Breast Lift/Mastopexy

As we age the breast gradually loses its shape, becoming droopy and loose as the skin loses elasticity. This is exacerbated by pregnancy which further stretches the skin envelope of the breast.

A breast lift procedure or mastopexy helps to reverse these changes – producing more youthful looking breasts by lifting and reshaping them and adding fullness to the top part of the breasts. In addition, the areolas are also reduced to match the perkier and firmer new breasts.

Modern breast lift surgery can now reduce the length of the scar. In most cases, this is limited to a lollipop incision.

For those with minor sagging, breast augmentation can be the most effective technique – producing fuller and firmer breasts. Women with more severe droopiness who would also like fuller breasts will require both a surgical lift and breast implants to achieve the desirable effect.
