What is a Breast Uplift?
A breast uplift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. It involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the areola to restore a youthful, lifted appearance. Breast uplift surgery can help women whose breasts have lost shape due to factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or aging. It can improve breast contour, making them firmer, higher, and more symmetrical.
This procedure is not designed for increasing breast size, but it can be combined with breast implants for enhanced fullness if desired. The surgery is tailored to your unique goals, and a consultation with an experienced surgeon can help you decide on the best approach.
What Happens During Surgery?
The procedure involves the removal of excess skin and tightening of the remaining tissue to create a firmer, more youthful breast shape. The nipple and areola are often repositioned to a more natural height. In some cases, the areola may also be reduced in size to achieve a more balanced aesthetic. The surgeon will choose the incision technique based on your anatomy and desired results.
There are typically three types of incisions:
- Periareolar (around the areola)
- Vertical (around the areola and down to the breast crease)
- Anchor (around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the crease)
After making the necessary incisions, the surgeon reshapes the breast tissue and removes any excess skin to achieve the desired firmness and lift.

Is a Breast Uplift Right for Me?
The benefits of a breast uplift include restoring firmness, shape, and a youthful appearance to sagging breasts, providing a more youthful and lifted breast contour. It can also increase self-esteem and confidence, especially when wearing clothing or swimwear. Additionally, the procedure can correct uneven or asymmetrical breasts, enhancing overall breast symmetry and appearance.
Like any surgery, a breast uplift carries some risks, such as infection or poor wound healing, scarring or changes in nipple sensation, and potential changes in breast shape over time. There may also be complications related to anaesthesia. However, discussing your concerns with your surgeon before the procedure can help minimise these risks and ensure a safer outcome.
How much does a breast uplift cost?
Every breast uplift is planned around you. Your price depends on how much lift you need, whether you would like implants at the same time, your anaesthetic and hospital stay, and any other procedure at the same time.
Your surgeon confirms your plan at your free consultation, so rather than show a figure that may not apply to you, we send you your personal price.

FAQ's
A breast uplift, also known as mastopexy, involves removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue to lift and reshape sagging breasts. The surgeon may also reposition the areola and nipple to achieve a more youthful and natural appearance.
Recovery typically takes 6–8 weeks. You may be able to return to work within 1–2 weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
Yes, many women opt to combine a breast uplift with breast implants for enhanced volume and lift. This combination can provide a fuller, more youthful breast shape, but your surgeon will assess whether this is suitable for your body and goals.
Scarring is a natural part of the healing process. The extent and visibility of scars depend on the technique used, but they are generally located along the breast crease, around the areola, or vertically from the areola to the breast crease. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
The cost of a breast uplift varies depending on factors such as the surgeon’s expertise, location, and the complexity of the procedure. It is best to book a consultation for a personalized quote. Many clinics offer financing options to make the procedure more accessible.
