Over time, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging can cause your breasts to lose firmness and sit lower on the chest. If sagging, stretched skin, or downward-pointing nipples are affecting your confidence, a breast lift in Milwaukee can restore a more youthful, elevated contour. At Quintessa, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Daniel Butz and Dr. Jake Thayer perform personalized breast lift procedures that reshape and reposition the breasts, helping you reclaim a balanced, natural-looking silhouette that reflects how you truly feel.

Restore Youthful Breast Position
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape breasts that have lost their youthful position due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, breast tissue is repositioned, and the nipple-areola complex may be moved to a higher placement. The result is a firmer, more lifted appearance that enhances breast proportion and restores confidence without necessarily changing breast size. A lift can also improve symmetry and overall contour.

Best Candidates for a Breast Lift
Candidacy for a breast lift in Milwaukee is based on your anatomy, goals, and overall health, which we carefully assess during a detailed consultation. Our surgeons evaluate breast position, skin elasticity, and nipple placement to determine whether this procedure is the right fit for you.
The following are common concerns that a breast lift addresses:
- Sagging or drooping breasts
- Stretched breast skin
- Nipples that point downward
- Nipples positioned below the breast crease
- Uneven breast height or shape
Customized Breast Lift Approach
Every breast lift is tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our surgeons carefully customize the technique used to lift, reshape, and support your breasts based on the degree of sagging, skin quality, and nipple position. Whether you need a subtle elevation or a more comprehensive reshaping, the goal is the same: to restore a natural, youthful breast position with balanced proportions and long-lasting results. This personalized approach ensures your outcome looks refined, harmonious, and true to you.

Your Complete Breast Lift Experience
1. Consultation
During your consultation, you meet with one of our plastic surgeons to discuss your concerns, goals, and desired appearance. You’ll have a detailed examination to assess breast position, skin quality, and nipple placement. Your surgeon explains your options, reviews before-and-after photos, and answers your questions so you understand what to expect. Together, you’ll design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
2. Surgery
During your breast lift, Dr. Butz or Dr. Thayer begins by marking incision lines that follow your natural breast contours, often using a lollipop or anchor pattern depending on how much lifting you need. Under local or general anesthesia, your surgeon elevates the breast tissue, reshapes it into a firmer mound, and preserves blood supply to the nipple-areola complex. Excess skin is trimmed, the areola may be resized, and the nipple is repositioned higher. Internal sutures support the new structure before the external incisions are closed for optimal healing.
3. Recovery
After your Milwaukee breast lift, you can expect swelling, bruising, and tightness for the first several days as your body heals. You’ll wear a supportive surgical bra to protect the incisions and maintain your new breast shape. Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within one week, though lifting, exercise, and upper-body movement should be avoided for four to six weeks. As swelling subsides and tissues settle, your breasts gradually take on their lifted, refined contour.

Breast Lift FAQs:
Will a Breast Lift Change My Breast Size?
A breast lift reshapes and elevates your breasts rather than increasing or decreasing their size. However, you may perceive your breasts as slightly smaller because excess skin is removed. If you want added volume, combining a breast lift in Milwaukee with augmentation can provide a fuller look.
Will a Breast Lift Affect Nipple Sensation?
You may experience temporary changes in nipple or breast sensation due to swelling and nerve adjustments during surgery. In most cases, feeling gradually returns over several months. Permanent sensation loss is uncommon, but it depends on the extent of the lift.
How Long Do Breast Lift Results Last?
Results are long-lasting, but your breasts will continue to age naturally. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help prolong your outcome. Pregnancy, significant weight fluctuations, and gravity may cause future changes to your breasts over time.
Will There Be Visible Scars?
You will have scars where the incisions are made, often on the lower breast or around the areola. These fade over time and can be minimized with proper care and sun protection. Your surgeon will choose incision patterns to balance lift, shape, and minimal visibility.
Can You Breastfeed After a Breast Lift?
Many patients can breastfeed after a lift because the procedure aims to preserve nipple and glandular connections. However, if breastfeeding is a priority, discuss it during your consultation so your surgical plan can account for it.
