Breast Lift in Minneapolis, MN

Aging, gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations can all cause unwanted changes in the breasts. Over time, breasts may start sagging and lose their natural firmness.

A breast lift (mastopexy) restores a perkier, more youthful contour by tightening the skin, lifting the tissue, and improving overall shape and position. At McCue Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan McCue brings more than 15 years of high-level breast surgery expertise to every procedure. He specializes in expertly restoring balance and contour to the upper body.

The Breast Lift Procedure

During a breast lift, Dr. McCue carefully removes extra, sagging skin and reshapes the underlying tissue to restore natural firmness and projection. He raises the nipple and areola to a more youthful position and can also reduce enlarged areolas if necessary.

Dr. McCue strategically places incisions to minimize visibility. Some of the approaches he may use are:

  • Periareolar (Donut) Incision: Around the edge of the areola. Can correct milder sagging.

  • Lollipop (Vertical) Incision: Circles the areola and extends vertically down to the breast crease. This approach allows for more significant reshaping and nipple repositioning.

  • Anchor (Inverted-T) Incision: Includes the lollipop pattern with a horizontal incision along the breast crease. This allows for significant reshaping and elevation in patients with more extensive sagging or extra skin to remove.

Every technique offers different benefits, and the best choice depends on your breast anatomy, skin elasticity, and personal goals.

Dr. McCue prioritizes both precision and aesthetics, ensuring each patient achieves results that complement their body shape and goals.

When to Consider a Breast Lift

You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if you notice:

  • Sagging or downward-pointing nipples

  • Cuts: Deep cuts can damage skin, the underlying soft tissues, or even bone.

  • Breast skin laxity and/or stretch marks after weight loss or pregnancy

  • Flattened, elongated, or deflated-looking breasts.

If you’re satisfied with your breast size but want to improve position and firmness, a breast lift alone may be ideal. Those seeking both lift and additional improvements, such as added fullness, can discuss the benefits of combining mastopexy with other procedures.

Combining Breast Lift With Other Procedures

Breast lift combines well with other procedures. For example, breast reduction and lift often go hand-in-hand for women with very large breasts.

On the other hand, some women with smaller breasts that sag may opt for a combination of breast augmentation and lift.

Whether performed on its own or as part of a combined procedure, a breast lift can enhance both confidence and comfort.
