Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)
What can the procedures achieve?

It is possible to reshape the breast into one which looks younger and feels firmer. At the same time, the breast can be elevated to a more normal position on the chest wall.

The breast itself is remodelled into a tighter cone and the nipples are re-positioned to a higher level so that they lie at the apex of the new breast shape. Any surplus skin is removed from underneath the nipple area. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple) if required.

In cases of breast asymmetry, a mastopexy may be combined with a breast reduction to lift both breasts to the same position and achieve the same size. Alternatively, it is also possible to combine a mastopexy with the placement of implants, should you want to increase the size of your breasts as well as lifting them.
