Breast Lift

Mastopexy, or breast lift, as it is commonly known is a Cosmetic Surgery procedure designed to lift and re-contour sagging breasts, or breasts that have lost volume following child bearing or weight loss.

Mastopexy can be performed alone or in conjunction with the insertion breast Implants to help fill out volume in the ptotic (or droopy) breast.

The best candidates for Mastopexy are women of good general health and whose breasts have become saggy and have lost volume with age, following child bearing or following weight loss. If you are planning on having children, it is wise to defer this type of Surgery until after having children, as it may affect your ability to breastfeed.

Your Surgeon will assess your individual needs based on your expectations, and desired outcome. The size and shape and the degree of ptosis (or loss of volume) of the breast will be assessed and the need for Implants discussed. If you are considering Breast Augmentation with Mastopexy, photographs from magazines of your ideal size may be of assistance. A Mammogram may be ordered as a routine preoperative test.

Breast lift, or Mastopexy, when performed by a qualified Plastic Surgeon, is a relatively simple Surgical technique providing you with better breast shape and fall, which can enhance your appearance and improve your self esteem and confidence. Your options and preferences can be discussed in full at your Consultation with your Surgeon.
