What a Breast Lift Can Improve

  • Sagging/deflation from time, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change
  • Nipples/areolas that point downward or sit below the breast crease
  • Stretched areolas; asymmetry in size or position

Incision Patterns We May Discuss

  • Crescent / Donut (around areola) for mild lifting/areolar reduction
  • Lollipop (areola + vertical) for moderate lifting/reshaping
  • J-Lift (shorter-scar variant) to minimize length vs. traditional anchor

During your consult, Dr. Dellinger will recommend the best pattern for your anatomy and whether adding an implant fits your goals.

Who’s a Candidate?

  • Healthy, non-smoking (or willing to pause) with realistic expectations
  • Ideally finished breastfeeding and not planning pregnancy soon
  • Stable weight and seeking long-lasting shape improvement

Considering Volume Too?

What to Expect

Consultation
Exam, photos, and a tailored plan—incision pattern, areolar sizing, and whether to add implants.
Procedure
~2 hours outpatient under general (or local with IV sedation). Tissue reshaped, nipples/areolas repositioned, excess skin removed.
Recovery
Support bra; sleep elevated on your back for the first week. Light activity in ~1 week; most routines resume by 3–4 weeks.
Results
Lift and shape are visible quickly; refinement continues over several months. Results can last for years with stable weight.

Breast Lift FAQs

How much does a breast lift cost?

Pricing varies by technique and whether procedures are combined. National figures often cite around $4,800 for the surgical fee (excludes anesthesia/facility). You’ll receive a personalized quote and financing options at your consultation.

How long is recovery?

Most return to desk work in ~1 week; exercise and heavier activity are phased in over 3–4 weeks as cleared by Dr. Dellinger.

Will it hurt?

You’ll be comfortable during surgery. Post-op soreness is manageable with medications and supportive garments; it eases as healing progresses.

Can I combine a lift with other procedures?

Yes. Common pairings include a lift with augmentation or with reduction for size and position changes in one operation.

What about scars?

Incisions are placed strategically and typically fade over time. You’ll receive scar-care guidance to support the best cosmetic outcome.
