Changes from pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, and gravity can all affect the position and shape of the breasts over time. Many women notice sagging, stretched skin, or a loss of firmness, which makes them feel less confident about their appearance. A breast lift can help restore a more youthful, elevated contour while improving breast shape and symmetry.
Dr. Erin L. Doren provides breast lift surgery in Winfield, IL, with a compassionate and personalized approach focused on natural-looking results, safety, and patient comfort. With advanced training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Doren helps patients feel informed and supported throughout every step of their experience.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, also called mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipples. Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift focuses on improving breast position and contour rather than significantly increasing breast size.
Many women choose a breast lift to address:
-
Sagging breasts after pregnancy or breastfeeding
-
Loss of firmness due to aging
-
Changes after weight loss
-
Downward-pointing nipples
-
Uneven breast positioning
A breast lift may also be combined with breast augmentation for women who want additional fullness along with a lifted appearance.
Benefits of a Breast Lift
A breast lift can improve both breast appearance and overall body confidence by creating a firmer, more youthful contour.
Benefits of breast lift surgery may include:
-
Elevated breast position
-
Improved breast shape and symmetry
-
Firmer, more youthful-looking contours
-
Repositioned nipples and areolas
-
Better fit in bras and clothing
-
Increased confidence and comfort
Many patients find that a breast lift helps them feel more comfortable wearing fitted clothing, swimsuits, and bras again.
Candidates for a Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery may be a good option for women who are bothered by breast sagging or changes in breast shape and position.
You may be a candidate if you:
-
Notice sagging or drooping breasts
-
Have nipples that point downward

Experience stretched skin after pregnancy or weight loss
-

Depending on your needs, your surgical plan may include:
-
Reshaping breast tissue
-
Tightening stretched skin
-
Repositioning the nipples and areolas
-
Improving breast symmetry
