Breast Procedure
Breast Lift
A procedure designed to improve breast position, restore shape, and address drooping or loss of firmness while maintaining proportion with the rest of the body.
Procedure Overview
What is a breast lift?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure used to improve breast position and reshape breasts that have become drooped, deflated, or less firm over time. The goal is to restore a more youthful contour without necessarily increasing breast size.
It is commonly considered by patients who feel their breasts have changed after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or ageing, and who would like improved shape, position, and firmness.
Who It Is For
Who may consider a breast lift?
A breast lift may be suitable for patients who are happy with their general breast volume but would like to improve shape, firmness, and overall breast position.
Improved breast position
Can raise breasts that sit lower on the chest and restore a more balanced contour.
Better shape and firmness
Helps improve breast form when the tissue feels deflated or stretched over time.
Restored confidence in proportion
Aims to create a more lifted appearance that feels in harmony with the patient’s body shape.
The Procedure
Reshaping and lifting according to the individual
A breast lift is planned according to breast anatomy, skin quality, tissue characteristics, and the degree of drooping present. The aim is to improve breast position and contour while creating a result that feels proportionate and natural for the patient.
In some cases, a lift may be discussed on its own, and in others it may be considered alongside procedures that address volume.
Recovery
Recovery involves healing and settling over time
Swelling, tightness, and a period of adjustment are expected after surgery. Patients are guided through recovery so they understand how the breasts heal, settle, and refine in the weeks and months after the procedure.
The goal is not only improved shape immediately after surgery, but a stable long-term result as healing progresses.
Risks & Considerations
Careful consultation remains essential
A breast lift requires assessment of anatomy, skin elasticity, breast position, and treatment goals. Risks, scarring, limitations, and realistic outcomes are discussed in detail during consultation so that the procedure plan is properly considered.
Consultation & treatment planning
Discuss whether a breast lift is right for you
A consultation allows for a more detailed discussion of your goals, breast position, suitability, and the most appropriate approach to improving breast shape and contour.
