Breast Lift Surgery: Restore Youthful Contours and Confidence
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a transformative procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breast tissue, restoring a youthful, perky appearance. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can cause the breasts to lose firmness and elasticity. A breast lift addresses these concerns by removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola. For those seeking additional volume or enhanced curves, this procedure can be combined with breast implants to achieve dramatic, balanced results.
At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, Dr. Niki Christopoulos, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, offers personalized breast lift procedures tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and goals. Whether you’re looking to restore your pre-pregnancy shape, improve symmetry, or achieve a more youthful silhouette, Dr. Christopoulos’s expertise ensures natural-looking results that align perfectly with your vision.

Types of Breast Lift Techniques
Dr. Christopoulos specializes in advanced breast lift techniques designed to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results while minimizing scarring. The technique used will depend on your anatomy, goals, and the degree of lift required.
Concentric Mastopexy (Peri-Areolar Breast Lift)
For patients seeking a mild lift, this technique involves a single incision around the areola. It’s ideal for those looking to make subtle improvements while preserving a natural appearance.
Vertical Breast Lift (Lollipop Incision)
This technique includes an incision around the areola and a vertical incision down to the breast crease. It’s the perfect choice for patients requiring a moderate lift, offering noticeable reshaping while maintaining minimal visible scarring.
Anchor Breast Lift (Inverted T Incision)
This comprehensive technique is best for patients with significant sagging or excess skin. Incisions are made around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the breast crease, allowing for maximum reshaping and lifting.
Dr. Christopoulos will carefully evaluate your needs and recommend the technique that will provide the most flattering and natural results.
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery from a breast lift is typically smooth and manageable, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Here’s what you can expect during the healing process:
- Initial Recovery: Bruising, swelling, and mild tenderness are normal after the procedure but subside within the first few weeks. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to work within a week.
- Post-Surgery Care: Dr. Christopoulos will recommend wearing a supportive bra to aid healing and maintain the new breast shape.
- Activity Restrictions: Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks to allow the tissues to heal properly.
Your results will continue to improve as swelling subsides, revealing beautifully lifted and contoured breasts. Dr. Christopoulos and her team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available to answer any questions throughout your recovery.
