Breast Lift
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape breasts. It involves removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to support and contour the new breast shape.
Breast lift surgery does not significantly change the size of your breasts, but it can be combined with breast augmentation (implants) or reduction if desired.
A breast lift may be recommended to:
restore breast shape and position after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or ageing
improve breast symmetry and firmness
raise nipples that point downward or lie below the breast crease
enhance body confidence when breast sagging causes distress
What is involved in a breast lift?
A breast lift is usually performed under general anaesthetic and typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours.
Your surgeon will assess your goals and medical history to help determine if a breast lift is appropriate for you.
