What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is more than just lifting tissue—it’s about restoring the natural harmony of your figure. At The Geldner Center, we approach this procedure with precision and artistry, elevating the breast and repositioning the nipple to better reflect your unique anatomy. Whether age, pregnancy, or weight loss has changed your shape, our goal is to help you feel like yourself again.
“After my breast lift, I feel more confident in everything I wear. Dr. Geldner and his team were incredible.”

Benefits of Breast Lift
The real benefit of a breast lift is how it makes you feel—confident, comfortable, and more at ease in your body. While the procedure restores a more youthful breast shape and contour, our patients often say it’s the emotional lift that’s just as powerful. A breast lift is also for those who, after taking a GLP-1 agonist such as Ozempic, lose breast volume, and that can be restored with a lift with or without implants. At The Geldner Center, we help you rediscover that sense of self you may have thought was gone.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
You may be a great candidate for a breast lift if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Are bothered by sagging or elongated breasts
- Have nipples that point downward or fall below the breast crease
- Have stable weight and realistic expectations
Many patients are in their 30s to 60s, but age is not the most important factor. A consultation with Dr. Geldner is the best way to determine whether mastopexy is right for you.
The Procedure Process
The process starts with a thorough consultation at either our Chicago or Oak Brook location. You’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and options with Dr. Geldner. On the day of surgery, you’ll be under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical suite. After your procedure, you’ll return for follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure your results meet your expectations.
Recovery and Aftercare: A Step-by-Step Guide. Your healing journey is just as important as the procedure itself. Here’s what to expect:
- Days 1–3: Rest is key—but so is gentle movement. We recommend light walks around the house to support healing, and you’ll wear a soft surgical bra to help protect your results and ease swelling.
- Weeks 1–2: As your body adjusts, swelling begins to fade. Most patients return to light activities and work during this time. You’ll come in for a follow-up so we can monitor your progress and answer any questions.
- Weeks 4–6: Energy returns, and so does your comfort. You may begin light exercise and shift to a more comfortable support bra. We’ll guide you step by step to ensure you’re healing beautifully.
- After 6 Weeks: Most patients feel like themselves again—and love what they see. You’ll notice smoother contours, lifted curves, and growing confidence in your reflection.
Your breasts will appear lifted immediately, though swelling may mask final contours at first. Over the following weeks and months, you’ll notice enhanced shape, symmetry, and firmness. Scars typically fade with time and proper care. Patients often describe their results as a “natural lift” or “refined contour” that looks and feels like their younger selves.
While complications are rare, every surgery carries some risks. These may include bleeding, infection, unfavorable scarring, or changes in nipple sensation. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Geldner helps minimize risks. The surgical center follow strict safety protocols to ensure your well-being at every stage.

Some patients retain the ability to breastfeed, depending on the technique used. Discuss future plans with Dr. Geldner during your consultation.
Not everyone needs or wants implants. If you’re happy with your current volume but desire a more lifted shape, a breast lift alone may be exactly what you need. During your consultation, Dr. Geldner will guide you through your options—whether that’s a lift by itself or a combined procedure for added fullness. It’s about achieving your ideal, not a one-size-fits-all result.
