BREAST LIFT - MASTOPEXY
Breast lift
The loss of elasticity in the skin, the weight of the mammary glands and other factors such as weight loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding all affect the shape and condition of the breasts.
Patients, who are on the whole satisfied with the size of their breasts, can have the position of the nipples corrected and achieve firm breasts with a more youthful appearance by means of skin tightening.
Some patients have also lost volume in their breasts over the years. In such cases the combination of a breast implant with skin tightening can improve both the size, shape and position of the breasts in one single operation.
A breast lift – also known as mastopexy – is a surgical correction which lifts drooping breasts for a certain length of time at least and reshapes them. In the course of a breast lift, the areola, which is frequently enlarged, can be reduced in size.

When is a breast lift (mastopexy) beneficial for me?
A breast lift can improve your external appearance. However, before you decide on a breast lift you should carefully consider your expectations and discuss these with your plastic surgeon.
This will help your surgeon to understand your expectations and to decide whether they are realistic and achievable by means of an operation.
As a rule, the best results are attained in women with small, drooping breasts. However, breasts of every size can be lifted, although the results are not as long-lasting for heavy breasts, as the skin will continue to be stretched by the weight of the mammary glands.
After pregnancy and breastfeeding many women want a breast lift as their breasts have lost volume, leaving overstretched skin.
If you are planning to have further children, it is advisable to postpone breast lift surgery.
In general there is no risk that a breast lift will interfere with any further pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, further pregnancy and breastfeeding is likely to stretch the breasts and skin once again, invalidating the benefits of any preceding breast lift.
