What Is A Breast Lift?
A breast lift removes excess skin and tightens tissue for a firmer, more youthful look. It's ideal for women who've experienced changes in breast firmness and shape due to breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, or gravity. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, the latest techniques are used to customize the surgery to the specific level of sagging and the desired outcomes, aiming for the best possible results.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
A breast lift typically takes two hours or more, depending on the complexity of the breast sag, and is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgery involves one of two common incision techniques: the anchor technique (inverted-T) or vertical incisions. During the procedure, excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed. The remaining skin is tightened, and the breasts are repositioned to appear higher, younger, and healthier. Often, the areola size is also reduced to better fit the new breast shape. If discussed beforehand, implants or a fat transfer may be added to enhance volume. If only a lift is performed and additional fullness is desired, augmentation with implants can be planned for a later date.
What Are the Benefits of A Breast Lift?
A breast lift is personalized to your specific needs and goals and has multiple aesthetic and functional benefits, including:
- Lifting the breasts for a younger, perkier look
- Reducing sagging and drooping
- Improving the fullness, form, and overall aesthetics of the breasts
- Correcting breast asymmetry (one breast is different than the other)
- Enhancing breast firmness
- Reducing irritation under the breasts
- Resizing and reshaping the areolas

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Butler and the entire team at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery. From my very first consultation to my post-op appointments, I felt cared for, heard, and completely confident in my decision.Dr. Butler performed my tummy tuck, breast lift, and implant exchange — and my results are truly incredible. His skill, precision, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation I had. I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin than I have in years.The staff is just as amazing — kind, patient, professional, and always reassuring. I am beyond grateful for the experience and the care I received. Highly recommend!

2 days post op today and am so excited to see myself after I heal because what I can see now I love! Dr. Butler, his nurses, and the entire staff I came into contact with at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery was AMAZING! During my consultant Dr. Butler was very professional but also funny. He explained everything so well for what to expect and listened to every word and question I had to say. I knew he was the perfect match to do my surgery. My pre-op appointment went smoothly as well. Everyone is just so professional and nice. Day of surgery all the nurses who prepped me were very good about telling me exactly what they were doing and how things were going to work. Dr. Butler came to see me and talk to me before surgery as well. My mom came with me and the staff was so amazing by checking in with her 3x during my surgery to let her know how it was going. The surgery went flawless! A nurse called me 1 day post op to check in on me and then I just had my 2 day post op appointment this morning where they removed all the dressings and looked over my incisions making sure all was good. I finally got to see my body (I got a tummy tuck and breast lift) and despite being swollen and staples in I am so excited for my healing journey as I am already impressed with my results. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Butler and his nurses. Hands down a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get plastic surgery done.
I am 6 weeks post op from Breast Implant Removal with Dr Butler and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. I had went to an event so that I can see which provider that would be best suited for me before I had a consultation. His kindness, knowledge, and compassion about what he does was the reasons why I choose him. He had made the surgery a breeze, and I felt at ease with his expertise. Thank you so much Dr Butler!
Dr. Butler and his staff are the BEST of the BEST. From the initial consultation, through the surgery and then post op procedures visits they are always very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I have had 2 different surgeries (Breast Reduction with lift and Tummy Tuck) with Dr. Butler and each time I have had a great result! He thoroughly explains the procedure and expectations. He and his staff answered all of my questions throughout the whole process while making me feel comfortable. Their new surgery center is hands down the best experience I have ever had with any surgical procedure. The nurses, staff, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Butler went above and beyond to meet my needs the day of surgery and truly make it an exceptional and personal experience. I highly recommend Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery and Dr. Butler! You will not be disappointed!!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a breast lift cost?
In your initial consultation, we will pay attention to your needs and aesthetic goals before creating your unique treatment plan. After that, we can estimate your price. When done well, a breast lift will significantly improve your body, so it is important to focus on having an experienced surgeon with years of training rather than on prices. To help make cosmetic surgery easier to afford, Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery can help you find low-interest financing.
Do I need a breast lift or breast implants?
Whether you should have a breast lift, an augmentation with implants, or both depends on your specific concerns. In many patients, a breast lift will enhance the shape and fullness of the breasts with no need for implants. Your physical condition will be evaluated, and we will listen to your goals in your consultation, then decide whether you would benefit from a lift, implants, or an augmentation with a lift.
Will my nipples be moved?
Typically, the nipple-areola complex will be moved up during the breast lift. If your areolas are overly large or stretched, then we can include an areola reduction in your surgery. This may be discussed during your appointment so we can decide on the ideal incision pattern and technique to use in your breast lift.
