Thank you! Your submission has been received!

Do you find yourself longing for a silhouette that reflects your youthful spirit, wishing to restore the shape and position of your breasts after the natural changes brought about by time, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations?
A breast uplift can reshape your breasts by restoring firmness and elevation, enhancing your natural contours for a more youthful and confident appearance.
A mastopexy removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue, creating a breast lift.
Breasts can lose their youthful shape and firmness due ageing, weight fluctuations, breastfeeding, gravity, pregnancy and genetics.
A breast lift might be an option for you if:
•Your breasts are sagging, having lost the their shape and volume
•Your nipples and areolae point downwards
•Your breasts are different sizes
•Your areolae have stretched out of proportion
•Your nipple falls below your breast crease when unsupported
The initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss your goals and explore how a mastopexy can help achieve them. It’s the perfect chance for an open dialogue where you can share your expectations of a breast uplift, and your surgeon can offer a realistic perspective based on your current breast size, shape, and the degree of sagging.
During this appointment, your medical history, past surgeries, and overall health will also be reviewed to confirm that the procedure is suitable for you. This is also the time to address any concerns or questions you may have.
Before surgery, your surgeon will give you simple steps to follow, like pausing certain medications, avoiding smoking, and fasting if needed. These things help your body heal and make the procedure safer.
It’s also a good idea to get your home ready for recovery—set up a comfy spot to rest and ask a friend or family member to be around if you need help. A little preparation can make everything go a lot smoother.
To keep you comfortable during surgery, you’ll be given anaesthesia. Depending on the procedure and your health, this might be general anaesthesia (where you’re fully asleep) or local anaesthesia with sedation.
The anaesthesiologist will review your medical history and past experiences with anaesthesia to determine the best approach. You will be under anaesthesia for the entire surgery, usually 2 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of the lift. Throughout the surgery, they’ll monitor your vital signs, and once it’s over, the focus will be on helping you wake up safely and recover smoothly.
The technique used for your breast lift commonly consist of either a periareolar, lollipop or anchor-shaped incision and will be determined during your consultation, and aimed to minimise the visible scarring, while maximising the aesthetic outcome.
After making the incisions, the breast uplift is executed by lifting the breast tissue and reshaping the breasts contour and firmness. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural, more youthful height. If necessary, enlarged areolas are reduced by excising skin at the perimeter, ensuring that the proportions of the newly shaped breasts are harmonious and natural-looking.
The incisions are closed using sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape to support the new breast shape and help healing; these are carefully placed to keep scarring to a minimum. Over time, the scars will fade, but are unlikely to disappear completely.
The results of a breast lift are visible immediately after surgery. The initial swelling and incision lines will gradually diminish over time and your new breast shape will continue to improve as you heal, with final results typically emerging within a few months. A mastopexy does not significantly change the size of your breasts, but it can dramatically enhance their appearance by lifting and firming.
Attending regular follow-ups and keeping a healthy lifestyle will help you enjoy your results for years to come.

Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within a week or two, depending on their job. Swelling and bruising are normal and will fade over the coming weeks.
Scars are often hidden under the natural contours of the breasts, or along lines that can be covered by bras and swimwear. The scars are usually well concealed and will fade significantly over time – by applying silicone sheets or gels, sun protection and gentle massage you can improve the appearance of scars further.
A breast lift carries certain risks and potential side effects, such as infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation and issues with scarring. Serious complications are rare, but we still think that it’s important to be aware of them. If you have any concerns, discuss them with your surgeon before the procedure.
• Infection
• Change in nipple or breast sensation
• Scarring issues
• Bleeding and blood clots
Adhering closely to pre- and post-operative instructions can minimise the risk of complications, and ensure a safer, more effective recovery.
