Breast lift without implants

The most common causes of droopy breasts are pregnancy, breastfeeding or significant weight loss.

If your breasts are sagging but still have sufficient volume, a breast lift – or mastopexy – will address this, resulting in breasts that have a more pert appearance.

What does breast lift surgery without implants involve?
The operation involves raising the breast by tightening and removing excess skin in order to produce an uplifted breast. The amount of scarring that occurs will depend on how much the breast needs to be lifted to achieve the ideal look.

You will need to talk to your surgeon to discuss the matter in detail.

How long will I be in hospital for?
The procedure is usually carried out under a general anaesthetic and will require an overnight stay in the hospital. In the majority of cases, you will be discharged the following day.
