A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts by removing excess skin and restoring a more balanced position on the chest. Where breast weight or volume contributes to discomfort or disproportion, a reduction can be performed at the same time to improve comfort and shape. This surgery is commonly chosen after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change or natural ageing, when the breasts may feel lower, heavier or less comfortable than before.
The procedure focuses on position, contour and proportion, rather than simply changing size. Nipple position is corrected and the breast tissue reshaped so the breasts sit more naturally within clothing and everyday movement. The exact technique is tailored to breast shape, skin quality and the degree of lift required.
Recovery is gradual. Swelling and tightness are expected early on, with movement becoming easier as healing progresses. Results are visible early but continue to refine over several months. This procedure is best suited to patients seeking improved shape, comfort and balance, with a clear understanding of scarring and ongoing age-related change.
