Frank banner breast lift

If changes in your breasts are making you feel less confident in your appearance, a breast lift can help restore a more natural, youthful shape. A breast lift reshapes and raises your breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, so your breasts look firmer and more proportionate.

At Robert Frank MD Plastic Surgery, you receive thoughtful, personalized care focused on long‑lasting results. Dr. Frank brings board‑certified expertise and a patented surgical technique to every consultation and procedure he performs. If you’re from Munster, Hobart, or a nearby community, you can count on a consistent, trusted experience from your consultation to breast lift surgery and every follow-up.

Why You Might Consider a Breast Lift

You may consider a breast lift if:

  • Your breasts have lost firmness or droop with age
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes have altered your breast shape
  • You want nipples that point forward instead of downward
  • You want better symmetry or a more youthful contour

A breast lift can improve the position of your breasts and nipples, restore balance to your proportions, and help your clothing fit more comfortably.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

You’ll meet one‑on‑one with Dr. Frank to talk about what you want to change and learn what a breast lift can realistically accomplish. During your consultation, you will:

  • Review your breast goals and anatomy
  • Discuss incision choices and surgical technique
  • Explore whether a lift alone or a lift with augmentation is best
  • Receive a detailed quote with clear pricing

Dr. Frank makes sure you leave the consultation with honest answers and confidence in your plan.

What Happens During Your Breast Lift Surgery

Your breast lift is performed under general anesthesia in a licensed, state‑accredited surgical facility near Munster and Hobart. Dr. Frank uses techniques that match your needs for lift, contour, and scar placement.

Your procedure may include:

  • Removing excess skin around the breast
  • Reshaping and lifting the breast tissue
  • Repositioning the nipple and areola for a more natural look
  • Correcting asymmetry between breasts

A Unique Approach to Scarring

In some cases, Dr. Frank uses a patented approach for periareolar mastopexy that reduces tension on the skin edge. This can help diminish scar appearance and lead to more predictable, pleasing outcomes. For minimal droop, this technique may be ideal. For more significant lift needs, other reliable approaches may be recommended, such as:

  • Vertical mastopexy (lollipop‑shaped scar)
  • Wise pattern lift (similar to scarring from breast reduction)

Dr. Frank will explain which method best suits your goals and anatomy.

Breast Lift with Augmentation

If you want both lift and volume enhancement, you may combine a breast lift with augmentation. This can help restore volume and improve shape. In some cases, Dr. Frank performs both procedures at once. At other times, he recommends staging them to optimize recovery and outcomes.

What Breast Lift Recovery Looks Like

Recovery after a breast lift is gradual but manageable. Many patients report mild, controllable discomfort, and many return to desk work within about a week.

You can expect:

  • Tenderness and swelling that fades over time
  • Support garments or surgical bra for comfort
  • Avoiding activities that cause the breasts to bounce, such as running, for up to two months

Dr. Frank schedules follow‑ups and supports you throughout your recovery so you always know where you are in the healing process.

Dr. Frank’s Recovery Advice

Trying to rush back into ordinary life can slow healing and increase discomfort. Dr. Frank encourages you to plan ahead and avoid strenuous tasks for at least the first two weeks. This includes heavy lifting, intense exercise, and repetitive arm movements. By resting, staying hydrated, and following your recovery plan, you support the best outcome possible.
