All About Breast Lifts!

A Mastopexy, or a breast lift, is a surgical procedure that is designed to remove excess skin, breast and fatty tissue, restore the firmness and shape of your breasts due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations or gravity for more lifted and shapely breasts.

If you have been left with stretched skin and less volume and you would like to restore the shape and position of your breasts…. then a Breast Lift may be right for you!

A Breast Lift can…..

*Re-position the nipple higher up on the breast
*Give breasts a more youthful appearance
*Give a better shape
*Reduce the areolar size (the pigmented area around the nipple)
*Increase their firmness
*Enhance your self-image
*Build your confidence
*Restore what you may have lost due to pregnancy or weight loss
*Restores proportion to your breasts
*Balance out asymmetry of breasts

There are two main types of breast lift incisions:

Vertical (or Lolipop): this incision goes around the areolar complex (the pigmented area of the breast), and down the front of the breast to the fold.

Anchor (or classic lift): this incision goes around the areolar complex (the pigmented area of the breast), down the front of the breast and under the breast along the crease.


Depending on your situation, it will take the recommendations of one of our board-certified cosmetic surgeons to find out which incision will give you the best result.
