Restoring Shape Without Adding Volume

Many patients consider a breast lift when their breasts feel lower, flatter, or less defined than they once were. These changes may follow pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. The goal is not to change who you are, but to restore shape and proportion.

At Restivo Plastic Surgery, breast lift surgery is guided by patient priorities and honest discussion. As a female-led, boutique practice in Maui serving all of Hawaii, care is delivered in a calm, private environment where clarity and restraint guide every recommendation.

What a Breast Lift Can Address

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes and elevates the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning tissue. Unlike augmentation, it does not rely on implants to achieve improvement.

Patients often explore a breast lift in Hawaii when breast position rather than size is the primary concern. When thoughtfully planned, the procedure restores contour and balance while maintaining a natural appearance.

Benefits of a Breast Lift

  • Improved Breast Position and Shape: A breast lift elevates and reshapes the breasts, helping restore a more youthful contour without changing overall volume.
  • Enhanced Body Proportion: By improving breast position, the procedure can create better balance between the chest, waist, and hips, improving how clothing fits.
  • Customized Surgical Planning: Each breast lift is tailored to individual anatomy, skin quality, and goals, allowing precise adjustments that support long-term results.
  • Confidence That Feels Grounded: Many patients feel more comfortable and supported after surgery, without drawing attention to having had a procedure.

Is a Breast Lift Right for You?

A breast lift may be a good option for patients who feel their breast position has changed over time and no longer reflects their body or comfort level. This often includes changes after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or natural aging that affect shape rather than volume.

Good candidates are generally in stable health and seeking refinement rather than dramatic change. During consultation, Dr. Restivo helps determine whether a breast lift in Hawaii aligns with your goals, timing, and expectations through open, pressure-free discussion.

What the Process Typically Involves

  1. A Clear, Individualized Consultation: Your consultation begins with a discussion of your concerns, lifestyle, and expectations. Dr. Restivo evaluates breast shape and tissue quality to determine whether a breast lift alone or a combined approach is most appropriate.
  2. Surgical Planning and Treatment: Breast lift surgery is performed using carefully planned incisions designed to reshape and support the breast. Surgical details and anesthesia options are reviewed in advance so expectations feel clear.
  3. Early Healing and Care: After surgery, you’ll receive guidance to support comfort and healing. Swelling, soreness, or tightness is common early and typically improves gradually over time.
  4. Continued Follow-Up: Follow-up visits allow healing to be monitored and questions addressed. Ongoing guidance ensures recovery progresses smoothly and confidently.

What Recovery
Often Involves

Recovery after a breast lift varies by individual and surgical approach. Many patients experience swelling or soreness during the early phase, with gradual improvement over the following weeks.

Activity restrictions are discussed in advance to support healing. Clear aftercare instructions and ongoing support help patients feel informed and supported throughout recovery.

How Results Continue to Settle

Initial improvements are visible as swelling subsides, with results continuing to refine as tissues heal. Breast lift outcomes are designed to restore shape while allowing the body to age naturally. Skin quality, lifestyle, and overall health influence longevity. Results are intended to remain balanced and supportive over time.

Frequently Asked Questions Breast Lift

How is a breast lift different from breast augmentation?

A breast lift reshapes and elevates existing tissue, while augmentation adds volume using implants. Some patients benefit from one approach, while others may consider a combination.

Will a breast lift change my breast size?

A breast lift does not significantly change volume, though breasts may appear slightly smaller due to reshaping and skin removal.

Are scars unavoidable with a breast lift?

Scars are a necessary part of the procedure and are planned carefully. Their placement and appearance are discussed during consultation.

Can a breast lift be combined with other procedures?

A breast lift may be combined with breast augmentation, implant removal, or body contouring when appropriate. Combination planning is discussed during consultation based on goals and recovery considerations.

How long do breast lift results last?

Results are long-lasting, though natural aging and gravity continue. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve outcomes.
