If sagging breasts cause you physical or emotional discomfort, a breast lift (mastopexy) can enhance your quality of life. Whether you want to regain a more youthful shape or address posture problems, our caring team can help.
Aging, weight changes, pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause the breasts to lose volume, shape or firmness.
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and lift the breasts. It involves removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple, and lifting the breast tissue to restore elasticity and support. The procedure can also involve removing previous implants (called a breast explant).
Beyond cosmetic improvements, a breast lift can alleviate physical discomfort, such as back pain, and make daily activities easier. You’ll also enjoy improved comfort with clothing, enhanced posture, and a renewed sense of confidence in your appearance.

Kansas Plastic Surgery uses a personalized approach, tailoring the surgical technique to match your anatomy and desired results. Everybody is different, and we will customize your surgery to provide the best possible outcome for you.
Breast lift surgery generally involves removing excess skin, lifting and reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipples for an uplifted appearance. This step-by-step process helps ensure that your breasts look natural and youthful.
If you have previous implants that have lost shape or volume, they can be removed during the breast lift procedure. The surgeon can also place implants if you want additional volume along with a lift.
An “internal bra,” such as GalaFLEX, is another potential option. Placed during surgery, it is a bioreabsorbable mesh that provides long-lasting structural support while helping strengthen tissue.
After surgery, you will need to wear a support bra to minimize swelling and provide support during the healing process.
Most patients can return to work within a week. Physically strenuous activities may require two to four weeks of rest to ensure proper healing.
Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions will help you feel comfortable and maximize your results. Rest, proper support, and attending follow-up appointments are essential for a smooth recovery process.
Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure that you achieve the best possible outcome. Your care doesn’t stop after the surgery — we’re here to support you every step of the way.
While some scarring is inevitable, your surgeon will take special care to minimize scarring, and most scars fade significantly over time. We use advanced techniques to ensure the best possible outcome for your skin.
Results are long-lasting, though aging and gravity will naturally continue to affect the breasts. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle helps prolong your beautiful results.
A breast lift starts at $9,000, but the exact price depends on several factors. You will receive a detailed cost estimate at your consultation.
