A woman's breasts can droop over time due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and the natural aging process.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, can lift and reshape breasts that have lost their firm, uplifted contours.
Board-certified surgeons Elizabeth A. Grasee and Debra C. Bergman can improve your self-image through a breast lift at our practice serving Indianapolis, IN. To see what's possible, book a consultation today.
"Mastopexy" is the official medical term for the breast lift procedure, and you may hear the words used interchangeably. A mastopexy improves breast shape by shifting the underlying tissue upwards to create a youthful-looking bustline. Our plastic surgeons can also move the position of the nipple-areolar complex and reduce the areola size during this cosmetic surgery.
As part of the natural aging process, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations, the quality and elasticity of your skin diminishes and breast volume decreases. This results in ptosis, or sagging of the breasts. With breast lift surgery, we can reshape the breasts and resize the nipple-areolar complex to restore the appearance of youthful, perky breasts.
When the breasts begin to droop, they lose their shape, which can make it difficult to find bras, bathing suits, and other clothing that fits comfortably. With breast lift surgery, we can reshape the breasts and make it easier for you to find clothes that fit well. If the loss of breast tissue and volume is also a problem, we can augment the breasts with implants.
For many women, the breasts and nipples sag at different rates, resulting in an asymmetrical appearance. During breast lift surgery, we will remove precise amounts of excess skin, lift the breasts, and adjust the nipples and areolas to produce a more symmetrical, balanced look.
The breasts can be lifted to restore a more youthful and attractive appearance without implants.
A mastopexy can restore a youthful, perky bustline to enhance your appearance and confidence. When performed by skilled and experienced plastic surgeons like Dr. Grasee and Dr. Bergman, you can have the natural-looking results of your dreams that complement your feminine figure.
Contact our plastic surgery practice if you're ready to experience the benefits of mastopexy. Our Carmel, IN, plastic surgery office serves the greater Indianapolis area.

A crescent lift is a small incision made along the top of the areola. We may recommend a crescent lift for women with minor sagging who only slightly need their nipples raised.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons take extra care to conceal your incisions so your results look natural and beautiful.

I had a breast reduction here about 5 months ago and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Bergman was amazingly kind and everyone in the office was so supportive every step of the way!!
View on GoogleMany women have lost breast tissue due to pregnancy or the aging process. Others may simply wish to increase the size of the breasts for a more filled-out silhouette. During the breast augmentation procedure, we can place breast implants to add fullness and volume to the breasts, particularly in the upper area. By combining the lift procedure with a breast augmentation, we can fill out and reshape the breasts during one surgical appointment.
There are some cases in which women have overly large breasts that have begun to sag due to age or weight gain. It may be more appropriate to perform a breast reduction procedure for these patients. This procedure utilizes the same incisions as a breast lift but involves the removal of tissue and excess skin. If you wish to reduce the size of your breasts, we invite you to contact our Carmel, IN, practice to learn more about breast reduction.
Following breast lift surgery at our Indianapolis practice, patients can expect to:
As you heal, swelling will decrease, and incision lines will fade. One of our surgeons, Dr. Grasee or Dr. Bergman, will give you aftercare instructions following your breast lift. Contact our Indianapolis-area practice if you experience any adverse side effects.
The results of your breast lift will be evident as soon as you complete surgery. However, swelling and bruising can alter their initial appearance. Your results should become more refined over time as you recover.
While the results of breast lift surgery are permanent, your breasts will continue to change over time. Aging, weight gain, and gravity can all continue to take their toll. The best way to prolong your breast lift is by maintaining your weight and a healthy lifestyle.

I would highly recommend Carmel Cosmetics. Great experience with office staff, very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Grasee helped me improve my body after 150 lb weightloss with a tummy tuck and breast lift in February 2023 and a breast augmentation in June 2023. I am so very pleased with the care provided and absolutely love my results. I appreciate Dr. Grasee and staff for the excellent care and support. I will be back early next year for an arm lift and I am looking forward to it!
