Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Perky and youthful breasts are just one of the benefits of being young. Yet, with pregnancy, nursing and weight loss, the breasts’ ageing process may be accelerated, causing premature or more excessive sagging.
A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Over time, the areola can sometimes become enlarged, and breast lifts can help to reduce its size as well. Over all, a breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is youthful and uplifted.

Typical Uses
If you are dissatisfied with the shape and lilt of your breasts, you should consider a breast lift. A breast lift procedure can:
- Lift sagging breast that have lost their shape and volume
- Lift nipples and areolas that point downward
- create a more symmetrical silhouette
- address stretched skin and enlarged areolas
Your breast lift surgery can be achieved through a variety of
incision patterns and techniques. The appropriate
technique for you will be determined based on:
- Breast size and shape
- The size and position of your areolas
- The degree of breast sagging
- Skin quality and elasticity as well as the amount of
extra skin
What It Entails
During a breast lift, incisions are made to help lift and reshape the breast contour and give it firmness. At the hands of our expert plastic surgeon, sagging breasts are lifted up, whilst the nipple and areolas are repositioned to a more natural and youthful height. During the surgery, enlarged areolas can also be reduced in size and excess breast skin is suitably removed towards the end. Naturally, not all of these adjustments will be necessary during a breast lift, and the precise nature of the procedure will be tailored to each individual’s personal needs.
