Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
A procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts without necessarily changing their size.
What is Mastopexy (Breast Lift)?
A breast lift raises and reshapes breasts that have begun to sag, often due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or the natural effects of aging, without necessarily changing breast volume. Your surgeon removes excess skin and reshapes the underlying breast tissue, repositioning the nipple and areola higher on the breast for a more youthful contour. This can be performed alone or combined with breast augmentation or reduction if you also wish to change breast size. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes two to three hours.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Breasts that have lost firmness and begun to sag
- Nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
- Breast changes following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- A desire for a more youthful breast contour and position
- Asymmetry in breast position between the two sides
How does this procedure help?
A breast lift restores a firmer, more youthful breast contour and position, often significantly improving how clothing and swimwear fit and how you feel about your silhouette. Because it addresses shape and position rather than volume alone, it can be tailored precisely to your goals, whether combined with augmentation or performed on its own. Most patients see final results within a few months, with the improved contour being long-lasting, particularly with a stable weight afterward.
