Over time, aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can lead to sagging and a loss of breast firmness, affecting both appearance and confidence. At Tamburrino Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Doylestown, PA, we help patients in the Greater Philadelphia area restore a youthful, lifted shape with breast lift surgery.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift—also known as mastopexy—lifts and reshapes sagging breasts that have lost firmness, resulting in a droopy or deflated look. The procedure removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue to restore a perkier, more youthful shape.

What Does a Breast Lift Cost?

Breast lift surgery is highly customized, and the cost reflects this. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will provide a detailed price quote during your consultation. However, our Pricing Information page provides a starting price for the procedure.

Ideal candidates typically share some common characteristics:

  • Visible sagging or drooping

During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. discusses your concerns and goals to determine the most appropriate approach for your breast lift.

How Is a Breast Lift Performed?

Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. customizes the surgical approach to best suit your anatomy and desired outcome. Here’s what to expect: 

Anesthesia and Comfort

Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. typically performs the procedure under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

Tailored Incision Options

Depending on the severity of sagging, you may be a candidate for a vertical “lollipop” incision or a more extensive “anchor” (inverted-T) incision. The chosen technique ensures individualized optimal results.

Repositioning and Reshaping

Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. removes excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue. He then positions the nipple-areola complex to a higher, more youthful-looking location, improving symmetry and overall balance. He’ll explain each step in detail during your consultation, ensuring you’re comfortable with the planned approach.

What Is Breast Lift Recovery Like?

Post-surgery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort—typical signs of healing that generally subside within 1 to 2 weeks. For a smooth recovery, follow these recommendations:

  • Avoid strenuous activities until your surgeon gives you the OK to resume your usual routine.
  • Wear a supportive surgical bra as directed to minimize swelling and support your new contours as you heal.
  • Adhere to your postoperative guidelines to promote optimal healing.

Breast lift results are long-lasting, particularly if you wear a supportive bra and maintain a stable weight.

Combining Procedures for Enhanced Results

If you want to enhance both the shape and fullness of your breasts, pairing a breast lift with breast augmentation can achieve a more balanced, youthful look. Here are a few of the benefits:

  • Restored Volume: Augmentation adds the fullness you may have lost, complementing the lift for a more balanced profile.
  • Balanced Contour: The breast lift repositions drooping tissue while implants enhance shape, creating a natural, proportionate look.
  • Efficient Recovery: Simultaneously performing both procedures streamlines your recovery process, minimizing downtime compared to separate surgeries.

During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. assesses your concerns and determines if a combined breast lift and augmentation is the best approach to help you achieve your desired look.
