Breast lift surgery is a procedure in which the surgeon eradicates excess skin of the breast and reshapes it properly, maintaining the function of breastfeeding, areolae site, and nipple sensation. If the breasts are too big, some excess fat may be removed (reduction) during the surgery, while in the opposite case the surgeon may implant fat tissue of the same patient or an implant (augmentation) to obtain larger breasts.
After recurrent pregnancies, the ligaments (bonds) that assist in holding breasts may extend as breasts become fuller and heavier. Furthermore, as the woman gets older, the skin of the breast becomes less flexible and gradually begins to stretch especially in the women who have large and heavy breasts, or in case of weight change. Gravity in long term may cause stretching in the breasts.
Breast lift surgery is mainly a cosmetic surgery (except the cases of reconstructive surgery). It aims to restore your chest roundness, improve your appearance, and give you more self-confidence
This surgical procedure aims to regain natural contour and size with the least amount of visible scars. This aim can be achieved by cutting off the excess skin, and/or compensate for the lost volume. There are many types of mastopexy surgery according to the breast lift incision types, which often connect with the quantity of lift achieved.
You may benefit from having the surgery to ask for breast reduction or augmentation at the same time.
Before breast lift surgery, the surgeon locates the site of the nipples. In most patients, the nipple location is at or slightly above the inframammary fold.
The surgery may be done in a clinic as an outpatient or in a hospital under local or general anesthetic in most cases, where the patient may discharge from the hospital on the same day of operation. Generally, the duration of the procedure ranges between 2-3 hours.
The surgeon makes, for instance, an incision around the areolae with another vertical incision toward the inframammary fold (3-5 cm above it). He/she may extend the incision left and right as an inverted T letter. This position enables the surgeon to cut off the extra skin and to do the breast lift without breast implants or to support breast lift with breast implant (augmentation) if it is necessary. If the breast is large, the surgeon may cut off some of the fat tissues and reduce its size as he/she performs the breast lift surgery with breast reduction.
After reshaping the breast, the surgeon may make inner dissolvable stitches and another layer of external stitches in addition to placing a drain, and put surgical tape over the surgery area.

- Your general health is good and your weight is stable

- Your breasts are elongated and pendulous
- Your nipples are downward the breast crease when you don’t wear a bra
- Your nipples and areolas are extremely downward
- You have an over wrinkle skin and your areolae are larger than usual
- You have one breast that is longer than the other
