Over time, breasts can lose firmness due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy. If you are interested in rejuvenating this part of your appearance, cosmetic breast surgeon Dr. Tsion Berhane can help determine if you would benefit from a breast lift in Silver Spring.
A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, removes excess tissue and skin to reshape the breasts. Dr. Berhane and the team at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery are ready to support you throughout your aesthetics and wellness journey.
Patients in Silver Spring, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, North Bethesda, and the surrounding areas may be interested in a breast enhancement procedure if they experience the following symptoms.
As we age, it is natural for skin to lose elasticity. This can cause breasts to lose their shape and firmness, which can result in a drooping appearance.
If your nipples sit below your breast crease and point toward the ground, a lift can position them to sit higher.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can often cause the areolas to become stretched and enlarged. A breast lift can create a more proportionate look by reducing the size of your areolas.
While some degree of breast asymmetry is normal, a breast lift can help if one sags noticeably more than the other.
Sagging breasts can lead to skin irritation or pain in the back, neck, and shoulders due to the additional weight. A breast lift can help provide relief from these uncomfortable symptoms.
Our team at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery partners with patients in Silver Spring, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and North Bethesda to determine if a mastopexy would be a suitable solution. Ideal candidates for a breast lift are:
If you plan on becoming pregnant or breastfeeding in the future, it may be beneficial to delay the procedure, since both of these may cause your breasts to stretch again. Additionally, a breast lift may affect your ability to produce milk during breastfeeding.
Dr. Berhane will explain every step of this breast-enhancing procedure, ensuring Silver Spring patients feel confident and informed. The procedure takes several hours to complete, and you can return home later the same day.
Every patient’s needs are unique, and the surgical process reflects this. Depending on what will work best for you, our cosmetic surgeon may make incisions:
She will then layer sutures within the breast tissue to support your new breast shape before closing the skin with sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape.
Before you leave, we make sure you are stable, comfortable, and clear on incision care, activity limits, and follow-up. You will go home with written instructions and a direct plan for how to reach us, because every patient is personally supported throughout the process.
After you schedule your Silver Spring breast lift surgery, we will provide clear instructions so you know exactly how to prepare. This usually includes medication and supplement guidance, planning time off, and setting up a comfortable recovery space at home. If you use nicotine, we will discuss a safe stop timeline because it can affect healing.
You will also want to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you the first night. Simple steps like hydration, protein-forward meals, and loose, front-opening clothing can make the first few days easier. We will review what to wear (loose, front-opening tops are helpful) and what to avoid so your recovery starts smoothly and confidently.
After your Silver Spring mastopexy procedure, our team will discuss your recovery process and inform you about how to take care of yourself and optimize your results.
Recovery is a gradual process, and we guide you through it in a way that feels manageable. In the first few days, you can expect swelling, tightness, and soreness that improve steadily. You will be encouraged to walk gently, rest often, and keep your upper body supported. Most patients can return to desk-based work within about one week, depending on how they feel and what their job requires.
Over the next few weeks, swelling continues to decrease, and your breast shape begins to settle. You will wear supportive garments as directed, avoid heavy lifting, and pause upper-body workouts until Dr. Berhane clears you. Many patients resume light exercise first, then gradually return to more vigorous activity over several weeks. Follow-up visits are part of your care so we can answer questions, monitor healing, and help you stay on track.
You will notice a change in breast position and shape immediately, with continued refinement as swelling resolves and tissues settle over the following months. Final results often look more natural once the breasts soften into their new contour. Scars also mature over time, typically fading and flattening gradually with proper care.
A breast lift can provide long-lasting improvement, but your body will still change with time. Weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and natural aging can affect longevity, which is why we emphasize stable habits and supportive bras for high-impact activity. During your follow-up plan in Silver Spring, we will discuss realistic maintenance strategies to help you protect your results and feel confident in your refreshed look for years to come.
