A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes and elevates sagging breasts to create a firmer, more youthful contour. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and natural aging can cause the breasts to lose their shape and elasticity. This surgery restores the breast position without significantly changing their size unless combined with implants or reduction.
During the procedure, excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipples are repositioned to a more aesthetically balanced height. This results in a lifted and natural-looking breast profile that enhances overall body proportions and confidence. Mastopexy can also correct asymmetry or stretched areolae.
A breast lift is ideal for women who want a natural enhancement rather than additional volume. Whether performed alone or in combination with augmentation or reduction, it offers long-lasting results that rejuvenate the chest area without compromising comfort, safety, or daily functionality.
- Crescent Lift: A subtle lift ideal for women with minimal sagging. A small incision along the upper edge of the areola allows gentle repositioning of the nipple and slight tightening of the breast.
- Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift: Suitable for mild to moderate sagging, this technique involves a circular incision around the areola. It tightens the breast tissue while minimizing visible scarring.
- Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: Used for moderate sagging, combining an incision around the areola and a vertical line down to the breast crease. It offers significant reshaping and better projection.
- Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift: Recommended for severe sagging or major reshaping. It includes incisions around the areola, vertically downward, and along the breast fold, allowing maximum lift and contour refinement.
- Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation Mastopexy): Combines lifting with added volume. Ideal for women seeking both elevation and fullness for a more complete transformation.
From your first consultation to your final result, the breast lift journey is tailored to your needs. Our surgeons begin with a detailed assessment to understand your goals, breast anatomy, and skin elasticity. This ensures the most suitable lift technique is selected for your case.
On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a fully equipped, internationally certified hospital setting. The surgeon removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue, and repositions the nipples to achieve a balanced and natural contour. Depending on your desired outcome, the lift can be performed alone or combined with implants for additional volume.
After the surgery, patients can usually return to light activities within a few days. Full healing and final results develop gradually as swelling decreases. Throughout your recovery, the Estexper medical team provides close follow-up and guidance to ensure comfort, safety, and long-lasting results.
