What is a Breast Uplift?
Breast uplift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure designed to reshape and lift breasts that have lost firmness due to ageing, weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Over time, the skin loses elasticity, causing the breasts to sag. A breast uplift restores a youthful, firmer appearance by removing excess skin and repositioning the breasts to a higher position.
How is Breast Uplift Performed?
There are different surgical techniques for breast uplift, and the right approach depends on each patient’s anatomy and desired outcome. The procedure typically involves making an incision around the areola and extending downward to remove excess skin. The nipples are repositioned to a higher placement for a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result. In some cases, the areolas may be reduced in size to enhance symmetry.
One of the most common techniques is the inverted T scar, which is particularly effective for patients with larger breasts or significant excess skin. While scarring is a concern for many, these scars gradually fade over time and are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible.
Breast Uplift with Implants
For patients who have lost breast volume, combining a breast uplift with FDA-approved breast implants can enhance fullness and shape. While the uplift procedure raises the breasts to a more youthful position, implants restore lost volume, creating a firmer and more proportioned appearance.
Many women opt for this combination to achieve both lift and enhancement, boosting body confidence and satisfaction with their breast shape. Since breast uplift surgery naturally reduces cup size due to the removal of excess skin and tissue, implants can be an excellent solution for those seeking additional volume.

As with any surgical procedure, breast uplift surgery carries some risks, including swelling, bruising, infection, temporary numbness, or changes in nipple sensation. Your surgeon will discuss how these risks can be minimised during surgery and recovery.
Initial improvements are visible within a few weeks, but full results typically become apparent after several months once all swelling has subsided.
The procedure usually takes between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery and whether additional corrections are needed.
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Afterwards, mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal, but pain can be managed with prescribed medication.
Most patients recover within two weeks, with noticeable improvements in swelling and bruising. However, complete healing may take several months. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four to six weeks.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within one to two weeks, depending on their healing progress and the nature of their job.
