A breast lift, also called mastopexy, is a procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts without the use of implants. Over time, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and aging can cause breasts to lose firmness and volume. A breast lift restores a youthful contour by tightening the skin, repositioning the tissue, and raising the nipple for a natural, refreshed look.
What to Expect Before Surgery
During your consultation, your surgeon will:
- Assess your breast shape and skin elasticity
- Discuss your goals and expected results
- Create a plan for the type of lift that best suits your body
Preparing for surgery often means maintaining a stable weight, avoiding smoking, and following specific pre-op instructions. Unlike breast augmentation, this procedure does not add size—it enhances your natural shape.
The Breast Lift Procedure
A breast lift focuses on reshaping your existing tissue. Surgeons typically:
- Remove excess skin
- Tighten and lift the breast tissue
- Reposition the nipple to a higher, more youthful placement
The technique varies depending on the degree of lift needed.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery is usually smoother than many patients expect. Most return to light activities within one week. To encourage proper healing, patients should:
- Wear a supportive surgical bra
- Avoid heavy lifting for several weeks
- Follow all aftercare instructions from their surgeon
Mild swelling and bruising are normal and gradually fade.
Before and After Results
The results of a breast lift without implants are visible almost immediately. Patients often notice:
- Breasts that sit higher on the chest
- Firmer, rounder contours
- Forward-facing, lifted nipples
- A natural, youthful look without added volume
