Breast Uplift
Breast uplift surgery to restore position, shape and proportion
Breast uplift surgery is designed to improve breast position, reshape the breast and create a more balanced contour where skin laxity or drooping is present.
The aim is to restore a natural relationship between the breast, chest and overall body proportions without unnecessarily increasing or reducing volume.
A Structural Approach
Improving breast position without necessarily changing size
Breast uplift focuses on reshaping and repositioning the breast rather than altering volume. It is commonly considered where the breast sits lower on the chest or has lost shape over time.
The procedure involves removing excess skin, reshaping breast tissue and repositioning the nipple to create a more supported and natural contour.
Where volume is also a concern, a breast augmentation may be combined with uplift. Where breast size is excessive, breast reduction may be more appropriate.
What It Can Address
Position, shape and structural support
Breast uplift may be considered where breast position or shape affects overall balance.
Loss of shape
Reshaping breast tissue where fullness or contour has reduced over time.
Nipple position
Repositioning the nipple to suit the new breast shape and position.
Post-pregnancy changes
Addressing changes following pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.
