Breast up lift
BREAST LIFTING (Mastopexy)
Loss of skin elasticity, gravity and other factors such as weight loss, pregnancy and
breastfeeding ultimately affect the shape and firmness of your breasts.
Patients who are generally satisfied with the size of their breasts can have abreast lift
to raise and firm them, resulting in a more youthful breast contour.
Some patients may be unhappy that they have lost a significant amount of
breast volume over time. In such cases, implants inserted in conjunction with
a breast lift can increase breast size at the same time as the shape
and position of the breasts are enhanced.
Mastopexy(breast lift surgery) can restore breast shape
and reposition sagging breasts.
Mastopexy is indicated in the following conditions:
•Breasts that are pendulous, but of satisfactory size.
• Breasts that lack substance or firmness.
•Nipples and areolas that point downward, especially if they are
positioned below the breast crease.
A common method of lifting the breasts involves two incisions.
One incision is made around the areola. Another runs vertically
from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease
underneath the breast.
The procedure usually takes around two hours and
the patient is discharged on the same day.
