What is it?
Breast lift, or mastopexy, involves making an incision around the areola and two incisions down the breast. This keyhole incision enables the surgeon to remove excess skin, reposition the nipple and reshape the breast.

Depending on the severity of ptosis, or sagging, the nipple may be moved to a higher position, excess skin removed, and skin tightened to create a firmer, higher breast without the insertion of an implant. The number and pattern of incisions depend on the elasticity of the skin and the extent of the procedure.

Recovery time:
Non-strenuous activity can be resumed after 5-7 days and strenuous activity after 4 to 6 weeks.
