Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breasts marked with surgical lines; gloved hand holding marker.

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts to restore a more youthful, uplifted appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced breast ptosis (drooping) due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. During the surgery, excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened and lifted to create a firmer and more aesthetically pleasing breast contour. The procedure also improves the position and shape of the areola. Mastopexy can be performed alone or in combination with breast augmentation for those looking for both lift and volume. Recovery time can vary, but most patients enjoy a more youthful breast appearance once healed.

Key Benefits of Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift restores youthful shape and height to sagging or deflated breasts by tightening stretched tissue and repositioning the nipple for a naturally lifted, feminine contour. This procedure enhances breast projection without implants, helping your body look supported, youthful, and balanced again. It’s ideal for women wanting to reverse changes from aging, weight loss, or pregnancy for a confident, refreshed silhouette.

Recovery After Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lift recovery focuses on allowing the breasts to settle into their new lifted shape while swelling and tightness gradually improve. Most patients feel comfortable within a few days and notice a lighter, supported, and more youthful breast position as healing progresses. With proper support and gentle aftercare, results refine naturally and beautifully over time.
