Mastopexy, or breast lift, raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This procedure restores a firmer, more youthful breast contour and repositions the nipple‑areola complex for improved symmetry and lift.

Mastopexy can help you with:

  • Lifting and firming drooping breasts

  • Repositioning and resizing the nipple‑areola complex

  • Improving breast symmetry and shape

  • Restoring youthful breast contour after pregnancy or weight loss

You may be a suitable candidate if:

  • Your breasts sag or have lost firmness

  • You have stretched skin around the breasts

  • You are in good general health and at a stable weight

  • You have realistic expectations and can follow postoperative care

What Happens During the Procedure?

Your Mastopexy journey begins with a detailed consultation and measurement. Here’s what typically happens:

  • Marking of incision patterns (lollipop, anchor, or crescent)

  • Administration of general anesthesia

  • Removal of excess skin and tightening of breast tissue

  • Repositioning of the nipple‑areola complex

  • Closure of incisions and application of dressings

The procedure takes 2–3 hours depending on technique and degree of lift.
