If you are seeking to improve your sagging, drooping breasts without implants, a surgical breast lift (mastopexy) might be right for you. This procedure, performed by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Kai Morimoto, can permanently lift and reshape your breasts to a more youthful and attractive position while enhancing their firmness and appearance.

A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to correct ptosis, the medical term for breast sagging. Although ptosis is a natural part of aging, it can lead to a loss of elasticity and firmness in your breast skin and tissue, resulting in a worn appearance.
While age is the primary cause of ptosis, it is not the only factor. Some women may develop breast ptosis at a younger age due to various reasons, including:
If you are looking for a permanent solution to treat breast sagging in Coeur d’Alene, a breast lift may be suitable for you.
Many patients in Coeur d’Alene may choose to have a professional breast lift at KM Plastic Surgery because they experience one or more of the following concerns:
The ideal candidate for breast lift surgery should be in good overall health, with no chronic diseases or pre-existing medical conditions. You may also be required to follow general pre-surgical guidelines, such as quitting smoking.
Dr. Morimoto will tailor your breast contouring surgery in Coeur d’Alene based on your needs and goals and perform your breast lift procedure under anesthesia. Your surgery will consider your breast anatomy, the amount of excess skin, the size and position of your areolae, the degree of breast sagging (ptosis), and the quality and elasticity of your skin.
Dr. Morimoto will make precise incisions in your breast to remove excess skin and tissue. She will then lift and reshape your underlying breast tissue and reposition your nipples to a more youthful position. Immediately following surgery, you will notice that your breasts appear fuller and firmer. Over time, as you heal, any incision scars will fade or diminish.
While a surgical breast lift can lift and contour your breasts, it cannot increase your breast volume. If you wish to enhance your breast volume and cup size, you may opt for a breast augmentation and lift. This approach can help you achieve the results of both procedures simultaneously, lifting your breasts while enhancing your breast volume, fullness, and cleavage. Your surgeon can help you determine if a simultaneous breast lift and augmentation can address your needs.
Dr. Morimoto will provide personalized recommendations to help you maintain your breast lift results. Focus on maintaining a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. For the first few weeks after surgery, avoid workouts and strenuous exercise. During this time, you will need to wear a special binder to aid your recovery. After about three weeks, you may switch to a sports bra for additional support. To ease your recovery, arrange for assistance with household tasks, childcare, and other needs in advance. Our medical team will ask that you attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
During your personalized consultation, your surgeon will assess your specific concerns and goals and develop a customized surgical plan for optimal results.
If you are ready to transform your body with beautifully lifted, contoured, and elevated breasts—without implants—a breast lift in Coeur d’Alene may be the right procedure for you.
