SHOP NOWBreast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of breasts that are sagging due to age, weight fluctuation, or genetic ptosis. During the breast lift surgery, the tissue around the breasts is tightened and excess skin is removed to reshape and recontour the bust.1 Dr. Tal Roudner’s surgical goal in a breast lift is to revive a youthful breast appearance by restoring the shape and projection of the breast while minimizing visible scars, whether you’re in Miami or anywhere else in the world. A breast lift may be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation or as part of a mommy makeover.

- Restore breasts that have lost volume as a result of weight loss
- Alleviate the physical discomfort of pendulous breasts
- Reverse the effects of gravity and aging, which can cause breasts to sag
- Achieve perky, symmetrical breasts even if sagging or asymmetry is genetic
Who Gets Breast Lift Surgery?
Plastic surgery patients are a diverse group, and there is no one particular type of woman who decides to have breast lift surgery. Breast lift patients span all ages, although women generally wait until they are finished with childbearing to undergo breast lift surgery. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 113,000 women had breast lift surgery in 2019.2
Am I A Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery?
You may be a candidate for breast lift surgery if you are unhappy with the shape of your breasts due to sagging, low nipple placement, or asymmetry. In general, breast lift candidates should:
-
- Be in good health and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Be non-smokers or stop smoking at least 4 weeks prior to surgery
- Have realistic expectations.
A breast lift alone cannot add size, so if you are unhappy with the size of your breasts you may consider breast augmentation with breast lift surgery. Learn more about deciding if a breast lift, breast implants, or both are right for you
The best way to determine if you are a candidate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tal Roudner.

All of these factors are important in determining the right approach to take for your breast lift surgery.

If the choice is made to proceed, the office staff will schedule your surgery to take place either at our state-of-the-art surgical suite in Miami, one of Miami’s excellent local hospitals or ambulatory centers depending on your specific needs.
The circumareolar, also known as donut lift (donut mastopexy), is a technique that involves a circular incision made around the areola. This technique is best used for smaller breasts and minimal sagging (ptosis) and achieves a small degree of lift.
The vertical technique is an extension of the circumareolar incision and involves a v-shaped incision that is an extension from the inferior portion of the circumareolar incision and continues down to the inferior mid-line of the breast. This breast lift procedure, although more invasive, achieves a greater degree of lift. This technique is best used for larger breasts and moderate to severe breast ptosis.
The anchor technique involves an extension of the vertical technique and has an anchor-shaped incision. It includes the circumareolar incision, the vertical incision down to the inferior mid-line of the breast, and then laterally across the lower portion of the breast. This technique is the most invasive type of breast lift and achieves the greatest breast lift. This technique is best used for larger breasts and severe breast ptosis.
