Over time, factors like aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes can cause the breasts to lose their natural shape and firmness. A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a youthful and balanced appearance.
If you’re seeking to enhance your silhouette without necessarily increasing breast size, a breast lift could be the ideal choice.
A breast lift (mastopexy) removes excess skin, tightens surrounding tissue, and repositions the nipple and areola for a more lifted and symmetrical look. Unlike augmentation, which adds volume with implants, a lift focuses on restoring firmness and position.
In some cases, a breast lift can be combined with augmentation or reduction for more comprehensive reshaping, depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals.
You may be an excellent candidate for a breast lift if you:
• Have sagging or drooping breasts due to age, pregnancy, or weight loss
• Notice stretched skin or downward-pointing nipples
• Feel your breasts have lost firmness or symmetry
• Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
• Do not plan for future pregnancies (as they may affect results)
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your breast shape, skin elasticity, and overall anatomy to create a customized plan.
The surgery is typically performed under anesthesia and takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on the technique used.
Here’s what generally happens:
Marking and anesthesia – The surgeon marks the incision areas and administers anesthesia for comfort.
Reshaping and repositioning – Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped.
Nipple repositioning – The nipple and areola are moved to a natural height, often reduced in size if stretched.
Closing incisions – Sutures are placed to support the new shape, and the area is bandaged for healing.
Modern surgical techniques minimize visible scarring and preserve natural sensitivity as much as possible.
Recovery from a breast lift is generally smooth when proper care is followed.
Key aftercare guidelines:
• Wear a supportive surgical bra as directed
• Avoid strenuous exercise or lifting for 3–4 weeks
• Sleep on your back to avoid pressure on the breasts
• Attend follow-up visits to monitor healing
• Expect some swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within a few weeks
Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, feeling more confident with their new contour.
The results of a breast lift are visible almost immediately, though final shaping becomes apparent as swelling decreases.

I am very pleased with the results of my liposuction, BBL, and breast augmentation/lift surgery performed by Dr. Fedayee. I would like to sincerely thank him and his exceptional team.
I had a cheek, forehead and central lip lift surgery at the doctor’s office on March 8, 2024. I can say that after two weeks, his work was a masterpiece. Surgery with Dr. Fadaei was the greatest favor I did for myself. Strong support team. They were available at any time of the day or night. Overall, his ethics and behavior with the patient were the best and I am a thousand times satisfied.
I introduced a patient from England to him. He is very skilled and experienced in facial plastic surgery and my patient is very happy with the results.
