A breast lift restores a perkier, more youthful shape to breasts that have started to sag or droop.

Elevate Your Look With a Breast Lift

Every stage of life—whether it's aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy—can leave its mark on the breasts, causing the skin to stretch and volume to shift downward. A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions and reshapes the breasts for a refreshed, lifted appearance. At pēkomd®, our board-certified providers take a patient-first, honest approach to help each person reach their aesthetic goals without unnecessary treatments. By blending surgical expertise, advanced technology, and genuine care, we tailor every procedure to suit your body and lifestyle. Schedule a consultation at pēkomd® to find out how a breast lift can help you feel renewed and confident in your daily life.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, also called mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. Over time, factors like gravity, pregnancy, and weight changes can cause the breasts to lose their youthful position, leaving them looking deflated or elongated. A breast lift repositions the nipple-areolar complex, elevates breast tissue, and reshapes the contours for a perkier silhouette.

At pēkomd®, we understand that each woman's anatomy and goals are unique. That's why our board-certified surgeons customize every breast lift to reflect your personal preferences—whether you want a dramatic change or a subtle lift. The end result should be balanced, natural-looking, and in harmony with your overall figure.

Breast Lift Benefits

A breast lift can provide a host of advantages, including:

Elevated, more youthful breast position
Improved breast shape and projection
Enhanced symmetry between both breasts
Reduced sagging and loose skin
Refreshed, confident appearance
Repositioned nipple-areolar complex
Natural-looking, personalized results

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

Dr. Fourman and his whole team have always made me feel not judged and welcomed. They are helpful, knowledgeable, informative and take time to discuss my health.

Make you feel like your best self.

Every experience I’ve had at pēkomd® has been amazing. The staff and providers truly take the time to make you feel like your best self. Dr. Koltz takes the time to get to know his patients and listens to their needs, concerns and dreams. I would absolutely recommend giving them a call and taking the steps to feeling the best version of yourself!

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure. The follow-up care has been excellent as well, and I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend!!

It’s like meeting with a friend at every consult.

Dr Koltz is one in a million. He sits down and listens to every concern. It’s like meeting with a friend at every consult. He has worked miracles for me on correcting another local surgeon mistake. He is very skilled and knowledgeable in profession. Dr Koltz and his staff treat you like family. I love them and you will too! For me there is no other choice!

What to Expect During Your Breast Lift Procedure at pēkomd®

Before scheduling surgery, you'll meet with a board-certified surgeon at pēkomd® for an in-depth consultation. We'll examine your breast anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable lift technique—such as the anchor, lollipop, or donut incision pattern. If you also desire added volume, we can explore combining a breast lift with an augmentation procedure.

On the day of surgery, you'll arrive at our accredited facility, where patient comfort and safety guide every step. After anesthesia is administered—typically general anesthesia—the surgeon will remove excess skin, reshape the breast tissue, and elevate the nipple-areolar complex to a more youthful position.

Incisions are then closed with care, often hidden along natural breast contours to minimize visible scarring. Depending on the complexity, a breast lift usually takes one to three hours. Our staff will then monitor you in a recovery area and ensure you have all the information you need for healing at home.

Recovering After Your Breast Lift Procedure

Most patients experience mild to moderate pain, swelling, and bruising in the initial days following surgery. Over-the-counter or prescribed medications can help manage discomfort, and we typically recommend wearing a supportive surgical bra to protect the breasts and reduce swelling. Light activities can often be resumed within one to two weeks, although you should avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least four weeks.

As the swelling subsides, you'll notice your breasts settling into their lifted, rejuvenated shape. We'll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress, address any questions, and ensure that your incisions are healing well. By closely following our post-operative guidelines, you can enjoy a smooth recovery and long-lasting results that reflect your desired aesthetic.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for a Breast Lift?

A breast lift may be the right choice if you're dissatisfied with breast sagging, drooping nipples, or a lack of youthful contour. Ideal candidates are typically in good overall health, don't smoke (or are willing to quit before and after surgery), and have realistic expectations. It's also important to consider how future weight changes or pregnancies might affect your results.

If you want to increase cup size, combining a lift with implants might be more appropriate. During your consultation at pēkomd®, our board-certified providers will perform a thorough evaluation of your breast shape, skin quality, and medical history. If a breast lift aligns with your needs and lifestyle, we'll guide you toward a personalized plan that sets you on the path to feeling confident and comfortable with your appearance.

Breast Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to discover how a breast lift can enhance your shape and confidence? Contact pēkomd® to schedule a personalized consultation and take the next step toward a more rejuvenated you.

Will a breast lift make my breasts smaller?

A breast lift repositions and reshapes existing tissue, removing only the extra skin. While your breasts may appear slightly smaller due to reduced sagging, significant changes in volume typically require augmentation or reduction.

Can I combine a breast lift with implants or a reduction?

Yes. Many patients choose to pair a lift with implants for added fullness or with a reduction to alleviate discomfort from overly large breasts. We'll discuss combined options during your consultation.

How visible are breast lift scars?

Scarring depends on the incision pattern, but most scars fade considerably over time. Our surgeons place incisions strategically so they're as discreet as possible while supporting effective reshaping.

Will I lose nipple sensation after surgery?

Most patients maintain normal sensation, though some may experience temporary numbness. Permanent changes in sensitivity are rare but can occur, especially with more extensive lifts.

How long do breast lift results last?

Breast lift outcomes are long-lasting, but factors like aging, weight fluctuations, and gravity can gradually affect your results. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help prolong your lift's longevity.
