Breast · Oklahoma City

Breast Lift in Oklahoma City.

A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes breasts that have settled with time, pregnancy, or weight change. The surgeon removes extra skin, reshapes the tissue, and moves the nipple to a higher, natural position.

A lift restores position, not volume. If you also want more fullness, a lift can be combined with an implant — a decision made with your surgeon at the exam, not from a menu.

The program’s most common combined plan is mastopexy-augmentation — lift plus implant in one operation. Whether you need a lift, an implant, or both is an exam question, answered at consultation.

How it works

What happens in the operating room.

  1. You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep).
  2. The surgeon makes cuts around the areola — often extending down the breast, sometimes along the fold.
  3. Extra skin is removed and the breast tissue is reshaped and supported.
  4. The nipple and areola are moved to a higher, natural position — still attached to their blood supply.
  5. If an implant is part of your plan, it is placed in the same operation.
  6. The cuts are closed in layers with dissolving stitches. Surgery takes two to three hours.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult

Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.

  • Changes in nipple feeling — it may decrease, increase, or go away.
  • Loss of part or all of the nipple is very rare, from loss of blood supply.
  • Breastfeeding may be affected for some women.
  • Scars that stay raised, wide, or dark — lift scars are longer than implant scars.
  • The breasts settle over time; some drop back is normal and some is not predictable.
  • Uneven results. The two breasts are never a perfect match.
  • Slow wound healing where the scars meet, especially in smokers.
  • Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
  • Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
  • Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
  • Problems from anesthesia. These are rare in healthy people.
  • The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.

Recovery, honestly

What the weeks actually look like.

The arc

First few daysSoreness and swelling, managed with a supportive bra. Walk the same day; sleep on your back.
One weekMost people with desk jobs return to work. No lifting over ten pounds.
Two weeksSoreness fades; light lower-body exercise is usually fine.
Six weeksFull exercise, including chest workouts. Shape keeps settling.
One yearScars fade from red to thin, pale lines.

When to call, day or night

In any emergency, call 911 first

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department now — do not drive yourself, do not wait:

  • Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing.
  • Fainting, sudden confusion, or weakness on one side of the body.
  • One leg swells, or one calf hurts more than the other.
  • Blood soaks a bandage and does not slow down with gentle pressure.

Otherwise call 405-751-0042, day or night, if:

  • One breast becomes much more swollen, tight, or painful than the other.
  • You have a fever of 101.5°F (38.6°C) or higher.
  • Redness spreads out from an incision, or you see pus.
  • A nipple or area of skin turns dark or dusky — call right away.

Cost, answered

What a breast lift actually costs.

We don’t do internet price tags. Pricing moves with your anatomy, primary versus revision, and what your plan combines — so your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included. We honor it.

How pricing worksFinancing options
Lift alone, lift with implants, or reduction — three different operations, one honest exam to tell you which one your anatomy is asking for.

Questions

Asked at nearly every consult.

How long does the surgery take?
Two to three hours for most plans — longer when an implant is placed in the same operation. You go home the same day.
When can I be back at work?
Most people with desk jobs return at about one week. No lifting over ten pounds at first; full exercise at six weeks.
Will there be scars?
Yes — around the areola, usually extending down the breast, sometimes along the fold. They are real, they are planned with you, and most fade substantially over a year.
What does it cost?
Pricing is personal — it depends on your anatomy and the complexity of your plan. Your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included.
Can I have my surgery in Oklahoma City?
Yes — Oklahoma Surgical Arts operates two operating rooms in Oklahoma City, and surgery can be scheduled in OKC or Tulsa. Your surgery, your choice of city.
