Breast Lift
Has breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or age caused your breasts to sag? Has this made you lose confidence in your appearance?
A breast lift can restore your youthful contours by raising your bustline and removing excess skin and fat.
Dr. Stephanie Peng in Minnetonka, MN, can perform a breast lift to enhance your figure and confidence with natural-looking results.
How a Breast Lift Works
Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure in which a plastic surgeon removes excess skin and breast tissue to lift the breasts, resulting in a more youthful appearance. The areolas can also be moved into a perkier position.
While the volume of the breasts is not reduced during this procedure, the overall shape and appearance of the breasts are improved. Breast lifts can help patients who have asymmetrical breasts, noticeably sagging breasts, flat or droopy breasts, downward-pointing nipples, and a variety of other concerns.
Breast Lift Benefits
Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging can affect the perkiness of your breasts. Sagging breasts can take a toll on your figure and make you feel self-conscious. Minnetonka and Minneapolis-area patients who choose our Minnetonka plastic surgery office for their breast lift can expect:
A Restored Feminine Figure
By lifting your bust and removing excess skin and fat, Dr. Peng can restore your perky bustline, improving breast symmetry and enhancing your feminine curves.
Reduced Irritation
Sagging breasts can rub the underlying skin and lead to chafing. A breast lift removes the excess skin and fat to eliminate the chafing and irritation caused by drooping breasts.
Enhanced Confidence
You can feel more confident and comfortable following your breast lift procedure. Clothes will hug you in all the right places, and you'll be ready to step into the world with a new sense of confidence.

How Our Plastic Surgeon Became Board-Certified
Choosing the right plastic surgeon to perform your mastopexy isn't an easy choice.
Fortunately, board certification is a prestigious distinction that can narrow your search for a plastic surgeon who can deliver the results you want.
Dr. Peng earned her certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery. To achieve this great honor, she had to pass difficult written and oral examinations that proved her knowledge and skill.
Surgeons don't have to be board certified, but choosing one who has earned this distinction makes it more likely that you will achieve an outcome that meets your goals.
The Cost of a Breast Lift
For a typical breast lift with no added procedures like breast augmentation, your cost could be between $7,000 and $9,000. The cost of your mastopexy will depend on your cosmetic goals.
Our Minnetonka, MN, practice offers flexible financing through CareCredit® that allows our patients to pay for their life-changing procedures in manageable monthly payments.

Breast Lift Surgical Options Which Incision Type Is Right for You?
At our Minnetonka, MN, practice, Dr. Peng uses two primary types of surgical techniques: the donut lift and the anchor lift. However, she can also use techniques that blend elements of both in order to meet your specific needs and goals. She will choose the incision type based on your desired results. Let's take a closer look:
Donut Lift
This incision type is best for plastic surgery patients with naturally smaller breasts and minimal sagging. One incision is made around the areola, which results in a small scar that is well concealed.
Anchor Lift
This incision type is best for patients who need a more dramatic lift. Dr. Peng will make three incisions; one around the areola, one down the breast, and one horizontally along your natural breast crease.
Preparing for
Your Breast Lift
Before your breast lift, there are some simple things you can do to prepare for your procedure and minimize the risk of complications:
Don't use blood thinning medications like aspirin for two weeks before your procedure.
Don't drink alcohol for a week prior to your surgery.
Don't use self-tanning products before your surgery.
What to Expect During Your Breast Lift Surgery
Your mastopexy surgery will be performed at our Minnetonka, MN, practice as an outpatient procedure. You will need a trusted friend or family member to drive you to and from your appointment.
We welcome patients from throughout Greater Minneapolis and Minnetonka, MN.

The Recovery Process
After your surgery at our Minneapolis-area practice, our plastic surgeon will give you care instructions. Follow these instructions to ensure a safe and quick recovery:
Manage Pain
Slight pain and discomfort are expected following a breast lift. Either prescription or over-the-counter medication can help you manage your pain.
Manage Inflammation
Swelling is expected following a breast lift. Our plastic surgeon will give you compression garments to wear during the first few weeks after surgery to minimize inflammation.
Avoid Strain
You should rest and perform only non-strenuous physical activity immediately following your plastic surgery. Avoid bending over and lifting anything that would strain your chest. You should wait at least six weeks before doing any strenuous exercise. However, taking short periodic walks in the days following surgery is recommended as a way to lower the risks of complications during this time.
See Results
Patients will start to see their results at around six weeks when the swelling and bruising start to subside. Full results can start to be seen around three months. It could take up to a year for swelling to completely subside.
Combining a Breast Lift With Other Breast Procedures
Dr. Peng offers breast lift, breast reduction, and breast implant procedures. While all of these procedures can provide refinements in your bustline, they are designed to meet different goals.
A breast lift only addresses sagging, while a breast reduction primarily involves removing tissue from breasts that are overly large. Breast implants enhance the size, shape, and projection of the breasts. Depending on what you want to achieve, these procedures can be performed alone or in a custom combination.
During your consultation with Dr. Peng, we want you to be very specific about the outcome you desire. Dr. Peng can note your goals in order to determine which type of procedure — or combination of procedures — is right for you. We serve patients throughout Greater Minneapolis and Minnetonka, MN.
Consider a Mommy Makeover
Depending on your goals, Dr. Peng may be able to combine your breast lift with other procedures in a comprehensive mommy makeover. This procedure simultaneously overhauls the appearance of the breasts and midsection after pregnancy or weight loss.
Dr. Peng can perform procedures like a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and stubborn fat from the midsection for a smoother physique. Liposuction can also be used to target areas with excess fat that have not responded to diet and exercise.
