Breast Lift in Houston, TX

Restore a Youthful, Lifted Look with Mastopexy

Over time, pregnancy, weight loss, aging, and gravity can cause the breasts to lose firmness, shape, and position. If you’re experiencing sagging, loss of volume, or downward-pointing nipples, a breast lift (mastopexy) can restore a youthful, perky appearance.

We specialize in breast lift procedures that reshape, tighten, and elevate the breasts for a natural, rejuvenated look. Whether you want a subtle lift or a dramatic transformation, Dr. Bonnor customizes every procedure to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that lifts, reshapes, and tightens sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipples. While a breast lift does not add volume, it can be combined with breast implants for fuller, lifted results.

This procedure is ideal for women who want to:

✔ Correct sagging and loss of shape
✔ Restore youthful breast position
✔ Lift downward-pointing nipples
✔ Tighten loose skin for a firmer look
✔ Improve breast symmetry

What Is a Breast Lift?

Do You Need a Breast Lift?

You may be a candidate for a breast lift if you experience:

✔ Sagging or drooping breasts (loss of perkiness)
✔ Flat or elongated breast shape
✔ Nipples that point downward
✔ Stretched skin or enlarged areolas
✔ Uneven breast positioning

A simple "pencil test" can help determine if you need a lift. Place a pencil under your breast—if it stays in place without support, a breast lift may be beneficial.

Breast Lift Procedure: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Personalized Consultation

Step 2: Surgery Day

✔ Excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is reshaped
✔ Nipples are repositioned for a youthful look
✔ Internal support sutures ensure long-lasting results

Step 3: Recovery & Healing

✔ Minimal discomfort with advanced techniques
✔ Resume light activities in a few days
✔ Swelling subsides within weeks, final shape settles in 3-6 months

Breast Lift Recovery: What to Expect

✔ Mild swelling & tightness for the first week

Most patients see immediate improvements, with final results appearing once swelling subsides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a breast lift make my breasts smaller?

A breast lift does not reduce volume, but it removes excess skin. If you want larger breasts, a breast lift + implants may be the best option.

Can I still breastfeed after a breast lift?

Many women can still breastfeed normally, but there is a small risk that the surgery may affect milk ducts.

How long do breast lift results last?

Results are long-lasting, but factors like aging, pregnancy, and weight changes can affect longevity. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.

Will I have visible scars?

Scarring is minimized with advanced techniques, and most scars fade significantly over time.
