As you age, your breasts will undergo certain changes. One of the most significant changes you will notice is the development of sagging issues. Sagging breasts usually result from gravity and the aging process as well as pregnancy.
If your breasts are beginning to droop and you’d like to restore them to their youthful beauty, our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Philip Barnsley may be able to help with breast lift surgery. Dr. Barnsley utilizes the most advanced techniques in breast lift surgery to successfully reposition breast tissue and provide you with a youthful, natural-looking appearance.

Is Breast Lift Surgery Right for Me?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is designed to correct moderate to severe sagging issues. If addressing sagging breasts is your primary objective, a breast lift may be an ideal solution. If your goal is to attain larger, fuller breasts, breast augmentation surgery may be a more appropriate choice. Depending on your unique goals, Dr. Barnsley may recommend combining your breast augmentation procedure with a mastopexy in order to enhance the size and shape of your breasts while eliminating sagging.
Typically, you may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery if you:
- Would like to address sagging issues and restore a more youthful breast appearance
- Have realistic expectations for the outcome of your mastopexy
- Are in good overall health
Don’t smoke or are willing to avoid smoking before your surgery and throughout the duration of your recovery period
The best way to determine if a breast lift is right for you is to meet personally with Dr. Barnsley. During your initial consultation, he will evaluate your physical condition, answer your questions and thoroughly explain all of your treatment options.
Your Mastopexy Procedure
Your breast lift surgery will be a step-wise progression, specifically customized for you, based on your aesthetic goals and unique body type. Dr. Barnsley uses an anchor incision for breast lifts that circles around the areola. There is also a vertical scar coming down to the fold of the breast and a horizontal scar along the fold of the breast.
Once the incisions are performed, Dr. Barnsley can improve the appearance of your breasts by:
- Removing excess skin and tightening the remaining skin
- Reshaping the skin and breast mound
- Repositioning the nipple and areola
