A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery designed to lift, reshape, and firm the breasts without increasing their size. Unlike breast augmentation, a lift doesn’t add volume — it simply repositions the existing tissue to combat sagging, often caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging.
This procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple to a more natural height. It can be performed alone or in combination with implants if the patient desires more volume.
Most women choose a breast lift when they’re happy with their breast size but unhappy with their shape or positioning. Recovery time typically ranges from 1 to 2 weeks, and final results are visible after swelling subsides. The scars are usually hidden along natural folds and fade over time.
Mastopexy can dramatically improve body proportions, restore confidence, and help clothing fit better — all without adding foreign materials to the body.
