Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is a cosmetic procedure to firm and raise the position of sagging breasts caused by the effects of gravity, weight changes, breastfeeding, pregnancy, and menopause. If you are unhappy with your chest, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sherif Khattab has years of experience performing the breast lift in Torrance at Beyond Beautiful.
You may want to consider breast lift surgery if you are experiencing one or more of the following:
As a general rule, breast lift surgery is ideal for women who are healthy, are at a stable weight, and do not intend to have more children. The best way to find out if you’re a good candidate for breast lift surgery is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Khattab.

For Dr. Khattab to determine if breast lift surgery is right for you, you’ll need to be honest and upfront about every aspect of your health. This includes current or former medical conditions, current drugs or supplements, and physical activities that you participate in. This information, combined with your cosmetic goals, will allow Dr. Khattab to determine if breast lift surgery is the best option available for you.
A breast lift is performed under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. Incisions are made around the areola, along the breast crease, and in a vertical line connecting them.
Through these incisions, Dr. Khattab will remove redundant skin and reposition the nipple to a higher location on the breast. During this process, the nipple and areola remain attached to the underlying tissue, reducing the risk of sensation loss. For some patients, other incision patterns may be appropriate.
When you wake up from surgery, you’ll likely experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Medication will be available for pain management. You must also wear a compression garment and support bra for several weeks to minimize swelling. Recovery times vary. Normal activities can usually be resumed within a week, and more strenuous tasks in 3-6 weeks.
It will take about two months for your breasts to heal and take their final shape. A breast lift should give your breasts better contour and a more youthful appearance. Following a full recovery, your breasts will be firmer, higher, and more rounded. A breast lift will not affect the size or volume of your breasts but will return them to their natural position.
The cost of your potential breast lift surgery will depend on the extent of tissue removal and alteration required, anesthesia fees, and other patient-specific factors. If you are concerned about the total price, we offer financing options through Prosper® and CareCredit® for qualifying patients.
