Beverly Hills
When you notice that your breasts are starting to sag or droop, remember you have options for correcting these changes and restoring life to your bust. A breast lift in Beverly Hills may be perfect for you: the procedure can dramatically enhance your bosom, your figure, and your self-confidence.
Also known as a mastopexy, a breast lift surgically removes excess, unwanted skin from your breasts, raising and reshaping them to counter a sagging appearance. When performed by Dr. Daniel Gould, a breast lift is a very safe plastic surgery procedure with long-lasting results.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It’s a great option if you’re dealing with sagging, stretched skin, or nipples that have started to point downward. The goal is to give your breasts a more youthful, lifted look that still feels totally natural to your body. This isn’t about making your breasts look "done," it’s about helping them look like the best version of themselves.
There are a few different techniques that can be used depending on your anatomy and the level of lift you need. Dr. Gould uses advanced surgical methods to reshape the breast tissue, reposition the nipple and areola, and create smooth, balanced results. Every detail is personalized to your body and your goals, so your results feel like you, just refreshed. If you’re also looking to add volume, a breast lift can be combined with implants as part of a single procedure.
A breast lift can completely shift how you feel in your own skin. Over time, things like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or just gravity can cause breasts to lose their shape and support. A breast lift helps bring everything back up, giving your breasts a more youthful, natural look that feels like you again. Many women say they feel more confident, more comfortable in clothes, and just generally happier with their reflection after surgery. What a Breast Lift can help with:
Depending on your anatomy and goals, a lift can also be combined with other treatments (like implants) or done on its own. Everything is customized for you. Some patients also enjoy the fact that recovery from a breast lift can often be shorter compared to more extensive surgeries.
If your breasts have started to droop, your nipples point downward, or you've noticed a loss of shape or firmness, a breast lift might be something to consider. Some people feel frustrated when their breasts no longer match how they feel on the inside. A breast lift is for anyone who wants their breasts to look more lifted and youthful, whether it's from pregnancy, weight loss, or just time doing its thing.
You're likely a good candidate if you're in generally good health, don't smoke, and you're not planning to become pregnant in the near future (since pregnancy can stretch the skin again). Age isn't necessarily a deal-breaker, but skin quality and overall health are important factors. During your consultation, Dr. Gould will look at things like skin elasticity, breast volume, and your personal goals to help determine if a lift is the right call.
Your breast lift process begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Gould to determine if you are a suitable candidate. The ideal person for Beverly Hills breast lift surgery should be in good health, with no chronic diseases or pre-existing medical conditions.
Our medical team will thoroughly review the pre-and post-operative instructions for breast lift surgery. You should refrain from smoking and stop the use of nicotine products, recreational drugs, alcohol, and over-the-counter blood thinners such as aspirin. Using any of these products before your Beverly Hills breast lift procedure could increase the risk of unnecessary complications.
During your procedure, our staff will administer anesthesia. Our expert plastic surgeon will then remove the excess, sagging skin by making small incisions in your breast. Dr. Gould will also restore your nipples to a more youthful-looking raised position. Immediately after the surgery, your breasts will appear fuller, firmer, perkier, and shapelier. Over time, the scars from the incisions will fade or disappear.
Right after surgery you'll see a difference, your breasts will look more lifted and shapely. But those early results are just the beginning. It takes a little time for swelling to go down and for your breasts to settle into their final shape. For most people, results continue to improve over the first three to six months.
A breast lift can last for many years, especially if you maintain a stable weight and wear proper support. Of course, your body will keep changing naturally with age, but the improvements from surgery are long-lasting. Many patients are happy with their results for a decade or more before considering a touch-up if they ever do.
To ensure a smooth recovery after your breast lift Beverly Hills patients should take steps that include:
Should you have additional questions about how to best recover from your breast lift, Dr. Gould can address them during your initial consultation.
After your breast lift, your job is to rest, heal, and be kind to your body. You'll go home in a special surgical bra, which helps support your breasts and keep swelling down. For the first few weeks, you'll want to avoid anything that puts strain on your chest, no lifting, pushing, or pulling. And sleeping on your back with your upper body slightly elevated can help with healing and comfort.
As far as long-term care goes, it's all about consistency. Wearing supportive bras (especially during workouts), keeping your skin healthy, and staying on top of follow-up appointments can all help your results last longer. Scar care is also something we'll guide you through. Dr. Gould and his team will walk you through everything so you feel supported every step of the way.
By itself, a breast lift is not intended to increase the size of your breasts. The procedure simply removes excess, sagging skin, which results in giving your breasts a fuller, firmer, shapelier, and more contoured appearance.
Should you want to address sagging breasts as well as increase the size of your bust, Dr. Gould might recommend performing a breast lift in conjunction with a breast augmentation. During your Beverly Hills consultation, he can assess your situation and determine whether a combination of a breast lift and augmentation would help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
The cost of a breast lift isn't one-size-fits-all, it really depends on your specific needs and any other procedures you might be combining with it (like implants or liposuction). During your consultation, Dr. Gould will create a personalized plan that includes all the details, including pricing.
Your total cost usually includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, and facility fees. Some practices don't list these upfront, but we believe it's important to be clear about what you're paying for. Costs also vary depending on where you live and the type of lift you're having done. If you're curious about a ballpark range, we're happy to give you more information when you reach out.
