Enhance Your Bustline, Boost Your Confidence
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, will remove excess skin and breast tissue and lift your bustline to create firmer, perkier breasts and a more youthful contour. Following breast lift surgery, your clothes may hug you in all the right places, and you can step out into the world with boosted pride and self-esteem. At Tarrant Plastic Surgery, our patients' results look completely natural. Reach out to our Fort Worth plastic surgery practice to learn how a mastopexy can enhance your quality of life.

Stretched or oversized areolas can be addressed during a breast lift to complement your breasts for comprehensive results.Extra Skin

What Does a Breast Lift
Look Like?
We believe in sharing real results with our patients to earn their trust — and show them what is genuinely possible. For example, Dr. Rumalla paired a breast lift with breast augmentation to correct the effects of this patient's pregnancy and subsequent weight loss. You can also explore more breast lift results through the hundreds of beautiful cases in our photo gallery.
Our Advanced Techniques Create Superior Results
Breast lift procedures are performed through different incision patterns based on breast ptosis (degree of sagging) and cosmetic goals. In general, the more significant the breast ptosis, the more complex the incision pattern will need to be. Adding breast augmentation to your treatment plan will also affect which incision Dr. Rumalla will use. Your procedure will be conducted using one of these techniques:
Donut Lift
A donut lift requires an incision around the areola. Typically, our plastic surgeon performs this incision for patients with naturally smaller breasts who have mild sagging. The incision is easily concealed around the areola, so there is minimal scarring.
Lollipop Lift
The lollipop lift (or vertical lift) makes the same incision as a donut lift, plus a vertical incision down the underside of your breast. Our plastic surgeon uses this incision type for patients with mild-to-moderate sagging who want to raise the areola, adjust its size, and tighten their breast tissue.
Anchor Lift
The anchor lift is the most complex incision type and is typically used for patients with severe sagging. Our plastic surgeon will make three incisions: one around the areola, one down the underside of the breast, and one underneath the breast crease.
We encourage you to view our educational videos to learn more about these techniques.

Results That Change Lives
"Dr. Rumalla is truly FANTASTIC!! I can't say enough about him and his staff. I was involved in a terrible accident in 2021...I was incredibly scared and torn on what to do, but he walked me through the entire process and I ended up getting a full mommy makeover (tummy tuck, breast lift, and lipo)
The ending results were more than I could ever ask for. I got my life, beauty, and confidence back all thanks to the amazing work he performed. Not to mention, he found more damage inside during surgery and fixed me up without question or hesitation. He will forever have me as a patient!!" Chassidy Mead
What to Expect During Your Breast Lift Surgery
The first step towards achieving a perkier bustline is to request a consultation at our Fort Worth plastic surgery office. During your consultation, Dr. Rumalla will review your aesthetic goals and create a customized treatment plan that meets your needs. Your procedure will involve several steps:
Our private surgery center is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, ensuring the highest standards for safety at all times.
Recovering From Your Breast Lift
While every patient will have a slightly different recovery process, here is what you can generally expect after your surgery:
Managing Discomfort
Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are completely normal following breast lift surgery. These effects typically peak in the first week of recovery and begin to subside after about two weeks. Dr. Rumalla can prescribe medication to help you manage discomfort.
Wearing Bandages and a Compression Bra
Your incisions will be covered by bandages before you return home from the procedure. Do not remove the dressings until Dr. Rumalla instructs you to do so. We will also provide you with a compression garment to wear around your chest. This surgical bra promotes proper healing and should be worn regularly for several weeks.
Taking Time Off
Plan for a friend or family member to drive you home after surgery and assist you around the house for a day or two. You will need to get plenty of rest and limit your movement in the first 48 hours after surgery. After that, you can begin gradually increasing your activity level. Most patients can return to work in about seven to 10 days following treatment.
If you have questions at any time during your recovery, please contact our Fort Worth practice for assistance.
When Will I See My Results?
You will be able to see a difference in the shape and tone of your breasts almost immediately after surgery. However, you need to wait for any swelling to subside before you can get a true sense of your results. Total recovery generally takes two to three months, and your changes will become more and more apparent throughout the healing process.
Why Breast Lift
With Augmentation
Is So Popular
By this point, you understand that a breast lift reshapes your bust line and addresses sagging. But a mastopexy on its own does not dramatically add to your cup size. On the other hand, breast augmentation does not substantially improve sagging.
The good news is it's safe and effective to combine the two. Choosing to enhance these aspects of your breasts at the same time not only provides complementary results. It can also cut down on your recovery time and time spent away from work and other activities. If you think you could benefit from combined breast enhancement procedures, make sure to discuss your goals with Dr. Rumalla during a consultation.
Combining Breast Surgery Techniques
Breast Augmentation With Lift
Many patients undergoing a breast lift also desire a fuller cup size. Supplementing the natural breast tissue with implants is known as breast augmentation surgery. While not all surgeons offer breast augmentation and mastopexy, Dr. Rumalla has developed surgical techniques to limit risk factors and achieve stunning results. You can choose from either saline or silicone breast implants in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. We will perform the lift and augmentation through the same incision to reduce visible scarring.
Breast Reduction With Lift
Patients with very large breasts may desire a breast reduction to alleviate discomfort and improve the proportions of their figures. Dr. Rumalla can combine breast reduction and breast lift techniques to remove excess skin and breast tissue and lift your bust in a single surgery. During the procedure, we may also use liposuction to remove additional fat cells. Once we achieve the ideal size, we will tighten and trim away excess skin to increase the perkiness of your breasts.
Have More Concerns? You Could Be a Mommy Makeover Candidate
Our Fort Worth plastic surgeon offers mommy makeovers. These personalized plans allow him to combine options that fully treat concerns impacting your breasts, stomach, and more. He can pair a breast lift with choices like tummy tuck and liposuction to restore your confidence and completely rejuvenate your figure.
Don't Forget: Discounts Are Available
While the incredible benefits of combining a breast lift with a breast augmentation are enticing for many patients, some worry that the cost of two different surgeries is too much for them. Remember, we offer discounts for patients who book multiple procedures at the same time.
Breast Lift FAQ
How long does a breast lift last?
Many patients enjoy their results for over a decade and, if no implants were placed, never require additional procedures. However, the breasts change naturally as you age, so it's hard to determine exactly how long your results will last. Factors that affect the longevity of the results include your age, weight fluctuation, hormone changes, pregnancy, and general health.
Is breast lift recovery painful?
At Tarrant Plastic Surgery, we use local anesthesia to completely numb the area. Its numbing effect will continue for some time after the procedure has ended. Most patients simply require ice packs, rest, and less than a couple of days of prescription pain medication.
When can I get back to my normal activities?
Many of our breast lift patients can work on their computer from home in just three days. They're driving in five days and taking walks around their neighborhood in 10 days. Patients can ride bikes at three weeks, run and lift light weights at four weeks, swim and perform higher intensity aerobic routines at six weeks, and play golf or tennis at eight weeks.
Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?
Most breast lift procedures are designed to preserve any future lactation function of the breast. However, a few challenges may arise. Patients may experience decreased quantity of milk, difficulty of milk letdown, or latching issues. Fortunately, many of our breast lift patients have gone on to successfully breastfeed their children.
