Breast surgery planning with cosmetic surgical markings

Elevate Your Confidence with Breast Lift Surgery

Dr. Michele Koo, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, understands that achieving beautifully contoured breasts goes beyond the standard augmentation. Sometimes, it’s about lifting and reshaping to restore youthful firmness and symmetry. With years of expertise in cosmetic breast surgery, Dr. Koo specializes in the art of the breast lift (mastopexy), ensuring natural, full, and harmonious results that align with your aesthetic goals.

Customized Breast Enhancement

Whether you’re seeking a breast lift alone or considering a combination with augmentation or reduction, Dr. Koo tailors each procedure to your unique needs and desires. During your consultation, she’ll assess factors like breast volume, skin elasticity, and nipple position to determine the optimal surgical approach for achieving your desired outcome.

The Breast Lift Procedure

The key to a successful breast lift lies in the precise placement of incisions, which can vary based on your individual anatomy and corrective needs. There are three common incision locations for a breast lift and Dr. Koo can help to determine which incision location will deliver the best results.

The three breast lift incision locations include:

  1. Periareolar Incision (AKA the donut): Around the areola.
  2. Vertical Incision (AKA the lollipop): Around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease
  3. Inverted T Incision (AKA the anchor): Around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease

Following the chosen incision, Dr. Koo skillfully lifts and reshapes the underlying breast tissue, removing excess skin to restore a youthful contour and firmness.

Optimize Your Healing. Elevate Your Results.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I operate on skin every day. That surgical perspective is exactly why I formulated my medical-grade skincare line — to optimize skin health before and after surgery at the cellular level.

Breast lift patients see the most dramatic improvement when their skin is optimally conditioned. Resilient, well-nourished skin responds to lifting and reshaping with better elasticity, smoother scarring, and longer-lasting contour.

Pre-Surgical Skin Prep

THD-Ascorbate (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) at therapeutic concentration strengthens collagen architecture and optimizes tissue resilience before your procedure.

Skin Elasticity Support

Targeted barrier-repair formulations maintain dermal hydration and support the elastic fiber network — critical for preserving the lifted contour as your tissue heals and adapts.

Long-Term Skin Health

Medical-grade active ingredients at therapeutic doses — not marketing doses — to maintain your investment in yourself for years to come.
