Restore a more youthful breast position and refresh your confidence with a comprehensive breast lift. Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center takes an individualized approach to every procedure, ensuring the perfect lift for your figure.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that focuses on correcting breast sagging (ptosis) and a lack of firmness by removing excess tissue, helping reposition the breasts on the torso. This procedure can be used to improve the overall shape and projection of your breasts, both with and without implants. Most often, our Houston patients will undergo a breast lift after significant weight loss, pregnancy, and aging, though the procedure can also be done to correct natural sagging caused by genetics.

Ideal candidates for a breast lift in Houston are healthy, non-smoking adults who fit the following criteria:

Are unhappy with the shape, size, projection, or position of their breasts

A Private Consultation

Your journey with Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center will begin with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Eisemann at our Houston office. There, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and medical history, and he’ll assess your degree of breast sagging, skin health, and anatomy to determine if a breast lift is right for you.

Pricing Your Procedure

The cost of your breast lift in Houston will depend on the following factors:

Surgical complexity
Whether you’ve already received a breast augmentation
Whether additional procedures will be performed in the same session

After your initial consultation, our team will share a detailed cost estimate, including financing options, for full transparency.

What to Expect From Your Breast Lift in Houston

Your breast lift will be performed at our cutting-edge, QUAD A-accredited surgical center in Houston. We’ll administer our signature IV sedation with nerve block to prevent pain and discomfort during surgery, and you’ll rest with a trusted friend, family member, or partner in a private recovery suite.

During surgery, Dr. Eisemann will make a series of small incisions in your chosen pattern to access the breast tissue. Once any excess skin has been removed, he’ll adjust the underlying tissues to reposition the breasts on your chest, and the remaining skin will be redraped to create a smooth, firm shape. All incisions will be closed with small sutures to encourage consistent healing.

Patient-Centered Recovery

Recovery after a breast lift in Houston typically involves swelling, soreness, and tightness in the chest for up to two weeks. We’ll provide you with a specialized surgical bra to help reduce initial swelling and support your tissues as they heal.

Most patients can resume normal activities, including light movement, social gatherings, and desk work, within two weeks. You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise for at least four weeks to allow your body to recover.

Your Personalized Post-Op Process

After your procedure, our team will share a customized recovery plan that’s tailored to your body’s unique needs. This plan may include the following items:

Incision site care and cleaning protocols
Supportive garment guidance
Recovery clothing options
Sleep position restrictions
Activity limitations
Hygiene recommendations
Swelling and pain management strategies
Side effects to monitor

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to our Houston practice for follow-up visits with Dr. Eisemann. There, he’ll check your healing progress, remove any remaining sutures, and clear you to resume high-impact activities, such as weight lifting, running, and intense exercise.

Breast Lift Incision Options

As part of your customized surgical plan, Dr. Eisemann will determine which type of breast lift incision he’ll use to access and adjust your tissues. He’ll decide between the following options:

Crescent

This incision is in the shape of a crescent moon and sits at the top of the nipple. It’s best suited to patients who wish to lift the nipples but only have a small amount of breast sagging.

Circumareolar

Also known as a Benelli incision, this method uses an incision around the nipple to correct mild sagging.

Lollipop

Also called a vertical scar mastopexy, this incision encircles the nipple and extends vertically down to the breast crease. It’s most effective when moderate sagging is present.

Anchor

Designed specifically for patients with severe sagging, this incision circles the nipple, runs down the breast crease, and continues along the crease to maximize tissue access.

Completing Your Transformation

Many of our Houston patients incorporate a breast lift into an overarching body rejuvenation plan.

Complementary procedures include the following:

Liposuction
Arm lift
Breast augmentation
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

Breast Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will a breast lift make my breasts smaller?

Breast lifts do not directly impact the shape or volume of the underlying breast tissue. Some patients notice small changes in breast size after excess skin is removed and the remaining tissue is tightened.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Many women can breastfeed after a breast lift, as the procedure typically does not affect the milk ducts and underlying nipple structure. If this is a priority for you, discuss your options with Dr. Eisemann during your consultation. We recommend waiting to have a breast lift until you’ve finished growing your family to prevent nursing complications.

Will I have noticeable scars?

Dr. Eisemann strategically places incisions along the natural curves of the breasts, such as around the areola and below the breast crease, to minimize the visibility of scars after healing. If you’re concerned about your scars’ appearance, we can provide scar care recommendations during recovery.
