Breast Procedure
A breast lift, or mastopexy, reshapes the breast envelope and repositions the nipple-areola complex when skin laxity, pregnancy, weight change, or aging has changed breast position. At Peak Plastic Surgery Center in Cherry Creek, planning focuses on proportion, tissue quality, and whether lift alone or lift with augmentation is the better route.

Candidates often notice lower nipple position, stretched skin, or a breast shape that no longer matches their goals. Every recommendation is confirmed during a private consultation in Denver after health history, anatomy, goals, timing, and recovery expectations are reviewed.

Lift planning may involve periareolar, vertical, or anchor-pattern incisions depending on the degree of laxity and reshaping needed. Implant placement or fat transfer can be discussed when volume restoration is also part of the goal.
Most breast lift patients plan for several days of lower activity and a staged return to exercise. Swelling and shape refinement continue over time, with restrictions adjusted during follow-up visits.
Cost varies based on incision pattern, whether implants are included, surgical time, anesthesia, and facility needs. Pricing is reviewed during your consultation, and financing options are available (subject to credit approval).
Procedure FAQ
These questions and answers are here to help you prepare for your consultation. Individual results vary, and any recommendation is made after an in-person evaluation.
A breast lift addresses breast position, skin laxity, nipple position, and overall shape. It does not primarily add volume unless combined with an implant or fat transfer.
Implants add volume, while a lift repositions and reshapes the breast. Some patients benefit from both; consultation determines which plan matches the anatomy and goal.
Scar placement depends on the lift pattern needed. Dr. Barker reviews incision options and tradeoffs before surgery.
Yes. A breast lift is commonly considered with tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body contouring procedures when appropriate for the patient.
