For anyone considering a breast lift, understanding the cost is an important factor. The cost of this procedure is based on factors like the complexity of the surgery and the surgeon’s expertise. Additionally, for the results you desire, breast implants may be recommended to add fullness, which can increase the overall cost. If you’re wondering why the cost varies from surgeon to surgeon, today Dr. Rolando Morales will explore the factors that impact the cost of a breast lift, so you can make an informed decision. 

How A Lift Enhances Natural Breasts

When Dr. Morales performs a breast lift (mastopexy) without implants, his focus is on enhancing the patient’s natural breast shape, creating firmer, more symmetrical results without adding extra volume. Through precise reshaping and elevation, he achieves a more youthful, natural appearance by removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissue, and positioning the nipples at a higher, aesthetically pleasing level.

Dr. Morales carefully evaluates each patient’s natural breast tissue to refine the shape and volume, achieving enhanced contours without implants. There are several techniques he may use for a breast lift, each involving strategic removal of excess skin to lift and reshape the breasts. If asymmetry is present, he can adjust by removing tissue from the larger breast for improved balance. For suitable candidates, a less invasive approach, like a short-scar lift, may be an option, offering the benefits of smaller incisions and minimal scarring.

What Impacts The Cost

The cost of a breast lift can vary significantly depending on several key factors, especially when comparing it to a breast augmentation with implants. Here are some of the main variables that may impact the cost of a breast lift:

Procedure Complexity

A straightforward breast lift focuses on reshaping and lifting the natural breast tissue without adding implants. However, if a more complex lift is needed to address extensive sagging or if additional sculpting is required for symmetry, the complexity and cost can increase. 

Dr. Rolando Morales’s expertise in addressing varying degrees of sagging and asymmetry allows him to tailor each breast lift, ensuring that even complex cases achieve balanced, natural-looking results. The procedure’s scope—whether it’s a simple lift or involves repositioning the nipple or areola—also plays a role in determining the final cost.

Surgeon’s Expertise & Credentials

The skill and reputation of the surgeon can impact pricing. Experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons with a track record in breast lift procedures may charge more due to their expertise and specialized techniques. 

Dr. Morales brings extensive experience in breast procedures, having honed his techniques through years of focused practice, making him a trusted choice for patients seeking high-quality outcomes, which is reflected in the cost.

Anesthesia & Facility Fees

The anesthesia/anesthesiologist and the facility where the procedure is performed also influences the cost of a breast lift. Dr. Rolando Morales performs his surgical procedures at The ACPS Surgicenter, a state-of-the-art facility certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).

Breast Implants

Some women choose to combine a breast lift with augmentation using implants to enhance fullness along with lift. Adding implants generally raises the cost because it involves implant fees, additional surgical expertise and extended time in surgery. 

Dr. Morales specializes in breast lifts with implants, expertly combining techniques to achieve enhanced fullness and lift. He is proud to offer Motiva implants that were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2024, and they are garnering significant attention for their innovative design and safety profile.

Multiple Procedures

For some women, choosing to have multiple procedures like combining a breast lift with implants, tummy tuck, Corset Contour or liposuction, can impact the overall cost but may ultimately be more cost-effective. When these procedures are performed together, patients incur one set of fees for anesthesia and the surgical center, reducing the expense compared to undergoing separate surgeries. 

Dr. Morales safely combines multiple procedures into one surgery, so his patients can achieve comprehensive, transformative results that are truly stunning. His combined approach to breast lifts and complementary procedures means only one recovery period, allowing for less time away from work and daily activities, which can also be a cost savings in the long run.

FAQs

How Much Does A Breast Lift Typically Cost?

The cost of a breast lift varies based on individual factors. At the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), where Dr. Morales practices, the starting price for a breast lift is approximately $8,000. 

How Does Recovery Differ With Breast Lift vs. Breast Implants?

With a breast lift, recovery generally focuses on healing skin and tissue adjustments, so swelling and bruising are common but often resolve within a few weeks. For breast implants, the recovery process may involve a bit more discomfort due to muscle stretching if the implants are placed under the chest muscle. Swelling, tightness, and some soreness are common, and it may take a bit longer to feel fully comfortable. 

How Does Breast Lift Cost Compare To Similar Procedures?

A breast lift on its own is generally less expensive than combining it with augmentation, as a breast lift with implants involves additional materials and increased surgical complexity. For example, when paired with implants, the starting cost is around $9,000, reflecting these added factors.

Does Insurance Cover Breast Lift Surgery?

Breast lift surgery is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, if the surgery is deemed medically necessary to alleviate physical discomfort, partial coverage may be possible. It’s essential to consult with your insurance provider for specific details.
