Breast Lift in Seattle
A More Youthful, Perky Contour
For patients in and around Seattle, a breast lift (mastopexy) can restore sagging breasts to a more youthful, lifted position by removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple areolar complex. This surgical procedure not only improves the appearance of sagging breasts but also helps patients feel more confident in clothing, swimwear, and everyday life.
Breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct breast drooping caused by aging, breastfeeding, or major weight loss. Having breasts that look empty or deflated may make you look older than you feel, and can take a toll on your confidence. Dr. Hakim Said is a breast reconstruction specialist who helps Seattle women achieve the perkier breasts they desire.
Seattle Breast Lift surgeons, like Dr. Hakim Said, correct these concerns by carefully removing excess breast skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple areola complex to a more youthful position. In many cases, breast implants can be added simultaneously to restore lost volume, achieving both lift and fullness. The goal is a natural-looking result that enhances the aesthetic proportion of the chest while keeping patient safety and comfort at the forefront.
Unlike some other cosmetic procedures, a breast lift addresses not just the appearance of the breast but also the underlying breast tissue and breast fold, creating a harmonious, perky shape that complements the patient’s body. Techniques vary depending on breast size, degree of sagging, and aesthetic goals, including minimally invasive options designed to minimize scarring while maximizing results.

A breast lift offers more than just a cosmetic transformation. By removing excess skin, restoring breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple areolar complex, patients can enjoy:
A candidate for a breast lift is typically a woman experiencing moderate to significant breast sagging who desires a lifted breast with improved shape and contour. Ideal candidates:
Women with larger breasts or those who have experienced weight fluctuations or significant weight loss may benefit from a breast lift to reduce heaviness, improve symmetry, and enhance self-confidence. Even patients with minor volume loss or mild sagging can consider a breast lift combined with breast augmentation for a fuller, more proportionate appearance. Dr. Said’s Seattle plastic surgery patients appreciate personalized treatment plans that match their body type, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle.
On the day of your breast lift Seattle plastic surgeon Dr. Hakim Said will meet with you to go over any last-minute questions and check your vitals. Markings are drawn on your skin as a guide for the surgery. This helps ensure a good cosmetic result that is in line with your expectations.
In the operating room, Dr. Said places incisions on the breast. Using those incisions, the loose skin of the breast is tightened. Different breast lift techniques may be used depending on your wishes. Ask Dr. Said about using a minimally invasive technique. In many patients, the vertical breast lift scar can be avoided, which can mean fewer scars and a more natural, unoperated look. Breast implants are sometimes an option and may be placed once the excess skin is removed.
Finally, the incisions are closed. Dr. Said takes great care to close the incision in a way to minimize your scarring, and will start you on a scar treatment plan afterward to help your incisions fade. After a breast lift Seattle patients can plan to return home the same day. You will need to arrange transportation before your surgery as you will be unable to drive yourself home immediately after surgery.
Most Seattle breast lift patients take one to two weeks off of work. You may resume driving once you feel confident that you have a full range of motion. Please avoid heavy lifting and wait at least six weeks before resuming strenuous exercise, particularly in the upper body.
Short walks are recommended, starting on the day of surgery. Most discomfort subsides in the first three days. Pain medication is prescribed for a more comfortable recovery, usually multiple medications overlapping for smoother coverage. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to lower the risk of infection.
Swelling after cosmetic surgery is normal. You may be asked to wear compression garments or a special bra to facilitate healing. Bruising may also occur. It takes approximately two weeks for bruising to subside. Bruising and swelling are not obvious to others. You can easily wear clothing that conceals your chest in early recovery.
Breast Lift Results will not be immediately apparent, as there will be some swelling and bruising. However, as you recover, your breasts will adjust to their new position on the body, sitting higher up on the chest with a perkier outward position.
If you elected to have implants along with your breast lift, it may take some time for the implants to settle in their final position. This is known as “dropping and fluffing” and it is normal. Dr. Said will go over what to expect from the results of your surgery, as well as precautions you can take to maximize those results, during your initial consultation.
