Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Sagging breasts can reduce a woman’s self-confidence and may affect her sexual life. This is often the result of weight loss or natural aging, and it is also commonly seen in younger women after pregnancy and breastfeeding, often accompanied by a reduction in breast volume.

A breast lift (mastopexy) aims to improve the shape, volume, and position of the breasts. At the same time, the nipple is repositioned to a higher, natural-looking location for a well-shaped breast.

In many cases, the lift is combined with the placement of a silicone implant to restore breast volume, achieve a fuller bust, and enhance the overall aesthetic result. Breast lift surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures for both mild and more significant sagging, with no hidden risks or complications.

Along with lifting the breast, the nipple is repositioned to a natural location that matches the newly shaped breast.

In many cases, the breast lift is combined with the placement of a silicone implant to restore breast volume, achieve a fuller bust, and improve the overall aesthetic result.

Mastopexy is performed under general anesthesia in a clinic, where the patient usually stays for 24 hours. The procedure lasts 1–2 hours. Incisions are made around the nipple and often extend vertically toward the inframammary fold. The greater the sagging, the larger the final scars may be, but they gradually become discreet and, eventually, minimally visible.

Postoperative pain is mild and can be fully managed with standard pain medication.

Patients can return to daily activities within 1–2 days. After surgery, it is recommended to wear a supportive, sports-style bra for three months..
