Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Surgery

Mastopexy (breast lift) is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape and reposition the breasts, including lifting the nipple position. For patients seeking additional volume or upper-pole fullness, our specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon may recommend combining a breast lift with breast augmentation (implants). The decision to include implants depends on your anatomy and treatment goals.

A breast lift involves removing excess skin to create a tighter, more elevated breast contour. By tightening the surrounding tissue, the surgeon raises the position of the breasts and can reduce the size of the areolas if needed. Once the procedure is complete, you can often see an improvement in breast shape. Some women also report improved posture following surgery, as lifted breasts may alleviate strain on the back and shoulders.

Discussing your concerns during a consultation will help our surgeons determine whether a combined procedure is most suitable for you.

Who Should Consider a Breast Lift?

Our surgeons will meet with you to discuss your reasons for considering breast lift surgery. Our most common candidate breast lift patients are women who have noticed their breasts sag due to age, pregnancy (especially if you have recently stopped breastfeeding), weight gain or genetics. Women who have noticed that the tissue around their nipple or areola has stretched may also consider breast lift procedures. In certain instances, if your surgeon feels you could benefit from additional volume, a breast lift with implants may be recommended at the same time. If a reduction in size is your preference or if you experience discomfort from large breasts, a breast reduction might also be considered.

Preparing for Your Procedure

It is important to review your medical history before the surgery and notify your surgeon whether you have a family history of breast cancer. You might also want to schedule a mammogram before the surgery. It is also advised to refrain from smoking 3 months before surgery and especially during the recovery. You need to avoid certain medications such as Aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs and also some supplements such as Fish Oils and Vitamin E as they increase the risk of bleeding. You will require a carer for the first 24-48 hours as this type of surgery is performed under a general anaesthesia and in most cases on a Day surgery basis. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure your breast lift surgery (Mastopexy) proceeds as smoothly as possible.

What to Expect During Recovery

In most cases, Mastopexy is performed under general anesthesia, and you will need a carer for the first day or two after surgery. It’s common to experience swelling, bruising and soreness around incision sites for several weeks. Some women also notice reduced sensation in the nipples or areolas for about a month. Although every patient’s healing process is slightly different, closely following our post-operative guidelines will help you achieve the best possible outcome.

What Are The Potential Risks Associated With This Surgery?

Breast lift surgery (Mastopexy) risks are similar to any other type of surgery, including anesthesia risks, bleeding or hematoma formation and infection. If your incisions heal poorly, this might lead to permanent scarring as well. Other potential risks are breast asymmetry or breast contour irregularities, which can be corrected with another surgical procedure. Our specialist plastic surgeon will walk you through every possibility and help you minimise risks through proper planning and post-operative care.

Cost and Consultation

The price of our plastic surgery services will largely depend on your unique case. Costs include the surgeon’s fees, as well as all necessary pre- and post-operational care, anaesthetic and theatre fees. Indicative pricing will be discussed upon completion of your initial consultation. Should you also wish to learn more about reduction surgery or combining procedures, you can raise these topics during your book consultation to see if you are a suitable candidate for breast lift combined with other treatments.
