Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift, or Mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes and elevates sagging breasts to restore a more youthful, perky appearance. This solution is ideal for those experiencing breast ptosis (sagging) due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.

Who Needs a Breast Lift?

✔ Post-pregnancy changes (stretched skin/loss of volume)
✔ Significant weight fluctuations
✔ Natural aging process
✔ Asymmetrical or downward-pointing nipples

  • Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift:

    • Most comprehensive – addresses significant sagging

    • Scar around areola + vertical + horizontal along breast fold

  • Vertical (Lollipop) Lift:

    • Moderate sagging correction

    • Scar around areola + vertical line

  • Donut (Peri-Areolar) Lift:

    • Mild sagging only

    • Circular scar around areola

Combination Procedures
