What is a breast lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes breasts that have sagged, repositions the nipple and areola higher on the breast and removes excess stretched skin. It uses your own tissue, without necessarily changing breast size.
How do I know if I need a breast lift?
A nipple at or below the fold beneath the breast, downward direction, stretched skin and loss of shape may be reasons for assessment. A surgeon confirms suitability with measurements and a clinical examination.
Does a breast lift make breasts bigger?
A lift improves position and shape but does not add volume. When additional fullness is desired, implants or fat transfer may be discussed separately with the surgeon.

How much is a breast lift with implants?

Why can a lift differ in cost from augmentation?
A lift alone uses your own tissue and does not require an implant. Compare the full scope of surgery, hospital care, garments and follow-up rather than only the headline price.
What scars does a breast lift leave?
The incision may follow the areola, extend vertically to the fold, or also run along the fold in an anchor pattern. The amount of skin and required lift guide the choice. Scars evolve over time.
Why is a breast lift marked while standing?
The shape and position change when lying down. Upright markings allow the surgeon to plan nipple position and skin removal for the standing position.
Can sensation or breastfeeding be affected?
Temporary or permanent changes in sensation can occur. Breastfeeding may remain possible but cannot be guaranteed. Discuss future pregnancy and feeding plans before surgery.

When will my results settle?
Swelling and shape change during the first months, while scars continue to mature. Follow-up is used to assess healing and discuss any concerns.
