About the procedure
A breast lift, or mastopexy, reshapes the breast and removes excess skin, repositioning the nipple and areola when needed. It uses existing tissue; an implant may be discussed separately if additional volume is also desired.
Your consultation
The consultation assesses breast position, skin elasticity and differences between the breasts. Pregnancy plans, breastfeeding and weight changes are relevant to timing and the choice of technique.
What to expect
- Medical assessment, discussion of options and agreement on a plan.
- Reshaping breast tissue and adjusting skin through the chosen incision pattern.
- Aftercare and follow-up adapted to the healing process.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and tissue position change during healing. Scar care, breast support and returning to exercise are discussed individually.
What to consider
Scars are part of the operation. Sensation and the ability to breastfeed may be affected; pregnancy, weight changes and ageing can alter shape later.

Does a lift always need implants?
No. Raising the breast and adding volume are different objectives. The doctor explains what each option can achieve.
Can differences between the breasts be corrected?
A plan may address asymmetry, but perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed. Existing differences are discussed before surgery.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
