Regain Your YOUTHFUL Shape
with Added Fullness, Shape and Elevation
Breast enhancement surgery is a highly personal decision, often influenced by the desire to boost both appearance and confidence. Many women seek to enhance their natural features, including breast size and shape, to align with their sense of femininity and self-esteem. With extensive background in cosmetic breast surgery, Vanderbilt and New York University trained plastic surgeon, Dr. Alexander Digenis, combines his love of art and medicine to deliver natural-looking enhancements of the female form. Over the course of the last 30 years of practice, Dr. Digenis has mastered advanced techniques in breast augmentation and breast lifts.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. This procedure restores a more youthful position and contour to the breasts, often providing a perkier appearance without necessarily adding volume. It can be performed alone or in combination with breast implants for additional fullness.
Women seeking a breast lift typically want to:
- Bring the breasts up to their youthful position
- Restore a more rounded shape to their breasts
- Reposition nipples that point downward
- Feel more confident about their breasts
Ultimately, breast enhancement is about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin—whether the change is dramatic or subtle, the goal is to empower women and help them feel their best.
Breast Lift Candidature
Some women seek cosmetic options to enhance their breast appearance. When breasts begin to sag, and nipples point downward, a breast lift can provide a solution. Here are some common concerns a breast lift can address:
- Rejuvenates stretched or sagging breasts
- Restores breast proportions and elevates position
- Improves appearance affected by genetics
While a breast lift offers significant enhancement, it’s important for patients to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
Elevate your Breasts with a Lift
A breast lift can restore a youthful, upward curve to your breasts, and Dr. Digenis often combines this procedure with breast augmentation. Many women experience sagging due to aging and gravity. An easy way to assess if a lift may help is to check if your nipples fall below the breast crease or point downward. Dr. Digenis will personalize your breast lift using either a crescent lift or anchor incision technique. Together, you’ll decide on the incision type and implant options to create a custom surgical plan for achieving your desired results
Add Fullness, Shape & Elevation
A breast lift with implants is a dual procedure designed to add fullness, shape, and elevation to the breasts. Dr. Alexander Digenis has assisted thousands of woman in Kentucky and throughout the United States, in delivering exceptional results from this combined approach.

Factors to Consider
When selecting breast implants, women have several factors to consider, including type, size, shape, and material, all of which affect the look and feel of the results. All implants feature a silicone shell, with options filled either with saline or silicone. Saline implants allow for adjustable volume during surgery, while silicone implants, available in round shapes and sizes, offer a variety of contour options. The latest “gummy bear” implants use a cohesive silicone that won’t leak if ruptured, with a texture like the candy.
In your consultation, Dr. Digenis will discuss your goals, review implant types, and recommend options tailored to your desired look. He will also explain incision and implant placement to best match your anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
Breast Lift Recovery in Louisville, KY
During recovery, bandages will be placed over the incision sites immediately after surgery. You’ll go home wearing a support bra or compression garment to protect the incisions and help reduce swelling. Dr. Digenis will provide detailed post-surgery instructions for you to follow at home, which may include:
- How to care for your breasts during recovery
- Medications to support healing and lower infection risk
- Signs to watch for at the incision sites
- Timing for your follow-up appointment
- Guidelines on when you can resume normal activities
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort after their breast lift, with pain usually peaking in the first few days. Dr. Digenis will prescribe oral medications to help manage this. He may also advise against using over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, such as naproxen and ibuprofen, as they can increase bleeding risk.
