Mastopexy, also known as a breast uplift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to change and raise (lift) the breasts of a woman. The surgery can involve changing the contour, elevation and size of the breasts for females who are unhappy with how they hang or sag. Breast uplift procedures' aim is to bring about a more aesthetically pleasing bust that is in proportion to their upper body so that they are correctly placed on the chest.

3.  Mastopexy is a procedure that raises, uplifts and reshapes the breast giving a youthful
appearance to the breasts. Surgery involves an incision that is made around the areola
and extends downwards towards the lower end of the breast and looks like a ‘key hole’.

4.  Sometimes further incision horizontally is added along the breast crease.

5.  Breastuplift does not add to the breast tissue but does change the overall shape and
position of both nipple and the breast. Breast implants can be inserted to increase size and
improve firmness.
 The surgerytakes up to two hours and is performed under general anaesthesia.

6.  Swelling of the breast after the procedure is common and last for few days. You may have
some pain specially while cough or moving around. Collection of blood in the wound is
rare and if it occurs it needs to be removed and the implant replaced. Infection is rare and
is treated with antibiotics. Really if the infection persists the breast implant is taken out
and reinserted few months later. Poor healing may cause separation of the wound and
rarely would require skin grafting.

7.  People who smoke, have diabetes, are obese or elderly have delayed healing. Future
breast feeding is not possible with this type of procedure. Sensation around the nipple
and areola could be altered. The scars may remain red, lumpy and sensitive for few weeks
to months and they are permanent but fade with time. Darkerskin people and smokers
tend to have the worst scars. Breast asymmetry and irregularities can occur rarely. Fat
necrosis can present as lumps with pain but settle without treatment in few months.

8.  Day 1 – 4:You will fell tight around the breast and they will be supported by a sports bra.
Sleep upright to reduce swelling, move around in home for basic needs but keep walking.
 Day 5 – 14:Nondissolvable stitches will be removed. Gradually increase your activity but
no strenuous activity.

9.  Week 2 – 4:You could drive and return to work if breast remain comfortable. Start gentle
exercise. The breast begin to appear natural.
 Month 6 – 9:Scars begin to settle and fade gradually. You can assess the final result.
