Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Without Implants.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess skin to lift and reshape the breasts. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, ageing, and weight loss can all result in significant changes to women’s breasts. This procedure may suit women who are happy with the volume of their breasts but wish to adjust their shape or reposition the nipple higher on their breasts.
a. The excess fat and skin are removed
b. The breast is re-shaped, and the nipple is lifted
c. An anchor-shaped scar

Other Things to Consider
-
A breast lift won't change the size of your breasts. However, if done in conjunction with a breast reduction or breast augmentation, the shape and size can both be altered to achieve your desired outcome.
-
You will have scars on your breast after this surgery.
-
Some patients who meet specific criteria can have a portion of their fees covered by Medicare or their Private Health Funds. There will still be an out-of-pocket expense.
