The breast uplift procedure at our London hospital primarily aims to lift and reshape your breasts to create a more youthful, perky appearance. Surgery creates higher and firmer breasts and reinstates an improved nipple position. The Mastopexy is a very common cosmetic procedure and many women who have lost their desired breast shape are suitable. It involves removing extra loose skin from the breasts and restoring the shape to create a natural appearance. Breast tissue is also remodelled, raising up the breasts.

Due to the natural ageing process, gravity, breast feeding and weight loss, our breasts begin to sag over time. The skin loses elasticity which can cause the breasts to lose their natural shape and firmness too. The breast uplift can treat a range of concerns and women who have naturally small breasts may also want to consider a breast enlargement for enhanced results. During the procedure our surgeons will correct breasts that appear out of proportion, breasts that have nipples/areolas that point downwards and restore symmetry. Being unhappy with the size, shape and proportion of breasts is common, and this may lead you to cover up or avoid activities you previously had the confidence to participate in.

We specialise in breast uplift surgeries, and unlike certain cosmetic procedures, the Mastopexy is relatively straightforward. If you have naturally large breasts, you may want to consider a breast reduction alongside the breast uplift. Not everyone is suitable for surgery and those who are considering pregnancy or breast feeding should ideally wait. Breast feeding after surgery can possibly undo the results.

There are many advantages to a Mastopexy. They include:

• Creating fuller, higher breasts
• Reducing sagging
• Restoring body confidence after pregnancy or weight loss
• Reversing the natural ageing process
• Perkier breasts
• Improved nipple projection
• Making breasts appear more symmetrical
• Reducing under-breast irritation

Our breast surgeons use their aesthetic skills to carefully reposition the breasts following removal of tissue and skin to ensure they are symmetrical and nipples placed in the correct place. Our surgeons also pay close attention to the incisions made, to reduce the chance of visible scarring.

If you are considering a Mastopexy, it is important to speak to one of our specialist breast surgeons for us to establish if you are suitable for treatment, or require an alternative procedure. All patients will first attend a consultation with our surgeon. We will take a full medical history and you will have chance to ask all of the questions and express any concerns. During your consultation, we will take time to get to know your concerns and procedure goals. It is important to note, a Mastopexy alone does not add volume to the breasts. Many patients also undergo complimentary procedures.
