What is breast lift surgery?
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten, reshape, and lift breasts. The procedure takes only 1-2 hours and leaves your breast skin firm and youthful. However, it's essential to set realistic expectations: breast lifting does not change your breast size. If you desire larger breasts, you can consider breast augmentation. Often, patients opt for the combination of both to achieve breast lifting and augmentation simultaneously.
What are the benefits of breast lift?
Breast lift offers multiple benefits, addressing various concerns in your breasts:
- Breast tightening, lifting, and reshaping: Over time, your breasts may lose their firmness, and droop. Breast lifting helps position your breasts higher on your chest. Plus, your breasts regain a round-shaped, firm, and youthful appearance.
- Restored breast symmetry: Breast lift eliminates any difference between your breasts, creating perfect harmony.
- Areola reduction and nipple correction: The procedure can reduce the unwanted dark circles around your nipples and face them forward.
Types of breast lift we offer
At Beauté Concept, we offer two types of breast lifting surgery depending on your breast size and shape.
Breast lift surgery
During the breast lift procedure, the surgeon removes and repositions sagging skin while tightening the underlying breast muscles. Besides that, he can reduce the size of the areola and turn loose nipples forward. Breast lift surgery elevates the aesthetic appearance of your breasts, boosting your self-confidence and beauty.
Breast lift surgery with implants
This procedure is an ideal combination of breast lift and breast augmentation. The surgeon corrects sagging breasts and places implants to enhance your breast proportions and add extra volume. Breast lift surgery with implants will make your breasts look tight, perky and plump.
Will a breast lift procedure change the size of breasts?
Breast lift surgery tightens and firms your breasts but alone the procedure can’t alter your breast size. If you want to have a larger or smaller breast shape, breast augmentation or breast reduction will be the perfect options to choose. Breast lift is often performed in combination with breast augmentation to achieve breast lifting and augmentation simultaneously.

FAQ
How do I know if I need a breast lift?
You may consider a breast lift when you notice your breasts starting to stretch and sag. Usually, breasts get saggy because of aging, weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, genetics and lifestyle. But mastopexy can significantly tighten your breasts, lift them closer to your chest, and restore your youthful shape.
How long does a breast lift last?
Typically, the results of a breast lift procedure last more than 10 years. But remember that breast lift doesn't halt or slow down the natural aging process. So, as you age, you may notice signs of aging on your breasts, too. But the initial results of the breast lift surgery will remain for about a decade.
How long do breast lift incisions heal?
After a breast lift surgery, you may have swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort for about 2 weeks. The incisions will heal within the same timeframe. Breast Lift surgery recovery takes several months. But you can return to your office work and resume light activities within 1-3 weeks.
How long does a breast lift take
The procedure normally takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type of breast lift. The recovery period is short, many patients return to their regular activities within the first week after surgery.
Does a breast lift leave scars?
Since breast lift surgery is invasive, it does leave scars. However, the surgeon makes incisions along the borders of the areola, within natural creases, or along the contours of your breasts to hide those scars. So, the breast lift scars are concealed and virtually invisible. Although permanent, they tend to fade over time and blend with the surrounding tissue.
Does a breast lift make breasts look smaller?
Breast lift doesn't directly affect the size of your breasts. So, your breasts can't get smaller as a result of a breast lift. But you may need to wear a smaller bra as your breasts get better-shaped and more compact.
