Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.
Over time, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, aging, and gravity can affect breast position and firmness. A breast lift is designed to improve sagging, restore a more youthful breast shape, and reposition the nipple and areola when needed.
This procedure does not significantly increase breast size on its own, but it can create a firmer, more lifted appearance. For patients who also want added volume, a breast lift may be combined with breast augmentation. Each surgical plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, skin quality, and desired breast shape.
What a Breast Lift Can Improve
A breast lift can improve breast contour after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or natural aging. It removes excess skin and repositions breast tissue to create a firmer, more elevated shape.
A lift does not significantly increase size, but it can be combined with augmentation when additional volume is desired.
How Surgery Works
Breast lift techniques vary based on anatomy and goals. Incisions may be around the areola and may extend vertically and or within the breast fold when needed to achieve an optimal lift.
Underlying tissue is reshaped and elevated, excess skin is removed, and the nipples are repositioned as appropriate. Incisions are placed along natural contours whenever possible.
