Breast Lift
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, genetics, and weight loss can cause the breasts to sag and flatten. At the Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor, we offer mastopexy, often called breast lift surgery, in Ann Arbor to return the breasts to a more youthful shape and position. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Sherick and board-eligible plastic surgeon Dr. Amy Strong, who holds a dual MD-PhD doctorate, strive to make your experience with us as comfortable as possible. Our location in Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital allows us access to cutting-edge technology to help our patients meet their aesthetic ambitions.

How Do You Know If You Need a Breast Lift?
A simple test to determine if a breast lift is required is to simply stand in front of a mirror and examine your nipples in relation to your natural breast crease. If your nipples are lower than your breast crease, you may need a breast lift.

How Is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
The first step towards your breast lift surgery is your consultation with one of our surgeons. A consultation allows patients the opportunity to voice their personal goals and expectations, as well as ask any questions they may have.
A breast lift procedure can be performed on an outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia. The location of incisions used will vary, depending on the amount of breast ptosis (drooping) present. The nipple will be repositioned, any excess skin will be removed, and the breast is shaped into a more pleasing contour.

Discover 10 essential questions to ask your prospective surgeon.
Types of Breast Lifts
There are a variety of incisions that can be used during a breast lift depending on the degree of ptosis and desired result. Your plastic surgeon will discuss which approach you’re a candidate for.
Types of breast lifts include:
- Circumareolar lift: This incision is best used for a mild lift, and is created around the areola.
- Lollipop lift: A lollipop incision is made around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This type of lift is effective for women with low hanging breasts.
- Anchor lift (our most commonly used incision): This incision is made around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease as well. The anchor lift is used for significant breast droop, and is the most invasive lift procedure.

Recuperation and Healing
Following your breast lift, you will receive specific post-op instructions from your surgeon for a safe recovery. You will return home in a bra and ace wrap, with light dressings over your incisions. The bra will need to be worn as a “dressing” for a few weeks. Sutures are usually removed in two weeks. Any initial discomfort can be controlled with oral pain medications. Light activities may be resumed in seven to 10 days, and aerobic activities or intimate contact can be resumed in a few weeks. All restrictions are lifted in four weeks once all stitches are out and incisions are healed.
