Breast Lift
in Scottsdale

A breast lift alone is the right choice when you have enough volume but your breasts have descended, the nipple sits at or below the inframammary fold, or the breast shape has flattened over time. You can expect firmer, perkier breasts at the same approximate size.

If you want both lift and more volume, augmentation with lift combines implants with the mastopexy procedure. If you've simply lost volume (common after breastfeeding) but the breast position is still good, a simple augmentation may be enough. Dr. Mata will help you understand which approach matches your anatomy at consultation.

Breast lift scars follow predictable patterns, and which one you need depends on how much tissue must be repositioned. The three common patterns are: peri-areolar (around the nipple only — minimal lift), vertical or "lollipop" (around the nipple plus a vertical line to the fold — moderate lift), and anchor or "Wise-pattern" (peri-areolar, vertical, and along the fold — significant lift).

Dr. Mata uses the minimum scar pattern that will achieve your result. Scars fade significantly over 12–18 months with proper care, though they never disappear entirely.

Breast lift results typically last 10–15 years or more. Gravity, aging, weight fluctuation, and additional pregnancies will all continue to affect the breasts — a lift doesn't stop time, but it resets it meaningfully.

The longevity of your result depends heavily on factors within your control: maintaining a stable weight, wearing a supportive bra consistently, and avoiding smoking. For patients who plan future pregnancies, we typically recommend waiting until your family is complete before proceeding.
