Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A mastopexy elevates and reshapes breasts that have lost firmness and position — caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes or simply time. It repositions the nipple-areola complex to a higher, more youthful position and removes excess skin to create a firmer profile.

Breast lift surgery corrects ptosis (drooping) without always requiring an implant. If you also want increased volume, a lift can be combined with augmentation in a single procedure. Your surgeon will recommend the appropriate technique — anchor, lollipop or crescent — based on the degree of sagging.

Key Benefits

• Lifted, firmer breast contour with improved upper pole fullness
• Nipple and areola repositioned to the natural breast apex
• Reduction in skin looseness and elongation
• Can be combined with implants or fat transfer for added volume

Is This Treatment Right For You?

• Women with breasts that droop below the inframammary fold
• Patients after pregnancy or breastfeeding with deflated shape
• Those with nipples pointing downward or resting below the fold
• Adults at a stable weight who are not planning future pregnancies
