Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lift (mastopexy) performed by Dr. Jeffrey J. Roth MD FACS to reposition and reshape sagging breasts without adding volume. Starting at $11,000, the procedure elevates the nipple-areola complex and removes excess skin to create a firmer, more youthful breast contour. Suitable for patients who have experienced breast ptosis due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or ageing. Can be combined with implants for augmentation mastopexy at $15,000–$16,000.

A breast lift — medically termed mastopexy — at Las Vegas Plastic Surgery addresses breast ptosis (sagging) by surgically repositioning the breast tissue and nipple-areola complex to a more elevated, forward-projecting position on the chest wall, while removing the excess skin envelope that allows the breast to droop. Dr. Jeffrey J. Roth performs mastopexy in several incision patterns depending on the degree of ptosis: a periareolar (Benelli or donut) lift for mild ptosis; a vertical or lollipop lift for moderate ptosis, adding a vertical scar from the areola to the inframammary fold; and a full anchor or inverted-T pattern for significant ptosis, which additionally removes skin along the horizontal inframammary fold crease. The goal is to restore a youthful breast profile — upper pole fullness, a naturally projecting shape, and a nipple pointing forward at the level of the inframammary fold — while keeping scars as discreet as possible within the incision chosen. The procedure does not add volume; patients who wish to simultaneously restore lost fullness may opt for augmentation mastopexy (breast lift with implants), which combines the lift with silicone or saline implant placement and is priced at $15,000–$16,000. Common candidates for mastopexy include women who have experienced breast volume loss and sagging after pregnancy and breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or natural ageing. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately two to two and a half hours. Recovery is similar to breast augmentation, with a supportive bra worn continuously for the first few weeks, moderate activity restrictions for four to six weeks, and final scar maturation at twelve to eighteen months. Starting at $11,000.
