Breast Procedures
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Restoring a firmer, more youthful breast position
Overview
A breast lift raises and reshapes breasts that have begun to sag, often as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, or the natural effects of ageing and gravity.
Unlike augmentation, a lift does not add significant volume — it repositions existing tissue — though the two can be combined for patients wanting both lift and fullness.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a lift be combined with implants?
Yes — many patients choose to combine a lift with augmentation for both a higher position and additional fullness.
How long will results last?
Results are long-lasting, though future pregnancy, weight change, and ageing will continue to affect breast shape over time.
Is scarring significant?
Scar extent depends on the amount of correction needed; your surgeon will plan the technique that achieves the goal with the least scarring possible.
