Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing contour. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant changes in breast appearance due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. Mastopexy targets the skin and underlying tissues of the breast to correct drooping and reposition the nipple-areola complex to a higher position on the chest wall.
During the surgery, excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened to achieve a firmer, uplifted breast shape. The procedure can also be combined with breast augmentation for patients desiring increased volume along with the lift. Various techniques can be used, including the anchor, vertical, or donut incision methods, depending on the degree of sagging and the patient’s desired outcome.
Recovery typically involves some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few weeks, although they should avoid strenuous activities for a longer period. Mastopexy can significantly enhance breast appearance, contributing to improved self-esteem and body confidence.
