Restore a more youthful breast shape and position with a comprehensive breast lift. At Bloom Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery, we take an individualized approach to ensure your newly enhanced shape is balanced and proportional to your frame.

Bringing Back Shape, Elevation, and Confidence

The breasts naturally change over time, with aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations all affecting your chest contours. A breast lift in Bryn Mawr can help refresh your figure and bring your breasts to an elevated position that still feels authentic to your body. Here, we work with precision and intention to ensure harmony from head to toe.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that elevates and reshapes the breasts through careful tissue removal and repositioning. During surgery, we’ll remove excess skin from around the breast, contour the underlying tissue, and gently lift the breast to a higher, yet still natural-looking, position on the chest. Unlike other breast procedures, a lift does not focus on breast volume and will result in little to no changes to your breast size. Our breast lifts are designed to achieve the following results:

Correct asymmetry between the breasts
Improve breast positioning
Create more youthful contours
Restore nipple position

What to Expect From Your Breast Lift in Bryn Mawr

Customized Surgical Planning

Your journey with Bloom Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery will begin with a one-on-one consultation at our clinic. There, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and medical needs, and Dr. Malphrus will assess your breast tissue health and skin quality to determine if a breast lift is right for you. She’ll build a customized surgical plan that accounts for your desires and safely creates a more lifted breast.

Careful Incision Techniques

Dr. Malphrus is trained in all forms of mastopexy, and she’ll choose a strategic incision technique to maximize tissue access while minimizing scarring. Your incisions may be placed around the areola, vertically down the center of the breast, or along the breast crease at your ribs.

Purposeful Reshaping

During surgery, Dr. Malphrus will gently reposition the underlying breast tissue to create a more youthful, lifted look. Excess skin will be removed to avoid sagging, and the remaining skin will be redraped to sculpt your newly enhanced breasts. All incisions will be closed with small sutures to promote rapid healing and smooth, consistent scarring.

Nipple Repositioning

Depending on your breast anatomy and aesthetic preferences, your breast lift may include a slight nipple correction. Dr. Malphrus can elevate the nipple and areola to keep them balanced with your new breasts, avoiding a heavy, droopy, or downward-pointing look.

High-Touch Recovery

Recovery after a breast lift in Philadelphia typically involves swelling, tightness, and soreness around the breasts, which should resolve within two weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities, including gentle movement, desk work, and social gatherings, within two weeks, but you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise for up to two months. Our team will provide you with supportive surgical bras to help reduce swelling and support your breast tissue as it heals. After your procedure, you’ll receive a thorough recovery plan tailored to your procedure. This plan may include the following items:

Incision site care and cleaning protocols
Supportive garment guidelines
Activity limitations
Swelling and pain management strategies
Hygiene recommendations
Sleep position restrictions
Recovery clothing options
Surgical drain care, if applicable

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to our clinic for multiple follow-up appointments with Dr. Malphrus. There, she’ll remove any remaining sutures or drains, monitor your healing progress, and approve you for high-impact activities like contact sports, running, and intense exercise.

Beautiful, Transformative Results

It may take several weeks for all residual swelling to fade and for your newly enhanced breasts to take their final shape. Many patients report immediate improvement in their confidence after their procedure, with self-esteem continuing to grow as healing progresses. Your final breasts will sit naturally on your chest with a higher, more shapely look, and they’ll feel proportionate and aligned with your anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions Breast Lift

Will a breast lift increase my breast size?

Breast lifts do not address your breast volume or fullness. Any changes in your breast size will result from their newly lifted positioning. These changes will be minor and are not guaranteed.

Can I combine my breast lift with other procedures?

Yes. Many of our Bryn Mawr patients combine their breast lifts with a breast augmentation to improve volume and positioning. Discuss your options with Dr. Malphrus during your consultation.

How long will my results last?

Your breast lift results are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their results for 10-15 years. Aging and gravity will naturally influence breast shape over time, but maintaining a stable weight and healthy habits can extend the longevity of your outcome.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Most patients can still breastfeed after a breast lift, but this is not guaranteed. We recommend waiting until you are done expanding your family to receive a breast lift.
