BREAST LIFT
ABOUT
Breast Lift
A breast lift (mastopexy) lifts droopy breasts to improve nipple position and breast shape. It may be done together with nipple or areolar reduction to enhance aesthetics. Breast volume can also be augmented at the same time, known as augmentation mastopexy.
PROCEDURES
Procedural Approaches
Breast reconstruction can be performed using implants, your own tissue, or a combination of both.
- Lifting the nipple using various surgical techniques.
- Possible use of breast implants alone in selected patients.
- Incisions placed around the nipple to elevate it.
- Additional incisions on the breast if excess skin needs to be removed.
INDICATIONS
Who May Consider Breast Lift
You may benefit from a breast lift if you have lost breast volume or tissue support due to weight loss, breastfeeding, or ageing.
If your nipples sit lower than desired or if your breasts lack upper pole fullness, a lift may be suitable.
A simple self-check: place a pencil under the breast. If it stays in place after letting go, you may be a candidate for a lift.
SAFETY
Risks & Considerations
Scarring
Scars are usually hidden under the breast or around the areola. Additional incisions may be necessary if excess skin needs removal.

Breastfeeding
Future breastfeeding ability depends on the technique used.
Symmetry
Natural breast asymmetry is common. Surgeons will aim to restore balance as much as possible.
AFTERCARE
Downtime & Recovery
- Bruising and swelling typically resolve in about 2 weeks.
- You may return to work as early as the next day.
- Depending on the technique, drains may be placed and removed in 2–3 days.
- Breasts will be swollen and lifted initially; swelling settles over the following months.
- Final results are visible at around 12 months.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see what my breasts will look like after surgery?
A computer simulation of the surgery can be done for you to give you an idea of the possible result after surgery.
When will I see the final results of my surgery?
Immediately after the surgery your breasts will be swollen and lifted. Over the following months the swelling will resolve and your breast tissue will settle down with gravity. The final results will only be seen about 12 months after the surgery.
🩺 A full evaluation with an MOH-accredited doctor is required to determine suitability for the procedure.
