Breast · the procedure family

Breast Lift in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A breast lift raises sagging breasts to a higher position. The surgeon removes extra skin and reshapes the breast tissue. The nipple is moved up to the center of the new breast shape. It stays attached to its blood supply.

A lift does not add much size. Some women pair a lift with an implant for fullness.

Performed by the surgeons of Tulsa Surgical Arts — the practice behind the AACS-certified cosmetic surgery fellowship — in an AAAHC-accredited surgery center with a private overnight guest suite. Shape restored, in proportion.

How it works

What happens in the operating room.

  1. You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep).
  2. The surgeon makes cuts in a planned pattern. A common one circles the nipple and runs down to the breast fold.
  3. Extra skin is removed and the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted.
  4. The nipple is moved up without being detached.
  5. The cuts are closed in layers. A soft surgical bra goes on.
  6. Surgery takes about two to three hours. You go home the same day.

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.

  • Changed nipple feeling. It usually returns but can be permanent.
  • Loss of blood flow to the nipple. This is rare. Smoking raises the risk a lot.
  • Breastfeeding may be affected for some women.
  • Sagging can slowly return with time, weight change, or pregnancy.
  • Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
  • Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
  • Scars. Every cut leaves a scar. Most fade over a year. Some stay raised or wide.
  • Numb skin near the cuts. Feeling usually returns over months. Small areas can stay numb.
  • Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
  • Problems from anesthesia (the medicine that makes you sleep). These are rare in healthy people.
  • Uneven results. The two sides of the body are never a perfect match.
  • The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.

Cost, answered

What 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 — PatientFi · CareCredit · Cherry
Combining procedures shares anesthesia and facility time — combinations are priced as one plan at consultation.
