A breast lift (or Mastopexy) aims to improve the shape of the breast, elevating the nipple position and improving the projection and position on the chest wall.

The breast lift surgery procedure is most often used to correct the effects of breast droop or ptosis. Age, childbearing, and weight changes can all stretch and elongate the ligaments that contribute to the youthful shape of your breast.

Many patients request a breast lift procedure for a range of benefits, to give a more youthful look to their breasts which helps to improve self-confidence and body shape.

Before And After Results

Is a breast lift right for me?

To determine if the breast lift procedure is right for you, consider the following:

  • Undergo a consultation to determine if your breast ptosis or droop is classified as mild, moderate, or severe
  • Understand that for mild ptosis, bilateral breast augmentation usually is adequate to correct the problem
  • For moderate ptosis, surgical correction with a vertical mastopexy is required
  • For severe ptosis, surgical correction as above, combined with bilateral breast augmentation is often required
  • Your medical history, medical conditions and medications will need to be discussed during your consultation
  • Information about any previous cosmetic procedures will be taken into account
  • Our team will also inspect your skin to determine what kind of results should be expected
  • We will discuss your expectations, the potential risks, and how long it will take you to heal

What does the procedure involve?

The essence of ptosis correction surgery is the lifting of the nipple-areola complex to a new, raised, and better position.

  • A pedicle (breast tissue with its blood supply intact) is created to enable the nipple-areola complex to be shifted into its new position
  • A small amount of breast tissue is removed in the upward shift of the nipple-areola complex The breast tissue is then sewn together to get a good shape of the breast around the nipple-areola complex

Surgery is done under general anaesthesia at Baringa Private Hospital and takes about 3 hours. You will be required to spend one night in the hospital for post-operative care and monitoring.
