A good candidate for breast list surgery is someone who has lost some elasticity or volume in their breasts. A breast list, which is also known as mastopexy, can greatly benefit women who have smaller breasts as well as drooping breasts. Patients should also wait until they are done having children before having a breast lift as well as not experience any dramatic weight loss (as the skin can start to lose volume that helps to maintain a youthful look) or dramatic weight gain (as the skin can start to stretch).

The breast lift procedure is performed to change the shape of the breasts through the removal of excess skin, the reshaping of the remaining breast tissue, and the shifting of the nipples to a higher position. There are a number of breast lift techniques that can be used to provide the desired results and they include a standard breast lift, doughnut mastopexy, lollipop lift, a breast lift with breast implants, and a laser bra lift.

There will be a change in the look of the breasts immediately after the surgery. Plus, the look and shape of the breasts will continue to evolve over the next several months. Any scars will start to soften and become thinner within a year or two. There will be some swelling for several months that will resolve on its own. The final results can last for decades but the actual length of the results vary per person.

The average breast lift cost in Los Angeles varies by the complexity of the surgery, the technique performed by the doctor, and any additional fees charged by the doctor or the medical facility. In general, the cost is anywhere from $7500-$15,000.
