Breast Lift

What is Breast Lift?

A Breast Lift is surgery to remove/reposition excess skin and breast tissue to reshape and elevate the breasts. The procedure, also referred to as mastopexy, doesn’t augment the size of the breasts, but instead focuses on making them firmer and raises the nipples towards a higher position.

Why women choose Breast Lift?

The knock-on effects of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can result in ‘droopy’ or saggy breasts that few women manage to avoid. This surgical procedure can invigorate the breasts and give the patient an enhanced self-image.

Procedure details: Breast Lift

Breastlift is a minimally bleeding and mild surgical procedure in which the sagging nipple and breast tissue are placed in the correct position where the excess skin is removed from the sagging breasts.

Drooping up to 2 cm, where the distance between the nipple and the underside of the nipple – where the breast tissue does not sag significantly – can be treated with dermatareolar mastopexy. In this case, only a round scar will remain around the nipple.

Vertical macstopexy can be applied in cases where the breast tissue and nipple hang more, but the distance between nipple and lower nipple is not prolonged. With this technique, a lollipop-like trace lying straight around the nipple remains.

Wise mastopexy is preferred in cases with sagging nipple tissue and prolonged distance between nipple and lower curvature. In this technique, there is a reverse t-shaped trace extending downward from the nipple and extending along the bottom of the nipple. We prefer central pedicle technique in patients with wise pattern, which protects nipple sensation and breastfeeding ability.
