What is Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is a procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. In addition, the surgery repositions the nipples for a more youthful and proportionate appearance.
Reasons for Breast Lift Surgery
- Breast Sagging (Ptosis) – Reposition loose skin from aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
- Nipple Positioning – Elevate nipples pointing downward.
- Uneven Breasts – Correct asymmetry for a more balanced proportion.
- Enhancing Breast Profile – Restore a more youthful breast shape.
- Wide Flattened Shape – Tighten excess skin that reaches into the armpit area
Breast Lift Techniques
- Crescent Lift – A minimal lift for mild sagging.
- Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift – For moderate sagging and nipple repositioning.
- Vertical (Lollipop) Lift – For moderate to severe sagging, removing excess skin.
- Anchor Lift – For significant sagging, creating a dramatic lift and reshaping.

What Sets Our Practice Apart
Choosing a surgeon is an important decision—and we believe you deserve to know who will be performing your procedure. At our clinic, Dr. Jenq performs every part of the surgery herself, from start to finish. Unlike some practices where surgical tasks may be delegated to trainees, residents, or surgical technicians, your care will never be passed off to someone else. This direct attention not only supports safety and consistency but ensures that your experience is truly individualized.
Another key benefit of our approach is that we do not use surgical drains. Many patients are relieved to learn this, as drains can be uncomfortable and can prolong recovery. With advanced quilting suture techniques, Dr. Jenq minimizes fluid buildup to support a smoother healing process—without the need for external drains.
Additionally, all of our surgeries are performed as outpatient procedures, meaning you’ll go home the same day. Most surgeries are completed in three hours, and patients can typically return to light daily activities within a week. We understand the importance of clear recovery expectations and are here to support you through every phase.
