What is a breast lift?

During a breast lift, Dr. Lind will remove excess, sagging skin from the chest, lifting the breasts, along with the nipples, to a more youthful position. He will focus on achieving a symmetrical, balanced result that is well-suited to your unique anatomy. Enlarged areolas or nipples can be refined to complement your newly reshaped breasts.

Why get a breast lift?

Dr. Lind's breast lift procedure in Houston provides his patients with a more youthful-looking physique, a better fit in bras, tops, and swimsuits, and enhanced self-confidence both socially and professionally.

  • Low-hanging nipples
  • Pendulous breasts
  • Asymmetrical breasts
  • Enlarged areolas
  • Moderate to severe breast ptosis

  • Anesthesia – You will receive either general anesthesia or IV sedation that will ensure your comfort is optimized throughout the procedure. Dr. Lind will recommend the best choice during your private consultation.
  • The incision – Dr. Lind will create an incision around the areola, around the areola and down the breast vertically (lollipop,) or around the areola, down the breast vertically, and across the breast crease horizontally (anchor.) He will explain the advantages of each choice during your consultation.
  • Reshaping your breasts – Once the incisions have been made, Dr. Lind will remove excess skin and tissue to create perkier breasts that are attractive and feminine.
  • Repositioning the nipples – Dr. Lind will address enlarged areolas and move the nipples to a more youthful-looking location that is appropriate for your new breast shape.
  • Closing the incisions – After the breasts have been properly contoured and the remaining skin has been sufficiently tightened, Dr. Lind will close the wounds with sutures and place you in the recovery suite.
