What Is A Breast Lift?
A breast lift (also called mastopexy) is a body contouring procedure that repositions the breast position by removing excess skin for a firmer, perkier appearance. Breast lift surgery is sometimes recommended for women who have lost breast fullness and shape or those who are experiencing sagging breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. At Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery in Sherman, TX, we incorporate the latest surgical techniques to create a more youthful aesthetic that lasts. To learn more about breast lift surgery and how this treatment can enhance both your figure and your confidence, contact our practice and arrange your appointment with Dr. Chirag Mehta.
How Do You Perform Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift surgery usually takes 2 – 4 hours and is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. The length of time for your breast lift will depend on the level of sagging you're dealing with and your goals. The surgical technique used for cosmetic breast lift surgery generally falls under two categories — the technique is defined by the size, location, and nature of the incision. The inverted-T (known as an anchor) and the vertical incisions (lollipop) are the most commonly used types. After making the incision, Dr. Mehta will remove any excess skin, fat, and breast tissue. He will then tighten and suture the breast tissue and skin in place to create a lifted appearance. In many cases, he may also alter the size and shape of the areola to ensure it looks natural and fits the new shape of the breast.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery?
Sagging breasts can give you an aged appearance and significantly affect your confidence, especially when wearing more revealing clothes. Breast lift surgery at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery can help you regain your youthful curves with benefits that include:
- Raises the breasts for a more youthful, contoured look
- Gives the breasts a firmer look and feel

Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr Mehta is very friendly and personable. He doesn’t make you feel rushed or like any question is stupid. The whole Sherman office staff is extremely friendly and Courtney V a surgical nurse was very helpful and caring. Was very impressed and would highly recommend anyone to him. I had implants that were nearing 20 years old and they had become uncomfortable as I had gained weight thru the years. He removed them and I had a breast lift done. He did an amazing job.
Dr Mehta performed my trigger finger surgery and I've had terrific results. I had abdominoplasty-extended with flank and central liposuction plus mastopexy in Dec 2023. The results I've had with this surgery has surpassed all of my expectations in my wildest dreams! I couldn't have asked for better results ! Dr Mehta and his staff are awesome and I would recommend them for anyone looking for skilled surgeon that truly cares for his patients!
I am 100% excited to write this review! I had a breast lift and tummy tuck and WOW-Dr Mehta was/is wonderful to work with. He met & exceeded my expectations for what I wanted from this surgery and was very detailed about the process as well as immediate after surgery concerns and goals for myself and my body throughout the entire healing process. No question went unanswered from anyone I asked. The nurses and ALL staff are knowledgeable, available at any moment, and very friendly and fun to be around even when you are sore and can’t walk well yet-haha I can hardly wait to post picks this summer! Thankyou Thankyou to the “entire office” doctor, nurses, surgical team, staff and everyone in the Sherman facility who guided and helped me through the process, you guys are rockstars and I look and feel amazing!
Dr. Mehta has been wonderful from my first consultation appointment to surgery to the follow-up care. He always takes the time to answer all my questions and make me feel comfortable. I am beyond happy with the results of my breast lift and augmentation. Dr. Mehta and his staff in Sherman are amazing! I have recommend him to others and will continue to see Dr. Mehta for any future procedures. April
Amazing results - this experience has been life changing for me - Dr. Mehta and his team were absolutely amazing! In December, Dr. Mehta completed a mommy maker for me which included a tummy tuck and breast lift. During our initial consultation, he was fantastic. He listened to what I wanted and gave honest recommendations for what would be best. He took his time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. I was so impressed, I booked my surgery date the same day! After the surgery, he and his staff were very attentive. My follow up appointments were always great. He takes the healing process of his patients very seriously to ensure nothing goes wrong. I had no worries at all under his care. Now that I have completed recovery, the results are far more amazing than I could have ever imagined! This experience has been life changing for me…all thanks to Dr. Mehta.

Is a Breast Lift Right for Me?
You may come to Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery believing you are a candidate for implants only; however, after a private assessment, you may discover that breast lift surgery is a better choice. This is dependent on the level of breast sagging that is shown. Breasts that point downward usually need a lift to correct skin irregularities and lift the breasts to a perkier position. If you have nipples that droop downward and your breasts look elongated, a lift surgery can improve their appearance. If you are contemplating a breast lift, you need to be physically healthy and at a good weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does aging affect the results of a breast lift?
As the skin loses elasticity with age, the results of a breast lift might gradually diminish over time. The breasts can start to sag again due to natural aging and gravity. However, the extent of these changes depends on individual factors such as skin quality and overall health. Patients are advised to maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to prolong the effects of the surgery.
Can a breast lift reduce discomfort associated with overly large breasts?
While a breast lift primarily aims to elevate and reshape sagging breasts, it can indirectly relieve some discomfort by repositioning the breast tissue. This might alleviate some strain on the shoulders and back. However, it's important to note that a breast lift does not significantly reduce breast size; patients with substantial discomfort may need to consider a breast reduction instead.
Are there nonsurgical alternatives to a breast lift?
Nonsurgical treatments like laser therapy, radiofrequency, and ultrasound may provide mild lifting effects by tightening the skin. However, these methods cannot achieve the same results as a surgical breast lift, especially for those with significant sagging.
