What Is A Breast Lift?
Time and life experiences can change the way our bodies look and feel, and for many, this includes the shape and position of the breasts. A breast lift at Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. reshapes and elevates the breasts to improve their appearance. This procedure can address sagging caused by aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or other changes over time. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and the surrounding tissue is reshaped to restore firmness and contour. It does not increase breast size, but it can be combined with implants for added volume if desired. Contact our Centerville, OH practice for cost or insurance coverage questions. Schedule a surgical consultation for questions about a breast lift. We can help you feel more comfortable with your appearance.
How Is A Breast Lift Performed?
A breast lift is a highly customizable procedure. The type of lift depends on the degree of sagging and the desired results. Our surgeon will discuss the right technique for you during your consultation. Our team will prioritize minimizing breast lift scars while delivering results that align with your goals. Three common types of lifts include:
- Crescent lift: This method involves a small incision along the upper edge of the areola. It is typically used for patients with minimal sagging.
- Peri-areolar lift: Also known as a "donut lift," this approach uses a circular incision around the areola. It is suitable for mild to moderate sagging.
- Anchor lift: This technique is for significant sagging and uses three incisions — around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease. It allows for substantial reshaping and lifting.

Breast Lift Reviews
I am 6 weeks post-op from abdominoplasty (w/ lipo of the flanks) and mastopexy with Dr. Schmidt. He is an incredible surgeon who provides beautiful results. All of my pre-op and post-op appointments were on time and concise. Dr. Schmidt and the entire team at PSID value patients’ time. I’m incredibly grateful for the gifts of Dr. Schmidt and his team.
I cannot speak enough good about my experience. I was so unsure for so long to do something for me, and I regret nothing. My husband and I came to our consultation with Dr. Fox for abdominoplasty and a breast lift. He came in wearing nice street clothes (huge anxiety reducer-huge) and very much to the point with all information . We decided on our way home, he’s it. He’s real. Surgery was great. He wanted to be sure all was okay and gave his personal number to my husband to text in the morning. Also brought me in when I had a concern ( was not his fault, sometimes things just happen). Nothing major at all. I love my results. If it’s only going to get better from October, I’m already floored. Dr Fox, the staff, the nurses, everything…I’d do it all again tomorrow.

I had a tummy tuck and breast lift with Dr. Fox and he was amazing. Everyone at the office is helpful and knowledgeable. I had my surgery in October 2025 and healing wonderfully. Everyone says he did an amazing job and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for doing a great job!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much higher will my nipples be after a breast lift?
The nipple is repositioned to a more youthful height that matches your breast shape and proportions. The exact amount varies, but the goal is symmetry and a natural, lifted look rather than an overly elevated appearance. Our team will tailor the positioning to complement your frame.
Can I still breastfeed after a breast lift?
Most women retain their ability to breastfeed after a lift because the glandular tissue and ducts are typically left intact. However, every body heals differently, and breastfeeding cannot be guaranteed. Our team will review what is likely for your anatomy and goals.
Will my bra size go down after a breast lift?
A lift reshapes existing tissue rather than removing it, but many patients notice a slightly smaller cup size due to improved positioning and reduced sagging. The breasts often look fuller and more balanced despite the change in measurement. Our team will discuss how your anatomy may respond to surgery.
