Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in Richmond, TX
Restore youthful, uplifted breast contours by removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue, with a technique tailored to your degree of laxity.
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, corrects sagging, pendulous breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the breast tissue. The breasts are raised to a higher position, made firmer, and shaped into more attractive and youthful contours.
Aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes can all leave breasts with loose skin and an unattractive shape. Dr. Hua offers a range of lift techniques, from minimal-scar to full anchor, to match each patient’s anatomy.

Techniques
Tailored approaches
Crescent Lift
Ideal for: slight sagging.
A crescent of tissue above the top of the nipple is removed — the least invasive lift, producing inconspicuous scarring.
Benelli (Donut) Lift
Ideal for: minimal sagging and slight nipple asymmetry.
A doughnut-shaped area of tissue around the nipple is removed — producing inconspicuous scarring around the areola.
Lollipop Lift
Ideal for: moderate sagging and stretched nipples.
A lollipop-shaped incision around the nipple and down to the breast crease is used to remove excess tissue — effectively lifting low-hanging breasts.
Anchor Lift
Ideal for: severely sagging, pendulous breasts.
A lollipop-shaped incision that extends along the breast crease provides the most significant lift available.
Cost
How much does a breast lift cost in Katy and Richmond?
One of the most common questions we hear is how much a boob lift costs. The answer depends on your anatomy and your plan, so Dr. Hua gives each patient a personalized quote at their consultation. These are the main factors that affect the total:
- Degree of sagging and technique. A crescent or Benelli lift involves less surgery than a lollipop or anchor lift, and the technique that fits you depends on how much the breasts and nipples have dropped.
- Adding implants. Many women pair a lift with breast augmentation to restore upper-breast volume. Implants and the added operating time increase the cost.
- Combined procedures. A lift is often part of a Mommy Makeover with a tummy tuck or liposuction. Combining procedures in one surgery means one anesthesia and one recovery.
- Anesthesia and facility fees. The type of anesthesia and the surgical facility add to the total, separate from the surgeon’s fee.
- Recovery supplies. Post-surgery garments and prescribed medications can add to the overall cost.
A breast lift is usually considered cosmetic, so health insurance does not typically cover it. Many patients use financing through Cherry, CareCredit, or PatientFi.
