Correct sagging, stretched skin, and downward-pointing nipples with mastopexy for a firmer, more youthful breast position.
Breast lift surgery restores a firmer, more youthful shape by raising and reshaping breasts that have sagged over time. At Arlington Plastic Surgery – Atran MD, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Tran performs breast lift surgery in Arlington, Texas, using proven techniques designed to create natural-looking, balanced results that complement each patient’s body.
What is Breast Lift Surgery Used to Correct?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is designed to reduce sagging by lifting the breasts higher on the chest and reshaping the underlying tissue. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, the breasts are repositioned, and enlarged areolas can be reduced to create a more youthful appearance.
For patients who would also like to increase volume, implants can sometimes be added. During your initial consultation, Dr. Tran will determine whether a breast lift alone or a combined approach is the best option for achieving your goals.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery
Women bothered by sagging, drooping, or deflated-looking breasts are excellent candidates for breast lift surgery. Many patients seek treatment after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or age-related changes that have affected the position and shape of the chest.
Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and be finished having children, as future pregnancies can affect surgical results. While breasts of nearly any size can be lifted, women with larger, heavier breasts may also benefit from discussing breast reduction surgery during their meeting with Dr. Tran.
Your Breast Lift Consultation
Your consultation begins with a discussion about your goals, medical history, and concerns. Dr. Tran will evaluate your breast shape, skin quality, nipple position, and overall anatomy to determine whether a breast lift is right for you.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience serving Arlington and the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Dr. Anthony Tran takes a candid, patient-focused approach to plastic surgery. He believes that informed patients make the best decisions, and works closely with each individual to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
During your visit, you’ll also learn about the procedure, recovery process, expected results, and whether any complementary procedures might be appropriate. Photographs may be taken for your medical record, and additional testing is sometimes recommended.
The Day of Your Breast Lift Surgery
Before surgery, you will be given medicine to lessen any anxiety and pain. General anesthesia is typically used, so you will be completely asleep for your breast lift. You’ll meet your anesthetist before your procedure, and he or she will answer any questions you may have.
Several different techniques can be used to lift your breasts. The most common requires a “lollipop” incision around the areola and down to the crease. Depending on the extent of sagging and the size of the breasts, more or less extensive incisions may be used, such as an anchor-shaped incision or one around the areola only. If an implant is necessary, this is usually placed in a pocket behind the breast or behind the chest muscle, depending on the amount of breast tissue you have.
The surgery usually takes 2-3 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure at our certified ambulatory surgery center or at one of several hospitals in the DFW Metroplex. Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first few days.
Breast Lift Recovery
After surgery, you will spend time in a recovery area while your condition is monitored. Some discomfort, swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected during the first several days. You will receive instructions for caring for your incisions, along with any necessary prescriptions for pain management.
A surgical bra will be worn initially, followed by a supportive sports bra for several weeks during healing. Most patients begin feeling more comfortable as the swelling subsides and can return to non-strenuous work within approximately one to two weeks.
While recovery varies from patient to patient, strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for about four weeks to allow proper healing. Follow-up visits with Dr. Tran will allow him to monitor your progress, answer questions, and ensure your recovery stays on track.
