For women seeking breast rejuvenation that respects their natural anatomy, the Conserve & Restore Lift™ from BEAUTY by BUFORD offers a refreshingly thoughtful approach. Developed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory A. Buford in Denver, Colorado, this proprietary technique prioritizes preserving the patient’s own tissue while restoring internal support for longer-lasting, natural-looking results. It represents a meaningful evolution in breast lift surgery, moving beyond the traditional methods that rely heavily on skin tightening alone.
The procedure is available exclusively at BEAUTY by BUFORD in Lone Tree, Colorado, serving the greater Denver area. Dr. Buford brings more than 25 years of surgical experience to the table, and his technique reflects a deep understanding of how breast tissue changes over time. For women who want a lifted appearance without sacrificing fullness — and without necessarily adding implants — this procedure opens up new possibilities.
What Is the Conserve & Restore Lift™?
The Conserve & Restore Lift™ is a proprietary breast lift technique that rethinks how breast tissue is handled during surgery. Traditional mastopexy removes excess skin and reshapes the breast, but the results can be affected by skin elasticity and gravity over time. Dr. Buford’s method builds on that foundation by creating a soft tissue buttress at the base of the breast, secured with sutures to provide internal support.
In some cases, a bioresorbable scaffold — sometimes called an Internal Bra — is used to reinforce the structure during healing. The technique also addresses nipple placement, areolar stretching, and the relationship between the lower breast and chest wall, all planned together for a natural contour. The result is a breast lift that aims for greater long-term predictability and a fuller, more supported shape.
What Stands Out
AutoGraft Technique Preserves Natural Tissue
One of the most distinctive features of the Conserve & Restore Lift™ is the AutoGraft. Instead of removing tissue at the base of the breast, Dr. Buford preserves suitable tissue along with its blood supply and repositions it beneath the nipple-areolar complex. This creates additional fullness using the patient’s own anatomy, without relying on implants.
Internal Support for Lasting Results
The procedure creates a soft tissue buttress that supports the reshaped breast from within, reducing reliance on the outer skin envelope. This internal structure is designed to hold up better over time, addressing a common limitation of traditional lifts.
Versatility for Different Needs
The technique works well for a variety of patients, including those with sagging breasts, loss of fullness after pregnancy or weight loss, and those considering breast implant removal. It can be adapted to each individual’s anatomy and goals.
Who It’s For
The Conserve & Restore Lift™ is ideal for women who are experiencing breast sagging, diminished upper breast fullness, stretched areolas, or changes in shape due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging. It is also well-suited for patients with larger breast implants, reduced tissue elasticity, or significant weight-loss histories who may benefit from additional internal support.
For those seeking breast implant removal but wanting to maintain natural fullness, the AutoGraft component offers an alternative to replacing lost volume with another implant. Surgical planning is highly individualized, taking into account the amount of available tissue, degree of sagging, skin elasticity, and desired outcome.
What Makes It Worth Considering
The Conserve & Restore Lift™ stands out because it addresses a fundamental challenge of breast lift surgery: how to achieve results that last. By preserving natural tissue and adding internal support, it offers a more comprehensive approach than traditional techniques. The procedure is performed by a highly experienced surgeon who has spent years refining his methods based on patient outcomes.
Patients appreciate the focus on natural-looking results and the option to avoid implants. The technique also provides a valuable solution for those undergoing implant removal, helping restore shape and fullness without additional foreign materials. While individual results vary, the emphasis on structural integrity gives patients reason to feel confident in their investment.
Verdict
The Conserve & Restore Lift™ is a thoughtful, tissue-preserving breast lift that prioritizes natural results and long-term structural integrity. For women seeking a durable, natural-looking rejuvenation, it represents a compelling option backed by decades of surgical expertise.
