Uplift Surgery
Before Mastopexy
After Mastopexy
The breasts may be pendulous as a result of a relaxation of the ligaments. The actual
size may be fine but the breasts have lost their volume and tone or the nipples
may point downward.
The surgeon will carefully remove a small section of excess skin
from each breast
to lift the bustline, the result will give
the patient's bust a much more youthful appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I know if surgery is right for me?
Your surgeon will to tell you which form of breast surgery is most suitable for you and will
help you understand the risks. Only you can decide whether the operation is right
for you. Your surgeon will help you achieve your aim. Although no surgeon can give
a guarantee, cosmetic surgery should not be scheduled unless there is a good chance you will
be pleased with the result. The final decision remains one that only
you can make. The exact method of surgery is determined by the
amount of loose skin
you have in the breast.
Q: Where is the scar going to be?
The scar for a standard mastopexy is often placed around the nipple, from the nipple
to the natural crease under the breast and then along the crease of the breast.
Various methods may use different scars. All surgery requires a scar and all scars
take time to soften and fade. You will not see the final appearance of your scar
until up to a year after surgery. The scar is usually red and raised for the first month
or two after your operation.
Q: Who makes a good candidate for a breast uplift?
Women with small, saggy breasts will benefit the most from a breast lift, if the
breasts are too large, gravity may make the breasts sag again. If you are planning
more children in the future then you should postpone surgery as pregnancy may stretch
the breasts again and counteract the results.
Q: Will I need to have implants inserted during my breast lift?
When too much volume has been lost to achieve a full breast shape an implant will
be necessary. In some cases a breast enlargement is performed at the same time to
increase the overall size of the bust.
Q: Will I be able to breast feed after a breast uplift?
No, during the operation the milk ducts are cut in most cases when the breasts are
being repositioned preventing breast feeding in the future.
