Breast Lift in Miami

Provocative Plastic Surgery

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is far more than a simple cosmetic tweak—it’s a life-affirming transformation that restores youthful contours, elevates your silhouette, and brings renewed confidence. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, and the inexorable pull of gravity can lead to sagging, loss of upper-pole fullness, and downward-pointing nipples. At Provocative Plastic Surgery, we recognize that every woman’s journey is unique. That’s why our breast lift program combines artistic surgical design, evidence-based techniques, and a compassionate, patient-first philosophy to craft results that look naturally perky and feel authentically you.

From your very first call to schedule a consultation, you’ll experience our unwavering commitment to safety, comfort, and superior outcomes. We begin by listening—understanding your goals, lifestyle, and anatomic considerations—and then guide you step by step through personalized planning, advanced lift patterns, and meticulous aftercare. Our aim is to deliver a beautifully elevated breast profile that not only complements your body proportions but also endures, so you can embrace your reflection with pride for years to come.

Breast Lift Surgical Techniques

Crescent Lift

  • Ideal For: Mild ptosis requiring minimal elevation (<2 cm).

  • Incision: Small crescent-shaped excision at the upper areolar border.

  • Benefits: Quick recovery, minimal scarring.

  • Limitations: Limited lift potential; best for subtle repositioning.

Periareolar (Donut) Lift

  • Ideal For: Mild to moderate sagging and areolar enlargement.

  • Incision: Circular excision around the areola.

  • Benefits: Scar camouflaged at areolar edge; areolar size reduction.

  • Limitations: Potential for scar widening; moderate lift only.

Vertical (Lollipop) Lift

  • Ideal For: Moderate ptosis with need for greater reshaping.

  • Incision: Periareolar plus vertical down to inframammary fold.

  • Benefits: Enhanced lift and contour; less scarring than full anchor.

  • Limitations: Vertical scar on lower pole.

Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift

  • Ideal For: Severe sagging, significant skin excess.

  • Incision: Periareolar, vertical, and horizontal along inframammary fold.

  • Benefits: Maximum skin removal and reshaping.

  • Limitations: Most extensive scarring; longer recovery for tension management.

Auto-Augmentation

  • Ideal For: Desire for lift plus subtle upper-pole fullness without implants.

  • Technique: Lower-pole tissue is transposed beneath the nipple to enhance projection.

  • Benefits: Uses your own tissue; natural feel.

  • Limitations: Dependent on available native tissue; limited volume gain.

Understanding Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery, clinically known as mastopexy, involves the removal of excess skin, repositioning of the nipple–areolar complex, and reshaping of breast tissue to create a more youthful and uplifted appearance. Unlike augmentation, which adds volume via implants, a lift focuses on contour refinement and repositioning. Many patients combine a lift with modest augmentation (lift-augmentation) to both elevate and volumize, but a stand-alone mastopexy can deliver dramatic improvement for those content with their current breast volume.

 

Key goals of a breast lift include:

  1. Elevation of the Nipple–Areolar Complex: Restoring the nipple to a higher, more central position on the breast mound.

  2. Reshaping and Firming: Tightening breast tissue and re-coning the breast to create a rounded, perky profile.

  3. Excess Skin Removal: Excising redundant skin that contributes to sagging and loss of definition.

  4. Symmetry Optimization: Balancing differences in breast height, shape, and nipple position for a more harmonious look.

  5. Long-Lasting Contours: Designing lifts that maintain shape over time, accounting for tissue support and elasticity.

 

Our surgeons draw on decades of combined experience to tailor flap design, incision patterns, and tissue handling to your unique anatomy—achieving results that align with your aesthetic vision and lifestyle.

Breast Lift Implant Options

Silicone Gel Implants

  • Provide a natural feel and movement, closely resembling natural breast tissue.

  • Less risk of visible rippling compared to saline, making them ideal for women with thinner breast tissue.

  • Available in various shapes (round & teardrop) and profiles (low, moderate, high, or ultra-high projection).

  • Require regular monitoring via MRI to ensure integrity, as leaks may not be immediately noticeable.

Saline Implants

  • Filled with sterile saltwater solution after insertion, allowing for minor size adjustments during surgery.

  • Firmer feel compared to silicone, but often more affordable.

  • If ruptured, the saline is harmlessly absorbed by the body, making detection easier.

  • Best for women who want adjustable sizing or prefer a material that’s easily monitored.

Gummy Bear Implants 

  • Maintain their shape even if the implant shell breaks, thanks to their cohesive gel filling.

  • Ideal for a more structured, natural slope, especially in patients seeking a teardrop shape.

  • Require a slightly longer incision due to their firmer composition.

  • Less likely to shift or wrinkle over time compared to traditional silicone.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

  • Uses your body’s own fat (harvested via liposuction) for a subtle enhancement.

  • No implants required, reducing risks associated with foreign materials.

  • Best for patients seeking a modest increase (typically up to one cup size).

  • Provides the added benefit of body contouring in the donor area (e.g., abdomen, thighs).

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift in Miami

You may be a great candidate for breast lift surgery if:

Ideal candidates for a breast lift share several common traits:

Noticeable Breast Sagging (Ptosis)
Nipples that point downward, sit below the inframammary fold, or loss of upper-pole fullness are classic indications.

  • Good General Health
    Absence of uncontrolled medical conditions, stable weight, and the ability to tolerate anesthesia safely.

  • Realistic Expectations
    Understanding the capabilities and limitations of mastopexy techniques fosters satisfaction with the outcome.

  • Completion of Childbearing
    While lifts can be performed before future pregnancies, subsequent breastfeeding and weight changes may diminish lift effects.

  • Non-Smoker or Willing to Quit
    Smoking impairs healing; abstaining for at least four to six weeks before and after surgery optimizes safety.

  • Psychological Readiness
    Emotional stability, a supportive network, and informed consent are cornerstones of a successful journey.

 

During your private consultation, our team will review your full medical history (including any prior breast procedures), conduct a thorough breast exam, and—in coordination with your primary care physician—order any necessary imaging studies (mammogram or ultrasound) to ensure complete safety.

The Breast Lift Procedure: What to Expect

1. Comprehensive Health Assessment

  • Review of your medical history, medications, allergies, and lifestyle factors (exercise, occupation, smoking habits).

  • Discussion of any prior breast surgeries, biopsies, or radiation exposure.

2. Detailed Physical Examination

  • Measurements of breast base width, nipple-to-inframammary-fold distance, and skin quality.

  • Assessment of chest wall shape, breast tissue volume, and degree of ptosis.

3. In-Depth Goals Clarification

  • Exploration of your desired breast height, contour, and projection.

  • Digital imaging simulations and adjustable sizers to preview potential outcomes.

4. Technique Education

  • Explanation of lift patterns—crescent, periareolar, vertical, anchor, and auto-augmentation—and their scar trade-offs.

  • Discussion of when combining with implants or reduction may further refine your result.

5. Customized Surgical Blueprint

  • Formulation of an individualized plan that details lift pattern, incision placement, and supportive measures (internal sutures, mesh if indicated).

  • Coordination of preoperative testing: lab panels, EKG for appropriate patients, and age-appropriate breast imaging.

6. Financial & Scheduling Logistics

  • Transparent review of investment, financing options, and payment plans.

  • Flexible scheduling to align your procedure with personal and professional commitments.

Breast Implant Placement: Over vs. Under the Muscle

Subglandular Placement (Over the Muscle)

  • Pros:

    • Shorter recovery (less muscle manipulation).

    • More dramatic cleavage, ideal for patients with adequate natural tissue.

    • Natural movement with muscle flexion (e.g., during workouts).

  • Cons:

    • Higher risk of visible rippling in thin patients.

    • Less tissue coverage may make implants more palpable.

Best for: Women with moderate natural breast tissue seeking pronounced fullness.

Submuscular Placement (Under the Muscle)

  • Pros:

    • More natural appearance (muscle camouflages implant edges).

    • Lower risk of capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening).

    • Better mammogram visibility.

  • Cons:

    • Longer recovery (muscle requires healing).

    • Temporary distortion during chest muscle flexing.

Best for: Thin patients or those prioritizing a subtle, natural look.

Potential Risks and Safety Considerations

Scarring

  • All lift patterns produce scars; our advanced closure techniques and postoperative therapies minimize their appearance.

Sensation Changes

  • Temporary or permanent alterations in nipple or breast sensation may occur; most patients experience improvement over months.

Wound Healing Delays

  • Rare areas of delayed healing or minor wound separation; managed with local care or minor office-based revisions.

Asymmetry

  • Slight differences in shape, nipple height, or contour; often subtle, but touch-up procedures can perfect symmetry if desired.

Anesthesia Risks

  • While uncommon, anesthesia carries potential respiratory or cardiovascular events; mitigated by experienced, board-certified anesthesiologists.

Hematoma/Seroma

  • Blood or fluid collection under the skin; prompt drainage typically resolves the issue.

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost in Miami?

  • The average cost ranges from $6,000–$12,000, depending on:

  • Surgeon’s expertise (board certification adds value).

  • Implant type (silicone typically costs more than saline).

  • Facility fees (AAAASF-accredited ORs ensure safety).

  • Anesthesia fees (general vs. IV sedation).

  • Provocative Plastic Surgery offers:

  • Financing plans (CareCredit, Alphaeon, in-house payment options).

  • All-inclusive pricing (no hidden fees for follow-ups or revisions).

Achieving Natural, Long-Lasting Results

Our hallmark is a mastopexy outcome that looks effortless in clothing and unclothed—blending artistry with surgical precision:

  • Flap & Pedicle Design
    Customized flap patterns and pedicle choices ensure robust blood flow, sensation preservation, and structural support.

  • Supportive Suturing
    Internal, long-lasting sutures secure tissue elevation and counteract the pull of gravity over time.

  • Scar-Minimizing Closure
    Multi-layered closure techniques and fine, absorbable sutures reduce tension and promote fine-line scars.

  • Optional Adjuncts
    In select cases, supportive mesh or biologic scaffolds reinforce tissue and prolong lift durability—especially in patients with very lax skin.

  • Long-Term Follow-Up
    Scheduled visits to monitor shape retention, assess scar maturation, and guide supportive garment or bra selection.

 

By combining these strategies, we create a breast lift that stands the test of time—maintaining elevation, shape, and natural movement for years to come.
