Many women choose breast enhancement procedures to help restore their confidence and body contour. Among these options, the breast lift or mastopexy has become one of the most sought-after surgeries for women looking to correct sagging or loss of shape caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or the natural effects of aging. The 2023 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) shows that more than 153,000 breast lift (mastopexy) surgeries were performed across the United States in 2023, representing about a 7 percent rise from the year before. More women are seeking natural, rejuvenated results that enhance rather than exaggerate their appearance.
In Arizona and across the US, interest in breast lifts continues to rise, especially among women balancing active lifestyles, family, and professional commitments who want results that look natural and feel authentic. Choosing the right surgeon for your breast lift is crucial to achieving that balance. The surgeon’s technique, artistic precision, and understanding of your anatomy directly influence both the aesthetic outcome and your comfort throughout the process.
Elite Plastic Surgery Chandler, AZ, has guided many women through this transformative decision. Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in creating refined, natural results tailored to your individual goals. In this guide, we’ll explain how to choose the best breast lift surgeon in Chandler, what qualifications and qualities to look for, and how our team helps patients make informed, confident choices for long-lasting results that feel as good as they look.
Understanding Breast Lift Surgery
A breast lift, or mastopexy, removes excess skin and reshapes breast tissue to create a more youthful, elevated appearance. Your surgeon repositions the nipple and areola to a higher location while removing sagging skin.
When Breast Lifts Make Sense
This procedure addresses changes from pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging. You might benefit from mastopexy if you have:
- Breasts that sag or droop
- Nipples pointing downward
- Stretched areolas
- Loss of breast firmness
- Uneven breast appearance
Breast lifts differ from augmentation. While augmentation adds volume through implants or fat transfer, mastopexy elevates and reshapes existing tissue without necessarily changing size.
Patient Satisfaction Data
Data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) indicates that in 2023, more than 153,000 women underwent breast lift surgery in the United States, making it one of the five most commonly performed cosmetic procedures nationwide. Studies show that when breast lift surgeries are carried out by board-certified plastic surgeons, patient satisfaction consistently exceeds 95 percent, underscoring the procedure’s success in achieving desired aesthetic outcomes.
Board Certification and Training Requirements
Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is non-negotiable when selecting a surgeon. This credential requires:
- 6-8 years of surgical training after medical school
- At least 3 years dedicated to plastic surgery
- Passing comprehensive written and oral examinations
- Ongoing continuing education throughout the career
- Board-certified plastic surgeons follow rigorous ethical standards and operate exclusively in accredited surgical facilities, maintaining the highest level of patient safety and professional integrity.

Questions to Ask During Your Consultation
Your consultation reveals the surgeon’s quality and practice standards. Come prepared with these specific questions:
Experience and Outcomes
“How many breast lifts do you perform annually?”
This reveals whether mastopexy is a regular practice or an occasional procedure. Regular volume develops refined techniques and consistent results.
“Can I see before and after photos of similar cases?”
You need actual results from patients with breast characteristics similar to yours, not stock photos. We maintain a gallery of breast lift before and after photos.
“What is your revision rate and common revision reasons?”
Rates consistently above 5-7% may indicate issues. Honest surgeons discuss revision rates openly.
“How do you handle post-surgery complications?”
At Elite Plastic Surgery, our surgeons are available 24/7. You’ll have direct access to Dr. Rozbeh or Dr. Radbeh, not just office staff.
Your Surgical Plan
“Which technique do you recommend and why?”
Multiple approaches exist:
- Crescent lift: Minimal incision for slight sagging
- Periareolar lift: Around the areola for mild-moderate sagging
- Vertical “lollipop” lift: Around the areola and vertically down for moderate sagging
- Anchor “inverted-T” lift: Most extensive for significant sagging
Your surgeon should explain their specific recommendation based on your anatomy and goals.
“Where will incisions be placed?”
Understanding incision placement helps you evaluate the tradeoff between scarring and results. Bras and swimwear typically hide incisions.
“What type of anesthesia will be used?”
Breast lifts require general anesthesia. A board-certified anesthesiologist should manage your anesthesia.
Recovery and Results
“What is the realistic recovery timeline?”
You should receive specific guidance about work, exercise, lifting restrictions, and when final results appear.
“What post-operative care do you provide?”
Elite Plastic Surgery offers evidence-based treatments that accelerate healing and support better outcomes.
“How long do the results last?”
Results are long-lasting but not permanent. Aging, gravity, weight changes, and pregnancy affect breast position over time.
Warning Signs
Be cautious of surgeons who:
- Guarantee specific results
- Pressure immediate scheduling
- Provide vague answers about complications
- Show only perfect results
- Have staff answering medical questions
- Don’t operate at accredited facilities
Understanding Mastopexy Investment
Breast lift cost varies based on surgical complexity, surgeon qualifications, facility quality, anesthesia services, and included care. While we provide specific pricing during consultation, understanding these factors helps you evaluate options.
Cost Factors
Surgical Complexity:
Periareolar lifts for minimal sagging cost less than anchor lifts for severe ptosis due to time and technical demands.
Surgeon Expertise:
Board-certified surgeons with extensive training charge higher fees but typically deliver better outcomes, lower complication rates, and fewer revisions.
Facility Quality:
Accredited surgical facilities with modern equipment and experienced staff cost more but provide superior safety.
Geographic Location:
Metropolitan areas like Phoenix and Chandler reflect higher practice overhead and demand.
Combined Procedures:
Many combine breast lifts with augmentation or reduction, which can be more efficient than staging separately.
Financing Options
We work with healthcare lending companies to provide flexible monthly payment plans that fit various budgets. Focus on value and qualifications rather than price alone.
