Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy) in Seattle, WA
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that lifts and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipples to a more youthful position. At Sound Plastic Surgery, Dr. Joshua Cooper and Dr. Scott Sattler customize every breast lift procedure to help patients achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results that complement their bodies and aesthetic goals.
Breast Lift Surgery in Seattle
Over time, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, and gravity can all contribute to breast sagging and loss of firmness. Breast lift surgery restores a more youthful breast contour by elevating the breast tissue and nipples while improving breast shape and symmetry. A breast lift is designed to enhance the appearance of the breasts without significantly changing their size.
At Sound Plastic Surgery, every breast lift is carefully planned based on your anatomy, skin quality, and desired outcome to create balanced, proportionate results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if your breasts have begun to sag, your nipples point downward or fall below the breast crease, or you’ve noticed changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about their results.
During your consultation, one of our experienced plastic surgeons will evaluate your concerns and recommend the surgical approach that best meets your goals.
Combining Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation Surgery
While a breast lift improves breast position and shape, it does not add significant breast volume. If you would like fuller, rounder breasts in addition to a lifted appearance, you may benefit from combining a breast augmentation with a breast lift.
This combination procedure restores lost volume while lifting the breasts into a more youthful position, allowing patients to address multiple cosmetic concerns during a single surgery.
Breast Lift With Other Body Contouring Procedures
Many women incorporate mastopexy into a broader rejuvenation plan. A breast lift can be combined with breast reduction for lighter, smaller breasts, or with abdominal contouring procedures for a comprehensive transformation. Mommy makeovers often include mastopexy to address breast changes alongside tummy tucks or liposuction. Combining procedures in a single surgical session can simplify recovery and create more harmonious overall results.
What to Expect During Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical facility and usually takes about two hours. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to reshape the breasts, reposition the nipple and areola, and remove excess skin while creating the most natural-looking results possible. Drs. Cooper and Sattler are also very skilled at repositioning sagging breast tissue during the breast lift procedure to perform an “auto-augmentation.” This “auto-augmentation” technique is used to preserve as much breast tissue as possible for patients who are happy with their breast size in a bra. The breast tissue is repositioned internally to a higher position to both preserve breast volume and give the breast a more youthful appearance.
Breast Lift Recovery
Recovery after a breast lift procedure is generally smooth for most patients. While healing varies from person to person, many patients return to work and light daily activities within several days. Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected during the early stages of recovery and gradually improve over the following weeks.
Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting until cleared by their surgeon. Following your personalized recovery instructions and attending scheduled follow-up appointments help ensure optimal healing and beautiful long-term results.

Breast Lift FAQs
How long do breast lift results last?
A breast lift provides long-lasting results, but the natural aging process, gravity, weight changes, and pregnancy can affect your breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results for many years.
Will a breast lift make my breasts larger?
No. A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts but does not significantly increase breast size. If you would like more fullness or upper breast volume, your surgeon may recommend combining a breast lift with breast augmentation using implants.
Is breast lift surgery painful?
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during the first few days after surgery, which is typically well controlled with prescribed medication. Many patients are surprised by how manageable the recovery process is.
How long is the recovery after a breast lift?
Most patients return to office work and light daily activities within about one week. More strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks or until your surgeon clears you to resume normal activities.
Will I have scars after a breast lift?
Yes, breast lift surgery requires incisions, which result in permanent scars. However, our board-certified plastic surgeons carefully place incisions in as discreet a location as possible, and scars typically continue to fade over time with proper care.
Can I combine a breast lift with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation, tummy tuck, or liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your goals and recommend a personalized treatment plan to achieve your desired results safely.
