BREAST LIFT SURGERY
Natural-Looking Results with Mastopexy
Breasts lose their shape and firmness due to gravity, weight loss, pregnancy, and nursing, all of which can cause them to sag. Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, restores a more youthful appearance to a woman’s breasts. The results raise and reshape the breasts, slowing the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, which is the darker skin surrounding the nipple, if the patient desires.
Contact Dr. Mark X Lowney of Advanced Body Sculpting of New England if you want to lift and restore your breasts. Dr. Lowney is an expert surgeon known for his attention to detail, patient safety, and results. The entire team is ready to help you feel confident in your skin with treatment plans tailored to your specific goals.

What Are The Benefits of Breast Enhancement?
Mastoplexy offers a range of benefits that can enhance your confidence and help you feel more comfortable in your body. Patients choose breast lifts to:
- Improve shape and symmetry
- Achieve a firmer breast appearance
- Create natural and youthful-looking results
- Improve nipple projection
- Fit into clothing and swimwear better
- Feel younger and more feminine
- Enhance without foreign materials
- Get a more attractive breast shape
A breast lift removes sagging tissue and repositions the nipple to a more youthful height. Many patients choose to combine a lift with breast augmentation to restore lost volume, enhance fullness in the upper portion of the breast, and create more defined cleavage.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE
At Advanced Body Sculpting of New England, breast lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in a fully accredited surgical facility. Dr. Mark X. Lowney performs the surgery under IV sedation with local anesthesia. Depending on your breast size and whether implants are added, the procedure can take 1.5 to 3.5 hours.
Dr. Lowney uses a technique called the “Staple Shape” method, where the excess skin is temporarily stapled to tailor the perfect shape before removal. This helps ensure a natural-looking result. The nipple and areola are carefully repositioned, and everything is closed with absorbable sutures. Here’s what to expect with your breast lift:
- Outpatient procedure under IV sedation and local anesthesia
- Takes 1.5 to 3.5 hours
- Incisions around and below the areola (sometimes along the breast fold)
- Excess skin removed using the “Staple Shape” technique
- Breast tissue may also be reduced
- Nipple and areola are lifted to a more youthful position
- Closed with dissolvable sutures
Recovery After Breast Lift Surgery
After surgery, your sutures will be covered with steri-strips, and a surgical bra will hold the breasts in place. Drains are usually not placed after breast lift surgery. Your breasts will be swollen and bruised, and you may experience mild discomfort for a couple of days. This discomfort is generally well controlled with oral pain medication.
The steri-strips will be removed one week after surgery. The scars may be red and lumpy for a few months, eventually fading and becoming less noticeable. Scar creams are available that may help the final appearance of the scars.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
A breast lift can be a life-changing procedure for those looking to enhance the appearance of their breasts and restore confidence in their body. Good candidates for mastopexy include:
- Women aged 18 to 65+ who are seeking breast enhancement procedures.
- Those in good overall health, without medical conditions that could impair healing.
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery to ensure optimal healing.
- Anyone seeking aesthetic improvements to the shape, size, or position of their breasts.
- Those interested in breast augmentation, a lift, or a combination of both to achieve their desired look.
- Someone comfortable with the possibility of scars, such as around the areola or vertically from the areola to the inframammary fold.
- Those experiencing sagging or loss of volume due to aging, weight changes, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

BREAST LIFT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD YOU TAKE OFF AFTER BREAST LIFT SURGERY?
To ensure proper healing, appropriate post-operative rest and recovery time is needed. If you have a sit down job, you should plan on staying home for at least 1 week. If your job entails physical activity, you should plan on staying home for 2 to 3 weeks. You should refrain from any jogging or activity which will cause the breasts to bounce for at least 1 month.
WILL A BREAST LIFT REDUCE MY CUP SIZE?
Yes. Typically, a breast lift will reduce your bra size by one cup. When excess skin and sagging breast tissue are removed or repositioned during a breast lift, cup sizes are naturally reduced.
Following a breast lift, the breasts typically retain a natural teardrop shape, with more fullness towards the bottom. If a patient desires to add volume or fullness to the top of the breast or to create a rounder shape, implants would be recommended.
WHERE ARE BREAST LIFT INCISIONS MADE?
There are several different types of breast lift procedures, each involving a different incision. At Advanced Body Sculpting of New England, Dr. Mark X. Lowney utilizes circumvertical or “lollipop” incisions during breast lift surgery. This type of incision traces all the way around the areola and adds a vertical line down toward the bottom of the breast.
Can I Breastfeed After A Breast Lift?
Should I Get A Breast Augmentation With My Breast Lift?
How Long Will My Breast Lift Results Last?
If you maintain a stable weight and live a healthy lifestyle, your breast lift results could last a long time. While individual results may vary, generally our clients enjoy their firmer, lifted breasts for 10-15 years. At this point, breasts may begin to sag again due to aging, but a revision surgery can restore a youthful, lifted appearance. Many people find the revision surgery to be quicker than the initial surgery, especially if your surgeon makes minor adjustments.
What Are The Risks And Side Effects Of Breast Lift Surgery?
As with any surgery, there are possible complications. Although rare, there are adverse effects from anesthesia, as well as the possibility of bleeding and infection that can cause the scars to widen. Diabetics and smokers are at a higher risk for wound breakdown, infection, and possible loss of the skin of the nipple and areola regions. You will need to quit smoking for a minimum of 6 weeks before surgery to minimize the risk of complications. Breast lift surgery can also leave you unevenly positioned nipples or a permanent loss of feeling in your nipples or breasts. As always, individual experiences will vary.
