What Is a Breast Lift?

During a breast lift, Dr. Gupta raises and reshapes sagging tissue by removing excess skin, tightening the underlying support structures, and repositioning the nipple and areola. While this surgery does not significantly change your breast size, it does restore a higher, firmer, and more youthful contour.

Breast Reduction vs. Breast Lift in San Diego - Gupta Plastic Surgery

Beautifully Lifted, Naturally You

A breast lift is about more than restoring a youthful shape. When done well, it can renew your confidence and sense of self. By removing excess skin and elevating your chest, Dr. Gupta can help you feel like yourself again. Whether your figure has changed due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or the natural aging process, he will design your lift with precision and artistry, focusing on subtle elevation, improved firmness, and an elegant contour.

The Benefits

Restore your youthful breast shape and position
Reposition your nipples higher on the chest
Tighten loose skin and improve overall firmness
Enhance breast symmetry and restore balance

Who Is a Candidate?

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

Are in good health and at a stable weight
Want to correct sagging breasts and/or nipples that point downward
Are finished having children and breastfeeding (and understand that future pregnancies may impact your results)
Have realistic expectations for what a breast lift can accomplish (a youthful lift without any added volume)

The Breast Lift Process

Prior to surgery, you’ll meet with Dr. Gupta in San Diego or Encinitas to plan your breast lift transformation. During these appointments, he will thoroughly explain all of the lift techniques, incision options, and outcomes using drawings and models. This extremely thorough process will help you feel confident and informed before your procedure.

Your actual surgery will be performed under general anesthesia. The technique Dr. Gupta uses will depend on your needs: a periareolar (donut) lift may be used for mild sagging with minimal scarring, a vertical (lollipop) lift for moderate reshaping, and an anchor lift for more significant sagging and skin removal. Dr. Gupta will choose the approach that ensures an optimal lift and the most natural and balanced results.

Recovery and Results

Immediately after your breast lift in San Diego, you can expect mild swelling, tightness, and sensitivity for about one week. You can return to light activities within a week and strenuous exercise within six weeks. As your swelling subsides and scars fade, your breasts will take on their final, lifted shape. The results feel lighter, firmer, and naturally beautiful. As long as you maintain a stable weight moving forward, your beautifully refined contours should endure for many years.

Breast Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will my breasts change size after a breast lift?

A breast lift improves the shape and position of your breasts, but it doesn’t significantly change your cup size. However, some patients notice that their breasts appear slightly smaller. If you’d like to add more volume, you may want to consider combining your lift with a breast augmentation or fat transfer

Where are the incisions placed?

Dr. Gupta will choose your incisions carefully based on your anatomy and the lift you want to achieve. They can be placed around the areola, vertically down the breast, or along the natural breast crease. In all cases, he will hide them within your natural contours to minimize visibility. Additionally, his meticulous technique ensures that your scars heal smoothly and will fade over time.

Can a breast lift correct uneven breasts?

Absolutely. During a breast lift, Dr. Gupta will adjust the shape, height, and position of each breast to ensure symmetry and balance. If your breasts are different sizes, you may need to combine your lift with an augmentation or a reduction.

Can I still breastfeed after a breast lift?

In many cases, the answer is yes, but it ultimately depends on your anatomy and the type of lift performed. If you want to breastfeed in the future, Dr. Gupta can use a technique that preserves your nipple sensation and milk ducts

How long will my results last?

Your results will be extremely long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and properly support your breasts moving forward. You will continue to age naturally, but most of our patients enjoy their improved shape and lift for many years.
