Breasts can become deflated and saggy due to age, breastfeeding, and gravity. Mastopexy is a surgery that restores them to their proper position, repositioning them to a firmer, fuller appearance. If the nipple hasn’t descended below the breast and is still pointing outward, a lift and implants may be sufficient to fill in the empty spaces. However, if the nipple is pointing downward, a mastopexy, a type of breast reduction surgery, will be necessary. Implants don’t reposition the nipple, and having the implant and nipple in different locations can create a visual discrepancy.

How is the Procedure Performed?

Breast lift and augmentation can be performed during the same procedure, either after implant placement or after the breast has been restored to its natural shape. If the breast is excessively large, it must be reduced. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the duration varies depending on the procedure.

What is the Treatment Duration?

While the procedure varies depending on the procedure, the treatment process for breast lift surgery is similar to that of breast reduction surgery.
