What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a body-contouring procedure that lifts and tightens the breasts by reducing excess skin and surgically tightening the remaining tissue to result in a more youthful and healthier look. This surgery is offered for women who have lost breast firmness, size, and shape and who have breast sag due to aging, significant weight loss, or nursing. Outstanding advancements in breast lift surgery have made this procedure so effective that new statistics from the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) reveal around a 70% increase in demand since 2000. Dr. Ross Bunch, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Tuscaloosa, AL, performs breast lift surgeries, including the extended breast lift, by integrating the latest methods and techniques.

How Is a Breast Lift Performed?
Donut Breast Lift
A donut breast lift is a minimally invasive technique best suited for patients with mild sagging who are looking for subtle improvement in breast shape and position. This procedure uses an incision placed around the outer edge of the areola to gently lift the breast, improve symmetry, and reposition the nipple for a more youthful appearance while keeping scarring limited.
Vertical Breast Lift
The vertical breast lift is ideal for patients with moderate sagging who want improved shape, firmness, and breast positioning. Using an incision around the areola and vertically down the breast, this technique allows for more reshaping and contouring while creating natural, lifted results and enhanced breast projection.
Full/Anchor Breast Lift
The full, or anchor, breast lift is recommended for patients with moderate to significant sagging and excess skin. This technique uses additional incisions to allow for more dramatic reshaping, nipple repositioning, and skin tightening. It is especially effective for restoring a lifted, balanced contour and creating a firmer, more youthful breast appearance.
Extended Full Breast Lift
An extended full breast lift is designed for patients with more extensive skin laxity, often after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or significant weight loss. This advanced technique extends beyond the traditional anchor lift to remove excess skin and tissue along a wider area, helping create smoother contours, improved symmetry, and a more proportionate shape.
What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?
A breast lift offers several benefits for those looking to enhance their breast shape and position. Some benefits include:
- Raises and reshapes sagging breasts
- Improves breast symmetry
- Enhances the appearance of the décolletage
- Reduces skin irritation under the breasts
- Boosts self-confidence and comfort in clothing
Breast Lift Reviews
The Best surgeon Hands down - When I say Dr Bunch is the best, He is that. I drove 3 1/2 hours to have 2 different surgeries with him. Wait time was minimal. Very personable and professional.I have had a tummy tuck with breast lift as well as an arm lift. Both surgeries went great! No complications. Ben and Mallory are awesome. No matter the day or time, when I email I always get a response, even on weekends. He gave me my confidence back! I Would highly recommend Dr Ross Bunch for any of your plastic surgery needs.
Dr. Bunch is the best of the best - I’ve had an extended tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks and chin/neck lipo with him and I absolutely love my results. Dr. B and his team were amazing, they communicated with me through the process and even continued checking on me after my surgery making sure I was healing and had everything I needed. I also had a breast lift with Dr. Bunch and his team and again, another wonderful experience. Dr. Bunch’s bedside manner is one of a kind and his results are amazing!
Office review - Very personable and professional - When I say Dr Bunch is the best, He is that. I drove 3 1/2 hours to have 2 different surgeries with him. If I had to do it all over, Id still choose him. Very personable and professional.I have had a tummy tuck with breast lift as well as an arm lift. Both surgeries went great! No complications.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Bunch and his team! From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Bunch took the time to answer all of my questions and made me feel confident in my decision to move forward with a tummy tuck and breast lift.The results have exceeded my expectations — I feel like the best version of myself! My recovery was smooth, and I truly believe that’s a reflection of both his skill and the thorough pre- and post-op care provided by his staff.If you’re considering cosmetic surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Bunch. He’s not only an incredible surgeon but also kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about his patients.
I had a MMO (extended tummy tuck, breast lift and implants) in March 2025.When I visited Dr. Bunch for a free consultation, I knew he was the one.I had another consultation with a closer doc, but decided against him.Dr. Bunch is truly wonderful and totally an artist. He listens and he cares.I had a couple of complications after surgery (hematoma in a breast and a dehiscence on an incision) but he was on top of things and got me all better. If I decide to have any more work done, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!Before my MMO, I had zero confidence. I had carried around an apron belly and saggy flat boobs for 30 years. I hated my body. Now, I am a new woman and my confidence has gone through the roof! I feel incredible!Thank you, Dr. Bunch!You're amazing!
