Breast Lift Surgery, also known as Mastopexy, will raise and reshape your breasts making them firmer and more shapely.

Breasts will begin to sag with age as the skin loses elasticity and supporting ligaments become weaker. Pregnancy, weight gain and weight loss further contribute to drooping breasts.

Women who are unhappy with the loss of fullness in their upper breasts, with nipples pointing downwards and stretch marks on the skin, may choose a Breast Lift to regain their original breast shape. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple).

During surgery, the type of technique employed depends upon the size of your breasts and how much they sag. The Breast Lift procedure basically involves removing skin from around the areola and possibly also from the lower half of the breast, and then shifting the remaining skin to firm up the breast.

Breast Lift / Mastopexy surgery is performed as a day procedure within our clinic, under general anaesthesia. The procedure generally takes between 1½ and 3 hours.

This procedure is often used in combination with Breast Reduction or Breast Implants depending on your individual needs. You may elect to have Implants inserted at the same time if your breasts are small or have lost their volume.
