PROCEDURE GUIDE
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, reshapes the breast mound, and repositions the nipple and areola to a higher, more forward-facing position. It corrects the sagging and drooping that develops over time without significantly changing your breast size.
Many patients combine a breast lift with augmentation (implants or fat transfer) to restore both position and volume, particularly after weight loss or breastfeeding. Others prefer a lift alone to achieve a perkier shape while keeping their natural size.
The right technique depends on the degree of sagging (called ptosis) and the amount of excess skin that needs to be removed. Your surgeon will assess your breast tissue, skin laxity, and nipple position during your consultation to recommend the most appropriate approach.
Scars from a breast lift fade significantly over time and are positioned so they can be concealed by a bra or swimwear. Your surgeon will discuss exactly which incision pattern is appropriate for your anatomy and show you where scarring is expected.
A breast lift may be right for you if you experience any of the following:
Breasts that sag, droop, or sit lower than they used to
Nipples that point downward or fall below the breast crease
Areolas that have stretched or enlarged
Breasts that appear elongated or flat rather than round and full
Loss of breast volume and shape after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
Significant asymmetry in breast height or position
Good candidates are in good overall health, are at or near their stable goal weight, are non-smokers (or committed to quitting several weeks before and after surgery), and have realistic expectations about the results and scars associated with this procedure.
If you are planning to have children in the future, your surgeon may recommend waiting, as future pregnancies can affect the results of a breast lift.
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure at our fully accredited surgical facility in downtown Toronto. Here is a general overview of what happens on the day of surgery.
Your surgeon reviews your surgical plan, markings are made on the skin to guide incision placement, and photos are taken for reference.
General anesthesia is administered by a certified anesthesiologist. You will be completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
The surgeon makes the planned incisions, removes excess skin, reshapes the breast mound, and elevates the nipple and areola to a more youthful position
Incisions are closed, and your position is evaluated upright to assess symmetry and shape before final closure.
You will recover in our monitored recovery suite before going home with a trusted companion. Detailed aftercare instructions and a follow-up schedule are provided.
Surgery typically takes 2 to 3.5 hours, depending on the technique used and whether additional procedures are combined.
Yes, and this is a very common combination. A lift addresses position and shape, while augmentation adds volume. Many patients benefit from both simultaneously, particularly those who have lost volume after breastfeeding or significant weight loss.
This combined procedure can be performed with traditional implants (silicone or saline) or with fat transfer for a more modest, natural volume increase. Your surgeon will assess whether combining procedures makes sense for your anatomy and goals, and will explain what is achievable in a single surgical session.
Rest at home. Expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Pain medication is prescribed.
Swelling peaks then begins to subside. A supportive surgical bra is worn continuously.
Most patients return to light desk work. Avoid lifting anything over a few pounds.
Light activity and walking are encouraged. No upper body exercise yet.
Most patients are cleared to resume exercise and normal physical activity.
Swelling fully resolves. Scars begin to soften and fade.
Scars continue to fade. Final results fully visible.
A supportive surgical bra is typically worn for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Sleeping on your back is recommended for the first few weeks. Your surgeon will provide individualized aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing.
The cost of breast lift surgery in Toronto typically ranges from $10,600 – $12,100 + or more
depending on the technique used, whether it is combined with augmentation, surgical complexity, anesthesia, and facility fees. Financing options are available through our third-party partners.
Exact pricing is provided only after your consultation, where we can assess your anatomy and determine the appropriate surgical plan for your goals.
The best way to understand what a breast lift can do for you is to have a one-on-one conversation with one of our surgeons. Consultations are free, there is no obligation to proceed, and we will give you honest answers about what is achievable for your unique anatomy.
We see patients from Toronto, the GTA, and across Canada. Virtual consultations are available for those travelling from out of town.
A breast lift on its own does not significantly change your breast size. It reshapes, lifts, and repositions. If you also want more volume, your surgeon can discuss combining your lift with implants or fat transfer.
