The 5 Clinics with the Best Breast Lifts in Portland for a Confidence Boost
Breast lifts aren’t just a passing trend. For a lot of women, they’re about feeling good in their own skin. But pick the wrong surgeon, and you might end up wishing you’d never gone under the knife.
I’ve heard the horror stories: surgeons who disappear after surgery, results that look lopsided, and scars that run across your skin like train tracks.
So I spent months digging through Portland’s clinics, reading over a hundred patient stories, and talking to surgeons. I wanted to find the places that actually get it right. Here’s what I found.

Dr. Austin Hayes caught my attention with his Double Bra Breast Lift, a method that skips the usual mesh and uses layers of a patient’s own tissue to achieve sculpted cleavage and fuller breasts.
The results speak for themselves. One mom of two told me her breasts stayed perky and voluminous even years later.
While he does have an impressive before-and-after gallery, he uses 3D imaging to lay out a patient’s options. I like how he explains the different types of incisions that would look and work best.
After the procedure, Dr. Hayes stays in touch with his patients to monitor their recovery and answer any questions.
Another patient appreciated that he uses a bottom-scar position, allowing her to pull off plunging necklines without a second thought.
The only catch? His schedule fills up fast. This speaks volumes about his reputation, but it isn’t ideal for those hoping for a last-minute spot.
So thrilled with my results
“I had my breast lift and augmentation with Dr. Hayes over a year ago and am so thrilled with my results. He really takes time to understand what your goals are and explains things in detail and made sure I understood all of my options. His team in the office were all very kind and helpful when I needed to schedule appointments and to answer other questions. If you’ve been thinking about this, Dr. Hayes is truly the best- you won’t look back!”

Would recommend him to anyone looking to get their breasts done
“If you’re wanting a Dr. that genuinely cares about you and your results look no further. I got a breast lift that some other Drs wouldn’t even attempt because of how much sagging I had, but Dr. Hayes was confident and made me feel comfortable that he could do it. I couldn’t be happier with my results and would recommend him to anyone looking to get their breasts done!”

Waldorf Center’s Vectra Imaging System lets patients see a 3D preview of their results.
One woman was worried about scars, but seeing her own projected results calmed her nerves. She went into surgery already picturing how her new shape would fit her busy, active life.
I also like how they match their technique to each person’s lifestyle. In the consultation, their surgeons ask questions about their patients’ lives and goals before introducing the kinds of breast lifts available to them.
One mom of three with just a bit of sagging went for the crescent lift. The incision was barely there. She couldn’t stop talking about how she could finally wear V-neck dresses again with confidence.
Another woman with more sagging chose the vertical lift. She liked that it reshaped her breasts and kept scars to a minimum. For her, it was about getting back the symmetry she’d lost after breastfeeding.
Their post-op care is great. Patients appreciate the clear instructions, from which painkillers are helpful to how to keep infections at bay.
The only thing that made me pause was the $150 consultation fee.
I am forever thankful for Dr. Johng
“I am forever thankful for Dr. Johng and all the lovely, competent people at Waldorf. Getting diagnosed with cancer is like getting shoved to the ground by a giant gorilla. You find yourself on the ground again and again with each new piece of information, with no time to steady yourself in between. I never thought I’d find myself at a plastic surgery center to discuss lumpectomies and mastectomies; breast reduction/lift, or implants. So when Dr. Johng came in the exam room, she found a shell shocked woman who really wanted to scream and cry and run out of the room. Of course I didn’t do that, but I’m sure I wasn’t at my best that day. Did she roll her eyes and tell me to get over it? No. She calmly, rationally, and with just the right amount of sympathy, explained my potential treatments and my options. She listened to me and answered all my questions. From the moment I first walked into the waiting room I have received the best, kindest care I could possibly imagine. Dr. Johng is an excellent surgeon. She really made my new body look great. And everyone else there who worked with me, Marjorie, De-ja, Kim (and more whose names I don’t know) were the absolute best. They all made this whole gorilla shoving thing much much easier to deal with.”

Worth every penny!
“Best natural injection professionals I’ve found in Oregon. I travel from Bend, Oregon to receive my beauty services from Waldorf. By far the best place from real and honest professionals who strive for natural beauty aesthetics and surgical excellence.
Like most great surgeons Dr. Waldorf makes up in excellent results what is lacking in “bed-side-manner”…. I learned a long time ago to trust the physician who speaks the truth without fluff over a sweet talking practitioner. Dr. Waldorf and team have been a long standing standard of beauty excellence and represent integrity.
PS Dr. Waldorf has also performed 2 customized mommy makeover procedures and I have been grateful for the results ever since. (Breast reduction and lift, reconstructive abdominal work (reconnecting muscle, reconstructed bellybutton, excessive skin removed), Labioplasty as well…. ) worth every penny!”

Dr. Samuel V. Bartholomew made my list because he takes a careful, custom approach to breast lifts. He actually listens and tailors the surgery to each patient’s preferences.
I like how he spends most of the initial consultation patiently answering questions and easing the nerves of first-timers.
As for results, most I spoke to were quite pleased with their lifts. One new mom with mild sagging after breastfeeding told me she liked that he kept the natural slope she wanted, so she still looks like herself.
For moderate sagging, his vertical technique struck me as a good balance—enough lift, and the scars stay subtle.
For bigger lifts, patients liked his anchor method. One woman appreciated how her breasts came out full and symmetrical.
His focus on safety stood out to me, too. A patient shared that his team was calm, clear, and compassionate throughout.
The only thing I think needs improvement is his follow-up care. It can be hit or miss. More than one patient mentioned slow post-op calls or trouble rescheduling, which made recovery a bit more stressful.
I am extremely happy with the results!
“I really appreciated Dr. Bartholomew and his team for their amazing work with my recent breast reduction. The office staff are very attentive and the medical team is knowledgeable and professional. I felt very well taken care of and am extremely happy with the results!”

He is a fantastic surgeon!
“Dr. Bartholomew helped me with a breast reduction and can attest that he is a fantastic surgeon! Every time I look in the mirror it is as if I am looking at a Pablo Picasso work of art! I am very happy with the result! I highly recommend him!”

Dr. Bohley stood out to me because he doesn’t push unnecessary procedures just to make a buck.
One mom thought she’d need implants to get her shape back after pregnancy, but he said her natural tissue could achieve the lift she wanted without added cost.
While he does require some of his patients to lose weight, I like that he gives them health tips to help them maintain the look they aspire to long after surgery.
One woman who dropped 60 pounds told me her breast lift finally showed off all the muscle she’d worked for.
I appreciate his attention to detail. In all the before-and-afters I’ve seen, he’s hidden the scars well.
But what really won me over was how smooth his team makes the whole process. The staff’s kindness stood out to me, from the surgeons to the schedulers.
The only hiccup? Parking here is horrible. One patient complained about having to park around the block.
His transparency is much appreciated
“Can’t rave enough about Dr. Bohley and his wonderful team! From the 1st phone call for a consultation, to surgery, every step of the way is guided, organized and went smoothly. Dr. Bohley is honest about augmentation procedures for the best results regardless of the financial gain it may make his practice. His transparency is much appreciated. I needed less “work” then I thought I would and he didn’t try to over sell procedures. I’m 4 months post op from a breast and stomach skin removal. I look better at 41 after 6 babies then I did at 20! Thank you Dr. Bohley for giving me the perfect midlife lift!”

I would recommend Dr. Bohley for his incredible talent and care
“Dr Bohley is an incredibly sweet and talented plastic surgeon . I had a lower body lift and breast lift after losing 140 pounds naturally . Before I had so much extra skin you couldn’t see all the hard work I had put in at the gym , now I get to see lines and definition as my muscles progress and it is so rewarding. My entire life I was overweight so I never had perky breasts, now I feel like my breasts are beautiful and natural . The only negative I had and it makes me feel bad to even say ,was with the office manager Tish, the times she has spoken to me has made my heart drop due to her tone and manner .I feel she lacks the tact and care that should be involved with patient care and communication. Especially when interaction with her may effect a person’s overall experience at this office , which in turn effects the whole team . That aside I would recommend Dr. Bohley for his incredible talent and care he provides , you will not be disappointed with your results .”

5. Matthew Lewis

Services: plastic surgery – breast, body and more

Dr. Matthew Lewis does three different lift techniques. The Standard method is the one Dr. Lewis uses most often. It’s the classic anchor-shaped incision.
One woman with a lot of sagging went for his Standard method. She told me that just three weeks after surgery, she had the size and shape she wanted.
For just a little sagging, his Doughnut technique keeps scars to a minimum. A runner with smaller breasts told me this method tightened her skin with just a circular incision, so she could finally wear racerback tops without worrying.
The Lollipop is the middle ground. For this one, Dr. Lewis cuts around the nipple and straight down the front. Patients get less scarring than with the Standard, but he can remove more tissue than with the Doughnut.
Just be ready to wait. His appointments usually run about half an hour late. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it happens almost every time.
The highest level of respect, skill, and dedication
“It is with sincere gratitude that I express how pleased I am to have met this exceptional team. From the very beginning, their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness have exceeded my expectations. The consistent support through calls, messages, appointments, and their genuine smiles made all the difference. My many worries during recovery were always met with patience, reassurance, and comfort.
I underwent a breast lift with implant as well as a thigh lift with liposuction, in March 2025. From my initial consultation through to my post-operative care, this team has demonstrated the highest level of respect, skill, and dedication. I had another consultation scheduled the same day I met with Dr. Matthew Lewis, and I am truly grateful that I trusted my instincts and chose him as my surgeon.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lewis and his team—without hesitation, a 10/10 experience”
