Breast Uplift Surgery (Mastopexy)
It’s normal for our breasts to alter over time, through weight loss and childbirth. If you are concerned about sagging breasts that sit too low and you would like a perkier bust then a breast uplift procedure can provide you with a natural lift, improving the contours of your profile.
Uplift
A mastopexy, also referred to as a breast uplift procedure, is an operation that removes excess skin from a sagging bust whilst remodelling the breast tissue. You are likely to be suitable for a breast uplift procedure if your nipples lie in a low position and you lack volume in the upper portion of your breast. Mastopexy surgery lifts your breasts higher, providing a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.
Breast ptosis or drooping of the breasts can occur for a number of reasons. Most commonly childbirth, breastfeeding and weight loss. Each of these factors can result in a loss of breast volume and firmness. This can have implications for your mental health, causing you low self-esteem, particularly in the bedroom or when wearing lingerie but can also have a negative impact on your physical health. We often hear of women experiencing back pain from the downward pull of their breasts hanging too low. A breast uplift procedure can therefore provide a huge boost to both your mental and physical wellbeing.
Uplift with Augmentation
If you are looking to increase the size of your bust then you will need a breast implant inserted via a breast augmentation procedure. A mastopexy alone simply remodels your existing tissue. However, you can combine a breast implant with breast uplift surgery to both increase volume and provide lift.
This would be performed as a two-stage procedure. The first stage would correct the shape, and approximately 3-4 months later, the second stage would be to add volume.
