Breast Lift Surgery in Lone Tree, CO
Time, gravity, pregnancy, and life changes can alter your breast shape and position. Dr. Tanya Atagi combines surgical precision with an artistic understanding of natural breast anatomy to help you achieve the lifted, proportioned silhouette you desire through mastopexy (breast lift) surgery in Lone Tree, Colorado.
Understanding Breast Lift Surgery
A breast lift addresses the natural changes that occur when breast tissue loses its youthful firmness and support. Over time, the Cooper’s ligaments that provide internal structure stretch and weaken, while skin elasticity decreases. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and genetics all contribute to breast ptosis (sagging). During mastopexy, Dr. Atagi removes excess skin, repositions the nipple and areola to a more youthful height, and reshapes the breast tissue to create a firmer, more uplifted contour. This procedure restores the breast’s position on the chest wall without significantly changing size, though some patients choose to combine it with augmentation for comprehensive enhancement.
Surgical Techniques
- Anchor Technique
Addresses significant sagging with incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the inframammary fold. - Lollipop Technique
Uses incisions around the areola and vertically downward for moderate lifting. - Periareolar (Donut) Technique
Uses an incision around the areola only, suited for mild sagging that needs a modest lift. - Crescent Technique
Involves a small incision along the upper areola edge for minor adjustments.
Dr. Atagi carefully selects the appropriate technique based on your degree of ptosis and desired outcome, with meticulous attention to symmetry, natural contours, and optimal nipple positioning.
Who Benefits from Breast Lift Surgery
The best candidates for breast lift surgery are women who feel their breasts have lost their youthful position and shape. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes, are in good overall health, and have completed their family planning, as future pregnancies can affect results.
You may be a good candidate if you notice:
- Nipples pointing downward
- Breast tissue settling lower on your chest
- A flattened appearance in the upper portion of your breasts
- Self-consciousness in clothing or swimwear
Dr. Atagi evaluates each patient’s unique anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals during your consultation to determine if breast lift surgery is the right approach for you.

Breast lift surgery does create incision lines, but Dr. Atagi carefully places these along natural breast contours to minimize visibility. Scars typically fade significantly over time and can be easily concealed under clothing and swimwear. Your final scar appearance depends on your healing process and following post-operative care instructions, including the silicone products we provide to help fade and minimize scars.
Many women can successfully breastfeed after breast lift surgery, though individual results vary depending on the surgical technique used and your anatomy. Dr. Atagi discusses your future family planning during consultation to help preserve breastfeeding ability when possible.
Breast lift results typically maintain their improved position for many years. However, natural aging, gravity, and lifestyle factors will continue to affect your breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve your results longer.
Breast lift (mastopexy) repositions existing breast tissue to create a more youthful shape without significantly changing size. Breast augmentation increases breast size using implants or fat transfer. Many patients benefit from combining both procedures for comprehensive enhancement of both position and volume.
You can typically begin light walking immediately after surgery, with gradually increasing activity starting around two weeks. Dr. Atagi will assess your healing at your one-month follow-up and provide personalized guidance on returning to full exercise routines, including upper body workouts.
Breast lift can often be combined with breast augmentation for patients who want both lifting and volume enhancement, or with a tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover for those addressing multiple areas after pregnancy. Dr. Atagi evaluates each patient's individual needs to determine whether combining procedures will achieve the best outcome safely and effectively.

Breast Augmentation

Mommy Makeover
