Breast Lift
Time, gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes can all take a toll on the breasts—leaving them lower, softer, and less defined than they once were. A breast lift, or mastopexy, addresses these changes by removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue to restore a firmer, more elevated contour. If you’ve been wanting perkier, sexier, more youthful-looking breasts, our double board-certified plastic surgeon in Frisco and the Dallas-Fort Worth area can help you get there. Dr. Robert Najera (known by many as “Dr. Dallas”), looks forward to meeting you!

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?
A breast lift can restore shape, position, and firmness that have been diminished over time. Common benefits include a more elevated breast position, a firmer feel, improved symmetry, and a nipple-areola complex repositioned to face forward rather than downward. Many patients find they feel more confident, comfortable, and sexier in fitted clothing, swimwear, and lingerie following surgery.
Am I a Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery?
A breast lift may be right for you if you are in good overall health and are bothered by sagging, loss of firmness, nipples that point downward, or breasts that sit lower than you’d like. If you are also looking to increase volume, a breast lift with implants can be performed, which combines a breast lift with a breast augmentation for results that address breast ptosis (sagging) while simultaneously enhancing size and volume. Dr. Najera will evaluate your breast shape, skin quality, tissue, and your individual goals to help determine the most appropriate approach during your consultation.
What Does the Breast Lift Procedure Involve?
Breast lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia and takes approximately two to three hours. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped and elevated, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a more youthful location. Incision pattern (periareolar, vertical, or anchor-shaped) is selected based on the degree of sagging and your individual anatomy. Dr. Najera places incisions thoughtfully to minimize visible scarring and support the best possible aesthetic outcome.

What Can I Expect During Recovery from Breast Lift with Implants Surgery?
Recovery from a combined breast lift and augmentation is similar to that of breast augmentation alone, though some patients may experience a slightly longer initial healing period given the additional tissue work involved. Most patients manage discomfort well with prescribed medication and return to light daily activities within a few days.
Light walking is encouraged early in the recovery process to promote circulation. Most patients return to work within one to two weeks, depending on the physical demands of their job. More strenuous exercise and activities are typically resumed after approximately six weeks, based on individual healing progress.
Swelling and some initial tightness are normal and should gradually improve. The implants should settle into their final position over the course of about three months, during which shape and softness should continue to evolve. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to track your progress and ensure everything is healing as expected.
As with any surgery, there are risks involved. With this particular procedure, risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, implant-related complications, or changes in sensation. Our plastic surgeon is extensively skilled and experienced and works diligently to reduce the potential for complications, and all risks will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation. Dr. Najera and his team are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?
