Breast Lift
What is a breast lift?
Breast lift surgery is an option for women who, although satisfied with the size of their breasts, are unhappy about sagging and loss of firmness. The procedure is called “mastopexy”.
When is a breast lift desirable?
Breast lift procedures can help to:
- Reshape sagging breasts and improve contour
- Increase the firmness of soft breasts by removing excess skin
- Increase the volume of breasts, in combination with the insertion of an artificial implant to enlarge the breast
- Raise the position of downward pointing nipples and areolas
- Reduce the size of the areolas
- Breast lift can be used to balance the size and shape of significantly unequal breasts.

How is a breast lift performed?
There are currently several techniques for Mammaplasty. They all aim to remove excess breast tissue, recontour the breasts, and reposition the nipples. Your plastic surgeon will take your physical condition and requirements into consideration, and will determine which technique would be best for you.
This procedure can be performed on a day surgery basis, or involve a short hospital stay of one or two days. The procedure can be carried out under general anaesthesia or under local anaesthesia. The surgery usually takes one to three hours, but may take longer.
Will the procedure leave any scars?
Although your surgeon will make every effort to keep them as inconspicuous as possible, scars are the inevitable result of any surgery. The scars should however be hidden on the undersurface of the breasts and thus become less visible after a period of time. Some patients have a tendency to develop thick scars and you should advise your surgeon if you are aware of this tendency in yourself.
What results can I expect from a breast lift?
The goal of your surgery is to lift your breasts to a size that is in better proportion with your physique and makes you feel more comfortable. Your surgeon is the best person to determine whether your expectations are achievable.
When can I resume normal activities?
Most patients are back to their regular routine in about three weeks. To permit proper healing, you should avoid excessive exercise for the first three to four weeks. Returning to work or your normal activities is an individual matter, and your surgeon will advise you.
