Also known as Mastopexy, breast lift surgery is used to elevate saggy breasts and re-contour them in order to enhance the shape of a woman’s body and recreating a youthful look.

Beware that pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations might increase the sagging of the breasts, resulting in the appearance of excess skin and loss of firmness.

During the procedure, the surgeon will remove excess skin through an incision in the areola or a vertical incision and provide a rejuvenated shape to your breasts. In most cases the procedure is relatively pain-free. You should nonetheless expect to have a slightly scar around the areola and down to the bottom of the breast.

In breasts that are saggy and have very little volume, your surgeon might propose the combination of a breast implant to the mastopexy to increase the upper pole fullness or “décolleté”.

Breastfeeding will still be possible after the procedure, although it is recommended to wait until the end of pregnancies before having the operation done.
