A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes the breast by tightening the skin envelope, refining internal support, and centering the nipple-areola complex.
Incision patterns vary—periareolar “donut,” vertical “lollipop,” or anchor. Your surgeon will help you understand which pattern works best for you. Some patients add subtle volume with an implant or fat transfer when upper-pole fullness or increased cleavage are also goals.
Dr. Larson specializes in auto-augmentation techniques to reposition your own tissues to maximize fullness and projection after breast lift surgery. He is also a master of the “internal bra” technique using absorbable mesh to support the tissues and create fuller, longer-lasting and more beautiful breasts that are more resistant to gravity over time.
A breast lift focuses on position, structure, and balance—helping the breast sit higher, feel lighter, and move naturally again.
For many patients, it’s less about size and more about comfort and proportion. Below are some of the most common concerns we address through breast lift surgery.
Sagging breasts
Asymmetrical breasts
Nipple and Areola descent
Stretched skin
Consults at our Phoenix office begin with a conversation about your goals and taking measurements, and we’ll take a look at some standardized photos.
We assess nipple-to-fold distance, skin quality, and symmetry, then recommend a treatment path that gives you the best shape with the least amount of scarring. Dr. Larson reviews scar placement and closure strategy, including how we reduce tension for finer lines. Our recovery support includes scheduled photo checks, garment guidance, and honest discussions about milestones.

A lift changes position, while implants change size. If your main concern is low placement, a lift alone often solves it. When upper-pole roundness is also important, we may add subtle volume.
During your breast lift consultation, we’ll compare outcomes and show examples of pairing with breast augmentation when it meaningfully improves balance.
It may look that way at first, but the goal isn’t reduction; it’s a lift. By reshaping the skin and internal tissue, we restore firmness and natural proportions.
The breast often appears “smaller but higher,” sitting closer to its ideal placement. When upper fullness is also a goal, Dr. Larson can add subtle volume with an implant or fat transfer for a seamless contours after your breast lift in Phoenix.
Every incision follows your unique anatomy. The first weeks bring firmness and color. Then, the gradual fading begins. With good scar care and patience, lines soften into quiet reminders of your breast lift in Phoenix. Dr. Larson uses Brijjit devices as well as the most effective scar care to further reduce your scarring.
Yes, and often in ways patients don’t expect. We can reduce the areola diameter, refine height differences, or balance fullness from side to side.
Dr. Larson maps these adjustments with you before surgery so you know the plan exactly. The goal is harmony, and giving you results that look right in both fit and feeling.
If you’re hoping for lighter as well as higher, a breast reduction may fit better than a lift alone. It relieves weight-related tension while restoring position, solving comfort and aesthetic concerns in one step.
We’ll clarify the differences during your consult so your plan—whether lift, reduction, or both—matches your priorities and long-term comfort.
