A Clearer Way to Plan Your Results

This personalized tool uses your own body proportions to help visualize changes in breast shape and positioning before surgery. It allows for more thoughtful discussions and clearer expectations as you plan your breast lift.
Do You Need a Breast Lift, Implants, or Both?
Many patients aren’t sure which procedure will best achieve their goals. The right approach depends on breast position, skin elasticity, and how much fullness you want to add.
A Quick Self-Check
Look at where your nipple sits compared to the natural crease beneath your breast.
- Above the crease: Implants may be the best option if you want more fullness.
- At the crease: A lift may help improve shape.
- Below the crease or pointing downward: A lift is often recommended.
During your consultation, Dr. Sterling will evaluate your anatomy and goals to recommend the approach that creates the most balanced and natural-looking result.

Who’s a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
If your breasts no longer sit where they used to and you’re looking for a natural, lifted shape without adding size, a breast lift may be right for you.
You may be a strong candidate if:
- Your breasts sag or point downward
- Your nipples rest below the natural breast crease
- You’ve noticed a loss of firmness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
- You’re content with your breast size but want a higher, more youthful shape
- You’re in overall good health and maintain a stable weight
In some cases, another procedure or a combination of procedures may better support your anatomy and goals. Options we may discuss include:
- Breast Augmentation: Enhances fullness and shape for a more voluminous silhouette.
- Breast Reduction: Reduces excess breast tissue while improving comfort and balance.
- Mommy Makeover: Combines breast and body procedures to restore proportion after pregnancy.
During your consultation, we’ll review your goals, anatomy, and health history to determine the approach that best fits your needs.
Choosing the Right Surgical Technique
Every woman’s breast shape and degree of sagging is unique, which is why Dr. Sterling customizes each breast lift based on your anatomy and goals. During your consultation, he’ll recommend the best technique to restore height, firmness, and balance.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Sterling may use one of the following approaches:
- Crescent or Periareolar Lift: Ideal for mild sagging or enlarged areolas; creates a subtle lift through an incision around the nipple
- Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: Addresses moderate sagging by tightening extra skin and elevating the nipple for a more youthful contour
- Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift: Best for significant sagging; reshapes and tightens the entire breast
- Lift with Areola Reduction: Refines stretched or enlarged areolas while improving breast position and symmetry
- Lift with Optional Augmentation: Combines a breast lift with implants for patients who want both elevation and enhanced fullness

Your Key Questions: Answered Before You Decide
Who may not qualify for a breast lift?
Some women may need to postpone surgery if their health or lifestyle makes healing more difficult. You may not be a candidate if you:
- Are pregnant or currently breastfeeding
- Smoke or use nicotine products
- Have medical concerns that affect anesthesia or recovery
Dr. Sterling will review your medical history to make sure a breast lift is the safest choice for you.
Can a lift improve shape without implants?
Yes! A breast lift can elevate tissue, refine contours, and create a more youthful shape without adding volume. If you prefer your current size and simply want a higher, firmer appearance, a lift could be all you need.
How long do breast lift results typically last?
Your results will stay beautifully lifted for years, as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits. While the natural aging process will continue, most patients enjoy long-lasting improvements in firmness and position.
Can this procedure fix uneven or drooping breasts?
Yes, a breast lift can correct sagging and even out differences between the breasts, creating a more balanced look. Dr. Sterling will adjust tissue position, nipple height, and skin tightening to improve symmetry and restore a harmonious shape.
