What Is a Breast Lift?
A surgical breast lift is a cosmetic treatment that lifts and tightens the breasts by removing loose skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to produce a firmer, younger look. This cosmetic breast surgery is performed for women who have lost breast shape and volume and who have breast sagging due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Medical breakthroughs in breast lift surgery have made this aesthetic surgery so successful that new stats released by the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) show an approximate 70% increase in demand since 2000. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scot A. Martin offers this procedure at Martin Plastic Surgery. By utilizing the most state-of-the-art methods, Dr. Martin can choose the proper technique according to the degree of sag present as well as the desired outcome.

How Is Breast Lift Performed?
A breast lift takes about 2 – 4 hours and is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. The timeframe of this procedure is dependent on the complexity of breast drooping. The surgical technique used for cosmetic breast lift surgery typically falls into two categories — these are based on the nature of the incision. The inverted-T (known as an anchor) and the vertical incisions are the most used types. After making the incision, any wrinkly and loose skin is carefully trimmed away along with breast tissue and fat that is not desired. The skin left behind is then tightened and the breasts are positioned higher and lifted so they look healthy and younger. In many cases, the size of the areola is reconstructed and reduced to match the new shape of the breast. It is during this time an implant or a fat transfer can be placed in the breast if this was discussed with Dr. Martin prior to surgery. If the lift is the only technique being performed and if size and shape are a worry, silicone or saline implants can be done at a later date.
What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?

- Enhanced contour
- Improved symmetry
- Reduced sagging
- Boosted confidence
- Better support
Martin Plastic Surgery Reviews
I can not express how much I love this surgeon and his staff. I had a breast lift and reduction done. I had 385cc implants from a previous surgery and exchanged them for 290cc, i reduced them by 100cc. My incisions are super thin like thread, very light. He only uses dissolvable stitches so no coming back to get anything taken off and no drains. The less tugging and pain the better! My nipples are beautiful, i was left with unattractive scars from a previous surgeon & dr Martin corrected them. I have perky, firm breast that fit my tiny frame. He knows exactly what your body is built for, he knows exactly how firm , how round or how much fullness needs to be up top. I’m so happy. I just want to add that it’s not just the work that gets done, it’s the genuine care the staff and Dr Martin provide. They provide the reassurance you need the entire time. They’re readily available for any emergency or concern. Surgery is quick and painless. The anesthesiologist knows her stuff, she’s good. I’m tiny 105lbs 4’11, I always get so scared because I’m so small but you’re in good hands. I had to go under twice because freak accident I did something to my left breast the first night, I had blood leaking which led to a small hematoma. The staff or Dr Martin didn’t cease contact with me or disappear, consistently calling or texting me to advise me, brought me back in immediately and put me in immediate surgery. Cleaned me up and had a new implant put in. None of my work was compromised. They genuinely cared about my well being, if I was in any pain, about my concern for the scars. I felt taken care of and wasn’t left anxious. I truly wish I had come to Dr Martin the first time I had breast implants put in. I made the mistake of going with a different surgeon and I paid the price financially, physically, mentally. 7 years later I corrected it. Do yourself the favor. You’ll be happy you had your surgery with Dr Martin. Don’t worry you’re given good pain meds after the surgery so you’re not in pain. They actually work too. Nicole the RN in the office is a living gem. She will be with you till your last check up. Nothing is ridiculous or too small to ask. I live in Florida, traveled to las cruces so Dr Martin could do my surgery. I was actually sad to leave this office, wish they were in Florida! Good luck ladies! Book your surgery ASAP! you love your body ♥️
