Breast uplift
A mastopexy, or breast uplift, is a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes your breasts to restore a fuller, firmer, and more youthful contour.
It’s especially helpful after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss — all of which can cause your breasts to drop or change shape. A mastopexy also reduces the size of your areola, which may become stretched as your breasts drop.
If you're looking to increase the size of your breasts too, we can combine the uplift with implants (augmentation-mastopexy).
