You've noticed the shift: less fullness at the top, nipples that sit lower than they used to, maybe discomfort in your neck and shoulders from the weight. No bra or workout will fix what's structural. Surgery can. And we’re here to support you every step of the way.
A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin, tightening tissue, and repositioning the nipple to a more youthful location. It's about restoring the shape you used to have – or the shape you've always wanted.
Lift alone: For women whose size is fine but whose shape and position have changed. Dr. Liu removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to create a firmer, more elevated contour.
Lift with augmentation: For women who've lost volume along with shape. Dr. Liu can combine a lift with implants or fat transfer to restore both fullness and position in a single procedure.
Lift with reduction: For women experiencing neck, shoulder, or back pain from heavy, sagging breasts. Removing excess tissue and lifting the breast can relieve physical discomfort while improving proportion.
Dr. Liu evaluates your breast tissue, skin quality, nipple position, and chest wall anatomy to recommend the technique that will give you the most balanced, lasting result.
Shape that lasts, not just a temporary lift. Dr. Liu's surgical technique accounts for how tissue settles over time. She reshapes the internal breast structure ( not just the skin envelope) so your results hold their position for years, not months.
Scarring that's taken seriously. Every breast lift involves incisions, but placement and closure techniques matter enormously. Dr. Liu uses meticulous layered closure and scar management protocols to minimize visible scarring as much as possible.

A lift alone doesn't significantly change your cup size; it changes your shape and position. If you also want to add or reduce volume, Dr. Liu can combine a lift with augmentation or reduction. She'll walk you through the options during your consultation.
A breast lift at Aesthetx typically ranges from $19,000–$21,000. Final pricing is determined during your consultation based on your specific surgical plan.
Incisions are placed along the natural contours of the breast, typically around the areola and in a vertical line beneath it. Scars fade significantly over the first year, and Dr. Liu uses specific closure techniques and scar management protocols to optimize healing.
Most patients take 1–2 weeks off work. You'll wear a supportive bra for several weeks. Light activity can resume within a few weeks, with full exercise at around 6 weeks. Most patients say the discomfort is very manageable.
