Breast Lift in Plano, TX

The breasts begin to sag and lose firmness due to aging, which can be accelerated by pregnancy and breastfeeding. The Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas offers breast lift procedures to help women regain the youthful perkiness of the breasts. We welcome patients from Dallas, Frisco, Plano, and the surrounding areas of northeast Texas.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a surgical technique that can restore shape and firmness to the breasts after they have changed due to pregnancy or the natural aging process. Although a breast lift can correct sagging as well as the shape and location of the nipple, it cannot restore volume to the breasts. For this reason, many patients who choose to have a breast lift combine their procedure with a breast augmentation.

How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost in Plano, TX?

The cost of a breast lift can range from $7,000 to $10,000, depending on the extent of treatment necessary to deliver your desired results. If you are considering a breast lift, we ask that you come in for a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this time, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that will include the exact cost of treatment. At the Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas, we offer flexible financing options and accept all major credit cards to keep this treatment affordable and accessible.

How is a Breast Lift Performed?

Typically, breast lifts are performed using an anchor-shaped incision that surrounds the nipple and extends downward. Through this incision, we are able to eliminate excess skin and fat, reshaping the breast to match your aesthetic goals. At this time, we can also adjust the shape and location of the nipple to center it on the breasts. Patients with smaller breasts may be eligible for a smaller incision, reducing scarring that remains after the procedure. Here at Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas we offer our patients a complimentary laser scar treatment made by Sciton®.

What is Recovery Like After a Breast Lift?

After your breast lift, you will wear either a surgical bra or a bandage around the breasts to ensure proper healing. You may also experience bruising, discomfort, and swelling for several days after your treatment. It will be about two weeks before you can have your stitches removed. During this time, it will be necessary to take time off of work or other activities to ensure that the body can heal properly. At your initial consultation, we will provide you with additional instructions regarding your recovery and what you can expect after your procedure.

Is a Breast Lift Right for Me?

A breast lift is a great option for women who would like to restore shape and youthfulness to the breasts. However, a breast lift cannot prevent future changes in the breasts, so it may not be suitable for women who plan on getting pregnant in the future. As with all cosmetic surgeries, it is important to have realistic expectations going into your procedure. If you are considering a breast lift, we invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your cosmetic goals and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Breast Lift Painful?

With modern surgery and anesthetic techniques, the breast lift procedure is completely painless. However, you can expect some discomfort, bruising and swelling following your breast lift procedure. We will provide you with pain medications and advise you of some other techniques for reducing pain during your recovery period.

Will Your Breasts Sag After a Breast Lift?

The breast lift procedure is performed to eliminate sagging breasts, and will produce long-lasting results. However, you will still develop changes in the breast due to pregnancy or the natural aging process. For these reasons, you may notice gradual sagging over time, and we encourage patients to postpone their breast lift procedure until they are no longer having children.

What Can You Do After a Breast Lift?

After your breast lift procedure, you’ll need to take a minimum of one week off from work and other obligations so that you can rest and heal. During this time, we recommend that patients sleep on their back and avoid any activities that may stress the breasts and the surgical incisions. Specifically, exercise and strenuous activities should be avoided for at least a month after treatment.

Will Insurance Cover a Breast Lift?

As cosmetic procedures, breast lifts are generally not covered by insurance. However, you may receive full or partial coverage if your breast lift is a component of a mastectomy breast reconstruction treatment. There are also financing options available to help make your treatment more affordable.
