What Is a Breast Lift?
You deserve to have breasts that remain firm, perky, and voluptuous—no matter how much time passes or how much older you get. Sadly, that’s easier said than done, especially if you’ve had children, breastfed, or experienced significant weight loss. Thankfully, plastic surgery procedures such as a breast lift can turn back the hands of time and effectively address breast sagging. A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, removes excess skin, reshapes breast tissue, and lifts the breasts to a more youthful position. Breast lifts in Fort Worth include nipple and areola repositioning for balance and are often performed in combination with other breast procedures, such as augmentation, and with cosmetic procedures associated with a mommy makeover.
No two breast lift procedures are the same. The good news is that at Clearfork Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons are qualified to handle everything from textbook simple lifts with minimal scarring to more extensive, complex cases, and everything in between. The correct route for you depends on the severity of sagging and your unique patient goals.

- Restore Breast Shape: Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts, creating a more youthful, uplifted appearance.
- Improve Symmetry: Enhances breast symmetry by adjusting the nipple and areola positions.
- Boost Confidence: Many women feel more confident and satisfied with their appearance after a breast lift.
Breast Lift Before & Afters
The Consultation
The first step with any breast lift in Fort Worth is to schedule a free consultation with Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell at Clearfork Plastic Surgery Center. These appointments are equal parts conversational and educational. As our patient, you will be given plenty of time to communicate the concerns you have with your breasts, what you envision as the best outcome for your wants and needs, and ask questions. The term “perkier” means different things to different people, so many women show up to this appointment with pictures or magazine clippings that showcase what they would like their breasts and overall silhouette to look like.
Once you have communicated your goals, Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell will start by showing you what is realistic and natural for your body type and how they plan to make your dreams a reality.
How Is a Breast Lift Performed?
As previously mentioned, no two breast lift procedures are the same. Generally speaking, however, the goal is to remove excess skin, reshape breast tissue, and lift the breasts to a more youthful position. More often than not, this procedure will include repositioning the nipple and areola for balance. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. The pattern and length of the incision depend on the amount of skin and the desired reshaping. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and a surgical bra is applied to support the breasts during recovery. If necessary, breast implants can also be used to help shape the breasts and increase their size.

Breast Lift Recovery: What To Expect
Recovery from a breast lift in Fort Worth involves wearing a surgical bra to support the breasts and minimize swelling. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Full results become more apparent as swelling subsides, revealing a more youthful and uplifted breast appearance.
You will experience minor pain and discomfort as a result of your breast lift. That said, most of it can be easily controlled with pain medication and rest. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell recommend that you have someone on hand in the home to help with your children, cooking, etc. At the end of your recovery period, you should notice that your breasts are in a more aesthetically pleasing shape and size, and in a “perkier” location for your body.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift in Fort Worth?
You deserve to have the breasts of your dreams. But wanting perkier breasts doesn’t mean you automatically qualify for breast lift surgery. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell will perform a thorough medical examination to determine whether you are in good enough health for the procedure. They will also ask plenty of questions to determine if your goals and expectations are realistic.
Generally speaking, you are considered to be a good candidate for a breast lift if:
- You are in good, overall health.
- Sanderson and Dr. Braswell agree that, after speaking with you, it is clear that you have realistic expectations.
- You do not smoke or do drugs.
- You are in good psychological health.
