Breast lift procedures, also known as mastopexies, have evolved significantly over the years. Various techniques aim to address sagging and restore youthful contours, but one stands out for its innovation and lasting results: the NaturaBra® technique developed by Dr. Alizadeh. This blog explores how different surgeons approach breast lifts and highlights the unique benefits of Dr. Alizadeh's NaturaBra® method.
Traditional Breast Lift Techniques
Most traditional breast lift techniques involve reshaping and lifting the breast tissue by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple and areola. Standard methods include the Anchor Lift, Lollipop Lift, and Donut Lift. These techniques vary in the incisions made and the extent of tissue manipulation but share the goal of improving breast firmness and contour.
Despite their effectiveness, traditional techniques often have limitations, such as variable longevity of results and the potential for visible scarring. Dr. Alizadeh recognized these challenges and set out to develop a method that would offer more durable and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
Introducing NaturaBra®
Developed in 2004, NaturaBra® is Dr. Alizadeh's revolutionary approach to breast lift surgery. This technique harnesses the patient’s natural tissues to create an internal support system akin to an internal bra or hammock, which provides long-term lift and shape.

How NaturaBra® Works
The NaturaBra® technique is a sophisticated approach that significantly enhances the outcomes of traditional breast lift procedures. At the core of this method is the strategic use of the patient’s own tissues to create an internal support system that mimics the function of an internal bra or hammock. The process begins with precise incisions made from each nipple down to the breast crease. These incisions allow the surgeon to form triangular flaps of tissue, which play a crucial role in the lifting and reshaping process.
Unlike traditional methods that might rely on external materials or solely on skin tightening, the NaturaBra® technique keeps these tissue flaps attached to a vital blood supply, ensuring their viability and integration with the surrounding breast tissue. These flaps are then meticulously rotated and positioned within the breast to create an internal scaffold. This scaffold provides robust and lasting support, counteracting the effects of gravity and tissue laxity over time.
This innovative procedure results in a breast lift that enhances the breast’s appearance immediately after surgery and maintains its lifted, youthful shape for a significantly longer period. Patients benefit from improved upper pole fullness and enhanced cleavage, contributing to a more desirable and aesthetically pleasing breast contour. This technique’s ability to provide long-lasting results with a natural look and feel sets it apart from other breast lift methods, making it a preferred choice for those seeking enduring beauty and confidence.
Dr. Alizadeh’s Expertise and Research
His extensive research and presentations show Dr. Alizadeh’s commitment to advancing breast lift techniques. After 20 years of performing the NaturaBra® procedure, he has shared his findings in a comprehensive study titled “Long Term Outcome Analysis of Augmentation & Mastopexy Results; A 20-Year Follow-Up of Simultaneous Superior Pole Projection and Inferior Pole Support.” This study highlights the lasting impact and patient satisfaction associated with the NaturaBra® technique.
While traditional breast lift techniques have their place, Dr. Alizadeh's NaturaBra® approach represents a significant advancement in achieving long-term, natural-looking results. By creating an internal support system using the patient’s own tissues, Dr. Alizadeh has set a new standard in breast lift surgery, offering women a more durable and aesthetically pleasing option.
