Breast uplift surgery, sometimes called a mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to lift and reshape droopy breasts that have lost volume and changed position on the chest.
This straightforward procedure restores firmer and higher breasts, transforming the way women feel about their bodies, restoring self-esteem and body confidence.

Why do women choose breast uplift surgery?
The appearance of the breasts can have a powerful impact on a woman’s self-esteem, and many women consult us because they have become dissatisfied with the appearance of their breasts.
Changes in the size and shape of a woman’s breasts can happen after a number of life events.
Fluctuating weight
Weight gain can stretch the skin of the breasts. After significant weight loss, the stretched breast skin may remain lax, making the breasts look droopy.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Breast volume often increases significantly during pregnancy. Glandular and fatty tissue both increase as the body prepares to produce milk for the forthcoming baby.
Once mothers have finished breastfeeding, the breasts rarely return to their former shape as the skin elasticity has been over-stretched, leaving loose skin and droopy breasts.
Menopause
During the natural ageing process and menopause, the breast tissue loses density and becomes more fatty. The shape and fullness of the breasts are affected, and the breasts may appear flatter and larger. Many women find these changes challenging and consult us after menopause.
A breast uplift surgery will reshape sagging breasts and restore your self-confidence.

How does breast lift surgery help?
Breast uplift surgery restores firmer and higher breasts.
During breast uplift surgery, breast sagging is corrected by remodelling the breast tissue, removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple.
A breast lift procedure creates a more aesthetically pleasing breast shape and improved position with minimal sagging.
A breast uplift near Leeds will give your sagging breasts a more youthful appearance and restore your confidence.

What happens during a breast uplift mastopexy?
Your surgeon will have meticulously planned your new breast shape and will mark up your breasts before surgery to ensure the desired effect is created.
A crescent-shaped incision is made in the natural breast crease.
The surgeon uses this incision to access the breast’s interior.
The breast tissue is redistributed to create a new breast shape.
The skin is tightened and excess skin trimmed away.
The nipple position is improved, and the incisions are closed with sutures, and a light dressing is applied.
How long does breast lift surgery take?
Breast uplift surgery takes around 60 to 180 minutes, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
The breast uplift procedure is performed using a general anaesthetic.
What is the recovery period after a breast uplift near Leeds?
The breast uplift procedure may be performed as a day case, or your surgeon may suggest that you stay overnight.
You should expect some tenderness in the breast area, but this can be controlled with simple pain relief.
You must avoid vigorous exercise and strenuous daily activities, such as lifting young children, for the first six weeks.
Your progress will be monitored with follow-up appointments at our clinic near Leeds.
Once the swelling has subsided, you will be delighted with your newly shaped breasts.
