Uplifted Shape, Renewed Confidence

Breast Lift at Narasimhan Plastic Surgery

Sagging breasts are a common concern, especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. A breast lift (mastopexy) offers a way to restore natural shape and support by raising the breast tissue and repositioning the nipple to a more youthful height.

At Narasimhan Plastic Surgery in Tampa, Dr. Kailash Narasimhan approaches every breast lift with care. With double board certification and an eye for natural balance, he tailors each procedure to match your goals and anatomy, creating results that are subtle, proportional, and uniquely yours.

Breast Lift at a Glance

  • Natural Reshaping – Lifts sagging tissue and repositions the nipple
  • No Volume Increase – Does not add size unless combined with implants
  • Improved Symmetry – Balances uneven breasts or nipples
  • Outpatient Surgery – Patients return home the same day
  • Long-Term Improvement – Long-lasting results with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight

The Subtle Art of Reshaping

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes the breasts. Breasts feel firmer, along with a flattering contour, while retaining a natural suppleness. Dr. Narasimhan’s detailed approach to breast enhancement comes with the understanding that a person’s overall wellness is linked closely to their feelings about their appearance.

His surgical skill allows women having a breast lift to achieve the beautiful silhouette they envision. The goal is to restore a youthful contour and correct downward-facing nipples, flattening, or loss of shape, whether caused by pregnancy, nursing, weight loss, or natural aging.

Breast Lift Techniques

What is the Breast Lift Procedure Like?

Performed under general anesthesia, the breast lift procedure takes about 2 to 3 hours. Dr. Narasimhan will choose the most appropriate incision type based on your degree of sagging. He then reshapes the breast mound, lifts the tissue, and repositions the nipple to a natural, flattering location. Excess skin is removed, resulting in a firmer, lifted breast with improved symmetry and projection.

Common breast lift techniques and incision patterns include:

“Donut” Lift (Periareolar Incision)

As its name suggests, an incision is made in a round pattern around the edge of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The benefit of a donut lift is that there is no vertical scar on the underside of the breast, as is the case with the two following techniques. A donut lift, however, is only appropriate for patients with minimal sagging.

“Lollipop” Lift

In cases where the sagging is more moderate, Dr. Narasimhan adds a vertical incision extending from the edge of the areola down the center of the breast to where the skin connects to the chest. This incision connects to the incision around the areola to provide additional support to the lifted breast, creating a pair of incisions with a “lollipop” shape.

“Anchor” Lift

For women with heavier breasts that are sagging so that the nipples are well below the breast crease and are pointed down, a third, horizontal incision is added to the two incisions described above. This incision, which extends along the base of the breast, offers support that isn’t possible with only two incisions. The shape of the three incisions resembles an anchor, giving the technique its name. Although there is more scarring with this technique, most patients appreciate the way their breasts look after the lift and are satisfied with the results.

Shape That Moves with You

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?

The breast lift procedure restores your breast shape without adding implants, offering a more natural look for women who want enhanced contours and firmness without increased volume. It improves how bras and clothes fit, enhances symmetry, and can boost self-confidence by helping your body’s appearance align with how you feel inside.

Common Breast Concerns

What Conditions Does a Breast Lift Address?

A breast lift is most effective for treating:

  • Breast sagging (ptosis) from age, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations
  • Nipples that point downward or sit below the breast fold
  • Stretched breast skin and loss of firmness
  • Breast asymmetry or uneven nipple placement
  • Flat or elongated breast shape

These changes are normal, but with Dr. Narasimhan’s advanced techniques, they don’t have to be permanent.

A Natural Look You’ll Love

Is Breast Lift Surgery Right for You?

As a woman who’s looking to enhance her appearance, you probably work hard to stay in healthy shape. But even if you’re fit and healthy, your breasts can start to look less than satisfying over time.

Maybe you’ve caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror recently and noticed that your curvy profile looks different than it did years ago. Pregnancy, nursing, heredity, age, and weight loss are all factors that might cause a woman to choose a breast lift in Tampa.

You might be a candidate for breast lift surgery if:

  • You maintain a healthy, stable weight
  • Your breasts have a flatter, elongated shape or visibly stretched skin
  • When your breasts are unsupported, your nipples rest below the breast crease
  • Your nipples point downward
  • One breast is lower than the other

Some women combine a breast lift with breast augmentation to both reposition their breasts and add volume for a more attractive, balanced appearance. A breast lift is sometimes combined with procedures such as liposuction or a tummy tuck for women who have finished having children, as part of a customized mommy makeover.

Healing in Stages, Living in Results

Breast Lift Recovery

Dr. Narasimhan reminds his patients that cosmetic surgery is still surgery, and it’s important to do your homework so you can achieve your aesthetic goals.

The first step to ensure a successful breast lift is to choose a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Narasimhan. Follow his specific instructions for the care of your breasts after surgery, and you should be able to enjoy your results for many years to come.

Allowing a full week for rest after your breast lift surgery will allow your body time to replenish its energy. Most patients will wear a gauze wrap over their breasts for 2 days after surgery and will also be fitted with a surgical support bra. Dr. Narasimhan recommends limiting exercise and strenuous activity in the 3 to 4 weeks following your surgery.

Breast Lift Results

Breast lift results are visible almost immediately, with continued refinement over several months as the tissues settle and scars mature. Your breast shape becomes firmer, higher, and more proportionate, often with a dramatic improvement in nipple position and overall contour. With a stable weight and healthy habits, the results of a breast lift can last for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some patients feel their breasts look smaller because they’re firmer and more lifted, but no volume is removed unless specifically planned.

Yes. A lift alone can improve shape and firmness. Breast implants are only needed if you want to add volume.

Provided you maintain the same weight that you started with before your surgery, do not become pregnant after your procedure, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, you can expect your breast lift to last for many years.

Scars are an inevitable part of surgery, but they are placed carefully and usually fade significantly over time. Most women find that the improvement in breast shape far outweighs the appearance of scarring.

Yes. A breast lift can address differences in nipple height, breast shape, or position, creating better balance and proportion.
