Mastopexy (commonly referred to as a breast lift) is a surgical procedure designed to lift/reposition the breasts. This procedure will result in a change in the breast shape and/ or position.
Who May Consider Breast Lift Surgery?
A breast lift may be suitable for individuals who experience:
- Changes in breast shape or volume over time
- A lower breast position than desired
- Changes in nipple position or skin elasticity
During a consultation, Dr Goldman provides a detailed assessment, discussing the procedure and expected outcomes.
Understanding the Mastopexy Procedure
Mastopexy involves removing excess skin and altering the shape of the breast tissue. Depending on the patient’s goals, the procedure usually involves adjusting the nipple position.
Key considerations include:
- Degree of breast repositioning required
- Incision placement and surgical technique
- Postoperative care and recovery timeline
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients receive clear aftercare instructions, including guidance on healing, activity modifications and follow-up appointments. The recovery timeline varies for each patient, and Dr Goldman provides ongoing support throughout the healing process.
