Why Breast Lift in Toronto is Your Best Choice

If you’ve tried different bras, tapes, and temporary fixes but still aren’t getting the lasting lift you want, a breast lift could be the perfect solution. You’re not alone—more and more women are choosing mastopexy to restore their shape and confidence. In fact, the global breast lift market was valued at $3.2 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $5.9 billion by 2031, growing at a steady 6.3% annually.

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes and elevates sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the tissue for a firmer, more youthful contour.

At McRae Plastic Surgery, your breast lift is carefully customized to match your natural proportions and aesthetic goals. The procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours, and while you’ll notice an immediate improvement, your final results will fully develop over the next 3 to 6 months as swelling subsides.

One of our patients shares her experience with McRae Plastic Surgery:

“Dr. McRae and his staff are excellent. They were friendly, helpful and did all they could to put me at ease and make the process as simple as possible. Not to mention that Dr. McRae’s work is second to none and I couldn’t be happier.”

Who is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Candidate?

Whether due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes, many women experience sagging that can’t be fixed with bras or exercise alone. Here are the key factors that determine if a breast lift is right for you:

Common Concerns

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: If your breasts have lost volume and firmness after having children, a breast lift can help reshape them.
Weight Loss: Major weight loss can leave excess, loose skin, causing the breasts to sag. A breast lift can restore a firmer, more proportionate look.
Natural Aging: Over time, gravity and skin laxity cause breasts to lose their youthful position. A breast lift can reverse these effects, enhancing your natural shape.

Ideal Candidates

You’re generally healthy and at a stable weight
You have sagging breasts or downward-pointing nipples
You want to enhance your natural shape without implants (though a lift can be combined with implants for added volume)
You’re done having children (pregnancy can affect long-term results)

What Type of Breast Lift Do You Need? Here’s How to Decide

While all breast lifts restore a perkier shape, the right technique depends on how much sagging you have and the results you want to achieve. Here’s how to determine which type of breast lift is best for you:

If You Have Mild Sagging → Crescent Breast Lift: A crescent breast lift is ideal if you have minimal sagging and only need a slight lift. This technique involves a small incision along the upper edge of the areola, making it a great choice if you want subtle improvement.
If You Have Mild to Moderate Sagging → Donut (Areola) Breast Lift: For slightly more noticeable sagging, a donut breast lift (or periareolar lift) provides a natural lift using an incision around the areola. It’s a good option if you need minor reshaping but want to avoid vertical or horizontal scars.
If You Want More Reshaping → Vertical (Lollipop) Breast Lift: A vertical breast lift, also called a lollipop lift, is best if your breasts have moderate sagging and need more reshaping. This technique uses an incision around the areola and a vertical incision down the lower breast, allowing for more contouring and a higher lift.
If You Have Significant Sagging → Anchor Breast Lift: For major sagging and stretched skin, an anchor breast lift is the most effective solution. It involves three incisions: around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the breast crease.
If You Have Mild Sagging but Want More Volume → Mini Breast Lift: A mini breast lift is best if you have mild sagging but also want fuller, rounder breasts. This technique uses a small incision and is often combined with breast implants for added volume.

Stages of the Breast Lift Surgical Process

Consultation and Planning

Your surgery begins with a consultation with Dr. McRae, where you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and concerns. He will assess your breast shape, skin elasticity, and level of sagging to determine the best technique.

Preparation

Before surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions on how to prepare, including lifestyle adjustments like quitting smoking and avoiding certain medications.

Anesthesia

On the day of surgery, anesthesia will be administered to keep you completely comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.

Surgical Procedure

Dr. McRae will make planned incisions, remove excess skin, and reshape the breast tissue to achieve a lifted, firmer contour. If needed, the nipple and areola may be repositioned.

Closing the Incisions

Once the adjustments are made, the incisions are closed with sutures to promote healing and minimize scarring. Surgical tape or drains may be used to support recovery.

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, you’ll be monitored before going home. Dr. McRae will provide a detailed aftercare plan, including how to manage swelling, when to resume daily activities, and when to attend follow-up visits.

How Does Mastopexy Affect Breastfeeding?

Breast lift surgery can influence breastfeeding, but with the right approach, many women are still able to nurse their babies successfully. Here’s what you should know:

Potential Nerve and Duct Impact: Depending on the surgery, milk ducts or nerves could be affected, which might influence milk production or flow. But don’t worry—Dr. McRae is highly skilled and takes great care to minimize these risks, ensuring the best possible outcome for you.
Changes in Nipple Sensitivity: It’s possible to experience changes in nipple sensitivity, which can affect breastfeeding comfort. Dr. McRae will work with you to select the most appropriate technique to reduce the likelihood of this happening.
Planning for the Future: If you plan to have children and breastfeed later on, it’s important to discuss this with Dr. McRae. He’ll help you make informed decisions about your surgery to protect your ability to breastfeed in the future.

How to Prepare for a Breast Lift

Preparing for a breast lift involves several steps to ensure the best possible outcome and a smooth recovery. Here’s a guide to help you prepare for your breast lift surgery:

4 Weeks Before Surgery

Start with a consultation with Dr. McRae to discuss your goals and the procedure. If you smoke or take certain medications, follow any recommended changes to prepare for surgery.
2 Weeks Before Surgery

Ensure you have all recovery supplies, like loose clothing, compression garments, and medications. Focus on a healthy lifestyle—eating well and staying hydrated will aid your recovery.
1 Week Before Surgery

Confirm your surgery details with Dr. McRae’s office and set up a comfortable recovery space at home with essentials within reach.
The Day Before Surgery

The day before surgery is all about final preparations. Pack a bag with essentials like your ID, paperwork, and comfortable clothes for the trip home.
The Day of Surgery

Follow Dr. McRae's instructions, like fasting, and arrive at the surgical center on time. Stay calm and trust in your preparation and Dr. McRae's expertise.

Aftercare and Recovery of Breast Lift Surgery

Proper aftercare is key to a smooth recovery and achieving the best results from your breast reduction. Here’s what to expect:

The First 24 Hours

Rest and recovery are key in the first 24 hours. You’ll need someone to assist you, and Dr. McRae will provide pain management instructions and recommend wearing a supportive surgical bra to reduce swelling.
The First Week

Focus on rest and avoid strenuous activities. Dr. McRae will check your healing progress and may remove dressings or stitches. Continue wearing your supportive bra and move carefully to avoid straining your incisions.
2-3 Weeks Post-Surgery

You’ll start to feel better and may resume light activities, but avoid heavy lifting or exercise. Swelling will decrease, and Dr. McRae will guide you on when to return to more normal routines.
4-6 Weeks Post Surgery

Swelling should be minimal, and you can gradually resume regular activities, including light exercise. Continue following Dr. McRae’s advice on activity levels and wear supportive garments as needed.
3-6 Month Post Surgery

Your breasts will settle into their new shape, and scars will begin to fade. Regular follow-ups with Dr. McRae will ensure everything is healing well, and by this time, you should be fully recovered and enjoying your results.

Can a Breast Lift Be Combined With Other Surgeries?

Dr. McRae may suggest combining a breast lift with other procedures to help you achieve the best results. Doing multiple procedures at once can enhance your body’s balance and save you from multiple recovery periods. Here are some common procedures that can be done along with a breast lift:

Breast Lift with Implants

If you’re looking to enhance both the shape and size of your breasts, combining a breast lift with implants could be the perfect solution. A breast lift helps raise and reshape sagging breasts, while implants add fullness and volume for a more balanced look.

Breast Lift With Fat Transfer

If you want to lift and enhance your breasts without implants, combining a breast lift with fat transfer could be the perfect option. A breast lift reshapes and raises sagging breasts, while fat transfer uses your own natural fat to add subtle volume and fullness. Dr. McRae will create a soft, natural look that feels like you—just with a little extra lift and shape!

Breast Lift with Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Combining a breast lift with a tummy tuck is a great option if you’re looking to restore your body’s shape after pregnancy or weight loss. A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts, while a tummy tuck tightens the abdomen and removes excess skin. This combination, often part of a mommy makeover, helps you achieve a firmer look.

Breast Lift Costs

At our practice, we understand that a breast lift is a significant investment in your appearance and confidence. Depending on the specifics of your procedure and the personalized care you receive, the cost typically ranges from $7,500 to $15,000.

This cost includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, use of our state-of-the-art surgical facility, and comprehensive post-operative care. We are committed to providing a transparent breakdown of these costs during your consultation so you understand what’s involved in your breast lift journey.
