Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Over time, a woman’s breasts naturally change due to aging, pregnancy, significant weight loss, or hormonal shifts. These changes often lead to sagging breasts, stretched skin, and a loss of volume or firmness. A breast lift—also called mastopexy—is a restorative procedure designed to reshape and elevate the breasts for a more youthful, upright appearance.
Our Breast Lift procedure at Avané Clinic rejuvenates and elevates your breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This surgery enhances shape and firmness, countering the effects of pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging. With increasing demand for breast lifts, we offer expert care to help you achieve a youthful and contoured breast profile.
A breast lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that elevates and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple areola complex. It’s often performed to correct breast ptosis (sagging) caused by weight fluctuations, aging, pregnancy, or genetics.
This surgical procedure does not significantly change breast size, but it can restore a youthful breast contour and help the breasts sit higher on the chest. For patients wanting more volume, a lift may be combined with breast implants; for those with oversized breasts, a breast reduction may be performed simultaneously.
Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon will make incisions based on your goals, degree of sagging, and breast lift technique chosen. The surgeon lifts and reshapes the breast tissue, repositions the nipple to a more natural height, and tightens the breast skin to improve shape. The incisions are carefully closed, and a surgical bra is worn to support the new breast contour during healing.

This procedure can also help restore confidence and improve clothing fit, especially for women who feel self-conscious about the shape or position of their breasts.
Breast lift surgery is primarily used to correct sagging breasts caused by:
A breast lift provides both physical and emotional benefits, including:
While it won’t significantly change your breast size, the surgery often gives the impression of slightly smaller breasts due to tighter, lifted skin. Many patients find that breast lift results last for years, especially when combined with a stable weight and supportive bras.
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical record, examine your breast tissue, and determine the most suitable breast lift technique for your goals.
You may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery if:
Most patients return home the same day and begin light activity within a few days. The healing process includes some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which is managed with pain medication. A surgical bra will support your new breast contour and help reduce tension on the incision site.
You’ll be advised to avoid lifting, bending, or strenuous exercise for about two weeks. Mastopexy scars are generally well-hidden and fade over time with proper care. Follow-up appointments with your healthcare team ensure that your blood supply, incisions, and symmetry are healing properly.
The results of a breast lift at Avané Clinic are visibly apparent immediately after surgery, with the final shape continuing to refine over the next few months as swelling subsides and the skin adjusts. Benefits of the procedure include a more youthful and elevated breast profile, improved firmness, and a boost in self-confidence. While incisions will leave permanent scars, they typically fade over time. The long-lasting results are maintained with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, although natural changes such as ageing and gravity may continue to affect the breast appearance.
At Avané Clinic, we believe that every woman deserves to feel confident in her body at every stage of life. Our plastic surgeons are highly trained in breast lift techniques that minimize scarring, preserve breast sensation, and maintain a healthy blood supply to the nipple-areola complex.
We take a customized approach to every breast surgery, whether you’re correcting breast ptosis, addressing asymmetry, or restoring shape after breast cancer or reconstructive surgery. With a focus on safety, proportion, and natural beauty, your results are designed to last—and to feel like you.
A lift doesn’t remove much volume, but by tightening and reshaping tissue, breasts may appear smaller. If desired, augmentation can restore fullness.
Yes. Combining a breast lift with breast implants enhances both volume and shape. It’s a common and effective approach for many patients.
Some temporary changes are normal. Most patients retain or regain full breast sensation over time, especially when nerve pathways are preserved.
Results can last many years. However, aging, gravity, and weight fluctuations can affect longevity. Supportive bras and good lifestyle habits help.
A breast lift reshapes and raises the breasts; breast augmentation increases size. Some patients benefit from combining both.
As with any surgical procedure, risks include poor healing, infection, bleeding, or possible complications with the incision site or symmetry.
Mastopexy scars vary by technique. Most fade significantly over time and are placed discreetly around the areola or under the breast.
Many women can breastfeed after a lift, but outcomes vary. If preserving breast milk ability is important, let your surgeon know during consultation.
Most patients go home the same day and do not require drains. Recovery is outpatient unless combined with another major procedure.
Yes. Stop herbal supplements, certain medications, and avoid smoking before and after surgery, as these can interfere with healing.
