Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
When it comes to breast surgery, many people mistakenly believe that it is all about increasing their size. Oftentimes, women are perfectly satisfied with the size of their breasts. Instead, they feel that it is their positioning that is affecting their confidence and self-esteem.
Childbirth, age and weight loss can all have a negative impact on the appearance of a woman’s breasts, causing them to avoid wearing certain clothes and even situations, such as swimming, where they feel that their breasts are more noticeable than usual. Breast lift surgery can improve the appearance of breasts, repositioning them higher on the chest, making them appear firmer, perkier, and more youthful.
Other Names for Mastopexy:
- Breast Lift
- Boob Lift
- Breast Reshaping
- Breast Elevation
A breast lift, medically known as Mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. The surgery removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue to provide a more youthful breast contour. A breast lift can rejuvenate a woman’s figure by restoring a firmer, perkier appearance to the breasts. It does not significantly change the size of the breasts, but it can be combined with breast augmentation or reduction if desired.

What are the types of breast lift?
There are different types of breast lift techniques. The kind that is right for you will depend on the extent of the lift that you need, in order to achieve your desired result. Dr. Lesavoy will be able to advise you on the best type of breast lift surgery for your unique circumstance.
The Donut Lift
Also called a peri-areolar lift, this type of breast lift is designed to correct mild sagging. It most commonly performed at the same time as breast augmentation (enlargement).
One of the key benefits of this type of lift is that it leaves the patient with just one small scar around the areola. This gradually fades in redness and becomes virtually imperceptible over time.
Sometimes, the donut lift is also used to reduce areola size and make the nipples appear smaller and tighter.
The Lollipop Lift
Also called the vertical lift, is designed to correct moderate sagging.
In the Lollipop Lift, Dr. Lesavoy can reshape the entire breast and remove some excess skin, leaving breasts looking tighter, firmer, and more youthful.
Incisions are made around the areola, and run from the areola to the infra-mammary fold, creating the lollipop shape, which gives this lift its name.
The Anchor Lift
Sometimes referred to as an inverted “T” lift, this is the most dramatic and best style of breast lift. Anchor lifts are recommended for patients who have significant pendulous breasts that require extensive lifting and reshaping.
The anchor lift requires the surgeon to make three incisions into the breast tissue. In addition to the lollipop shape, there is a third incision made along with infra-mammary fold along the crease of the breast.
The three incisions mean that the anchor lift causes the most scarring of all three types, but as with all surgical scars, they will fade over time.

Breast Lift After Pregnancy
Over time, pregnancy, nursing, and gravity can take their toll on a woman’s breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts may lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts – at least, for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity.)
Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume – for example, after pregnancy – breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size.

What is the difference between a breast lift and breast reduction?
A breast lift and breast reduction are both plastic surgery breast procedures, but they serve different purposes.
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is performed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It is ideal for women who have lost breast volume and firmness due to factors such as pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped to create a more youthful and lifted appearance. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned to a higher position on the breast.
On the other hand, a breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is performed to reduce the size and volume of the breasts. This procedure is typically sought by women who have overly large breasts that can cause physical discomfort, back pain, shoulder pain, or posture issues. During a breast reduction, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to achieve a more proportional breast size. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned to a more aesthetically pleasing position.
A breast lift focuses on lifting and reshaping sagging breasts, while a breast reduction aims to reduce the size and volume of overly large breasts. The choice between the two procedures depends on the individual’s specific plastic surgery goals.
Breast Reduction LA leaves behind lighter and firmer breasts.
Women with health problems or are experiencing self-consciousness with very large and heavy breasts are candidates for breast reduction procedures. The goal of the surgery is to improve the contour of the breasts to make them more proportionate to the rest of the body. Patients may also want to treat medical problems associated with very large breasts.
These include:
- Heavy breast weight
- Irritation to the skin
- Skeletal deformities
- Posture problems
- Breathing problems
- Shoulder indentations from bra straps
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Lesavoy possesses extensive experience in performing breast reduction in Beverly Hills. The surgery involves the extraction of fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts. The result leaves smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts.
There are various techniques for breast surgery. Dr. Lesavoy can make an anchor-shaped incision around the areola that follows the natural curve of the crease below the breast. The skin from each side of the breast can be moved down and re-positioned around the areola, creating a new contour.
The nipples are generally attached to the blood vessels and nerves. In other cases, the breasts can be excessively large or pendulous, which means the nipples and areolas may have to be completely removed and grafted to a higher position. This may result in a loss of sensation in the nipple and areolar tissue.
