Breast Lift
from £5,950
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy or a breast uplift, is a surgical procedure during which the breasts are lifted and reshaped. This type of breast surgery is popular amongst those who feel they have sagging breasts, either as a result of age, weight, pregnancy or for hereditary reasons. A breast lift does not require implants or a breast reduction but can be performed in combination with breast implants depending on your desired outcome.

Also referred to as a mastopexy or a breast uplift, breast lift surgery aims to remove excess skin and tighten and reposition breast tissue to lift and improve sagging, providing a more rounded breast shape. Many people experience sagging breasts and a loss of shape because of aging, weight fluctuation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding; whilst completely natural, with breast lift surgery you can regain a lifted and rounded breast shape, significantly improving overall body confidence.
Breast Uplift With Implants
It is a popular choice to combine a breast lift (mastopexy) with a breast enlargement. Performed to reshape and lift the breast by repositioning breast tissue and tightening the skin, breast lift surgery is performed solely to lift the breast, and not necessarily designed to increase breast size using implants. However, choosing to combine procedures and using the right implant profile, you can benefit from increased breast size, alongside a lifted, more rounded appearance that can improve your happiness and confidence.
It is likely that uplift surgery on its own will make your chest fuller in appearance, but if you wish to physically increase the size with the use of breast implants, our expert team can recommend the best options available for you.
How is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
Before your surgery, you’ll have a pre-operative consultation during which your surgeon will examine your breasts and explain the operation in detail.
There are several different ways to perform a breast uplift, and your procedure will vary depending on your physical characteristics and the results you want to achieve.
Carried out under general anaesthetic, a breast uplift typically involves:
- Making an incision, the surgeon will remove tissue and skin from around the areola.
- An anchor incision is usually then made – around the nipple, then down and then underneath the breast crease (inframammary fold). A periareolar mastopexy usually just involves an incision around the nipple. A ‘Lolipop’ lift could also be used, which is around the nipple and down, but not in the breast crease.
- Underlying breast tissue is then lifted and reshaped, and the nipple and areola are repositioned. The areola may also be reduced in size.
- Any excess skin or tissue is then removed to tighten the skin and improve the overall appearance of the breasts.
Every breast uplift procedure is performed by our expert surgeons with the utmost care and professionalism. We will keep you fully informed through every step of the process and will only ever work within your guidelines.

Scarring From A Breast Lift
As with any form of breast surgery, it’s normal to expect scarring as a result of the incisions made during the procedure. The scar for a standard mastopexy is often placed around the nipple, from the nipple to the natural crease under the breast, and then along the crease of the breast.
Whilst our experienced surgeons use techniques to minimise scarring as much as possible, scars will appear red and raised immediately following surgery. Scarring from a breast lift will begin to fade over time, becoming less obvious as they flatten and lighten in colour.
Recovery From Breast Lift Surgery
Like any breast augmentation, the recovery timeline for breast lift surgery will vary from person to person depending on individual circumstances and the type of procedure you’ve had. Typically, full recovery from a breast lift takes six-eight weeks.
Following breast lift surgery, many women take one-two weeks off work. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting also need to be avoided in the first couple of weeks following surgery.
Swelling and discomfort are normal, and swelling should be completely gone after a few months. Your surgeon will provide you with comprehensive instructions for the recovery period and may advise that you wear a special post-operative bra for a few months to offer support as your breasts settle.
How Much Does A Breast Lift Cost?
The cost of a breast lift varies depending on the type of breast lift surgery you have. A breast lift (mastopexy) starts at £5,950.
The cost of a breast lift with implants starts at £6,995. And a breast lift with implants and inverted nipple correction costs £7,195.
As your initial consultation is free, this cost covers:
- Pre-operative assessment
- Breast lift surgery and surgical care team
- Post-operative aftercare for 12 months

How do I know if breast lift surgery is right for me?
Only after careful consideration and discussion with your surgeon will we proceed with any form of treatment. In general, the method of surgery and achievable results are often determined by the amount of loose skin in the breast. A breast lift could be right for you if you feel your breasts have a sagging appearance and/or your nipples are pointing downwards, and this has led to a decrease in body confidence and overall happiness.
-
WHERE IS THE SCAR GOING TO BE?
The scar for a standard mastopexy is often placed around the nipple, from the nipple to the natural crease under the breast and then along the crease of the breast. Various methods may use different scars. All surgery requires a scar and all scars take time to soften and fade. You will not see the final appearance of your scar until up to a year after surgery. The scar is usually red and raised for the first month or two after your operation.
-
WHO MAKES A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A BREAST LIFT?
As with all procedures, the results vary from patient to patient. However, we tend to see the best results from women with small, somewhat sagging breasts. Larger breasts will often succumb to the force of gravity and overtime the breasts can sag. It is advisable to postpone any surgery of this kind until after you have had children. Pregnancy can cause the breasts to stretch, thus counteracting the results.
-
WILL I NEED TO HAVE IMPLANTS INSERTED DURING MY BREAST LIFT?
When too much volume has been lost to achieve a full breast shape an implant will be necessary. In some cases a breast enlargement is performed at the same time to increase the overall size of the bust.
-
WILL I BE ABLE TO BREAST FEED AFTER A BREAST UPLIFT?
No, in most cases the milk ducts are cut when the breasts are being repositioned during the operation, preventing breast feeding in the future.
-
HOW LONG DOES A BREAST LIFT LAST
Your age, genetics and any weight change can influence the shape of your breasts over time, but on average the results of a breast lift can last for 10-15 years.
