Overview
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that can reposition breast tissue and reshape the breast to address sagging or changes in position, whether from aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change, depending on your individual anatomy and suitability.
A breast lift is one of several breast surgery options offered, and can be considered alongside Breast Augmentation.
Suitability
Who It May Be Suitable For
A breast lift may be considered by patients with breast sagging or changes in shape or position who are not necessarily seeking a change in volume. Individual suitability is always confirmed during consultation.
- Patients with breast sagging or lowered position
- Patients seeking restored contour without a significant volume change
- Patients whose breast shape has changed after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change
- Patients who understand surgery requires recovery and individualized planning
- Patients whose suitability is confirmed through consultation

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a breast lift the same as breast augmentation?
No. A breast lift repositions existing breast tissue to address shape or position, while augmentation adds volume. The two are sometimes combined, which is discussed individually during consultation.
Will a breast lift add volume?
A breast lift on its own is not primarily intended to increase volume. If additional volume is also a goal, combining it with augmentation can be discussed during consultation.
How long does recovery take?
Initial swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first days and typically ease over the following weeks, with results continuing to settle over a longer period. Individual healing times vary.
Will there be visible scarring?
Scarring is a normal part of this surgery, and its extent depends on the surgical technique used, which is planned around your anatomy. This is discussed in detail during consultation.
Is a revision procedure ever needed?
Occasionally, a secondary procedure may be considered over time, particularly as tissue naturally continues to change. This possibility is discussed during your consultation.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate?
Candidacy depends on your anatomy, goals, and medical history, all reviewed during an individual consultation with Dr. Hedayat.
