What is a breast lift?
Lift, Reshape & Restore Your Breast Contour
A breast lift, or mastopexy, removes extra skin and reshapes the breast tissue to improve position and contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned as part of the lift. We select the incision pattern for the amount of correction you need.
- Raise breasts that have become lower or flatter.
- Improve nipple position and breast shape.
- Consider added volume separately if you also want augmentation.
What does it treat?
- Breasts that sit lower after pregnancy or weight change
- Downward-pointing nipples
- Stretched skin and loss of breast shape

Before surgery
Your NuSelf surgeon marks breast position and confirms the incision pattern before anesthesia.

During surgery
Selected skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped and the nipple and areola are raised while preserving their blood supply.

Recovery and home
A support garment is placed and you receive incision and lifting instructions before going home with an adult.
