Real Patient Experience

Hear our doctors, staff, and patients share what makes our care special.

What Is Mastopexy?

A mastopexy, or breast lift, removes stretched skin and re‑positions breast tissue and nipples to correct sagging (ptosis). Your Leva Medical surgeon tailors the lift pattern—vertical, anchor, or peri‑areolar—to match your degree of droop and keep scars discreet.

 

You’ll notice an immediate uplifted contour; swelling and scar redness fade over 2–3 months. Most patients return to desk work in 5–7 days and light exercise after week 4.

FAQs – Mastopexy

How much does a mastopexy cost?
Breast‑lift surgery starts at $13,500 and covers your board‑certified surgeon, accredited operating suite, anesthesia, and 12‑month doctor‑guided follow‑up. With approved credit, payments can be $150–$250 per month after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes—mastopexy is an outpatient procedure. You’ll spend about an hour in recovery, then a trusted adult can drive you home.
Will I need drains, special garments, or massages?
No drains at Leva Medical. Our precision technique minimizes bleeding. Wear a supportive surgical bra for two weeks; no lymphatic massages or recovery houses are required.
Are there alternative procedures or complementary add‑ons?
Many patients add silicone implants for extra volume or pair the lift with liposuction of the axillary roll for smoother side contours.
Does the surgery hurt?
Expect mild tightness or soreness for 1–3 days, managed with prescription or OTC pain relievers.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are placed in natural breast lines and typically fade from pink to a fine line within 6–12 months, hidden by most bras and swimwear.
How soon can I return to exercise?
Resume light cardio and lower‑body workouts after week 4; wait until week 6 for heavy lifting and upper‑body routines.
Do I need a mammogram or breast ultrasound before surgery?

Age 40 + Provide a screening mammogram from the past 12 months.

Ages 30–39 with higher risk (BRCA mutation, strong family history, dense breasts, or a suspicious lump) – Diagnostic mammogram and/or targeted ultrasound.

Under 30 or pregnant – Imaging only if a mass or tenderness is present. Any new lump, discharge, or abnormal study must be evaluated before surgery.

How long do results last?
With stable weight and supportive bras, your uplift can last 10 years or more before natural aging may prompt a minor touch‑up.
