Under general anesthesia, this surgery will usually be performed as an outpatient procedure. Your plastic surgeon will ensure maximum patient comfort and safety with this option.
Cost of Boob Lift
Mastopexy (boob lift), commonly referred to as mastopexy, can provide women with drooping or sagging breasts with firmer and younger-looking bosoms. The procedure removes excess tissue while correcting its position nipple for more youthful breasts – either alone or as part of breast reduction or implant surgery procedures.
Your surgeon will review your medical history and perform a physical exam prior to surgery to make sure you are healthy enough for this procedure. Any conditions which hinder healing or cause complications should not exist.
As part of your boob lift procedure, you will be given either anesthesia or sedation and then placed on a surgical table. Your surgeon will make incisions along the areolas and potentially down to your nipple incision line before trimming away excess skin, tissue, or fat deposits before closing incisions with bandages or dressings to complete this process.
Procedure
Many individuals are dissatisfied with the size, shape, or position of their breasts. They may desire a more flattering silhouette in clothing they wear or experience neck and back pain due to drooping breasts that cause unnecessary strain on neck muscles.
Mastopexy can lift sagging breasts to alleviate pain, while simultaneously decreasing their areola size and reshaping them into more youthful positions.
This procedure typically requires general anesthesia in a hospital or surgery center and its costs depend on your specific requirements and the surgeon’s fee, which reflects their experience and expertise.
Other expenses related to boob lift surgery that could impact its total cost are preoperative tests, anesthesia costs, medications before and after surgery (sedatives and pain relievers) as well as hospital or surgical facility fees for use of operating rooms. Depending on individual cases, recovering at home could add cost or reduce it; hospital stays add extra expenses whereas recovering in-house can lower them.
Recovery
Mastopexy (boob lift), also referred to as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that tightens tissue and removes excess skin to create fuller and perkier breasts. Commonly performed after childbearing and can help reshape them for a more youthful appearance. Recovery after mastopexy may range from mild or moderate, pain being typically easily managed with medication and most patients returning to work within just days – though care must still be taken during recovery to avoid complications.
Under general anesthesia, the procedure typically lasts about an hour or two. Your surgeon will make incisions around both areolas as well as down and/or out from them in order to reposition or shape tissues and fat as necessary before closing the incisions. It is important during recovery to avoid activities that involve lifting or bending over, while swelling and bruising may occur; both should diminish with time.

Breast lifts are typically considered cosmetic procedures and therefore not covered by health insurance plans. In certain circumstances, however, partial or full coverage may be granted if your doctor writes a letter of medical necessity documenting that this procedure will help alleviate pain, rashes, swelling, or other related symptoms relating to your breasts.
