Before considering breast lift surgery, or ‘Mastopexy’ as it is medically known, it is essential that you really look at why you are considering having it done. You may choose to undergo breast lift surgery for a variety of reasons, and your situation will be looked at individually by the professionals involved. The main reason for wanting this type of procedure is due to an aesthetically unpleasant sagging of the breasts. This can be caused by:

  • Genetics
  • Pregnancy
  • Breast-feeding
  • Hormones
  • Weight loss
  • Ageing process

Whatever the cause, the result is a relaxation of the ligaments in your breasts. Although many women choose to undergo a breast enhancement or reduction at the same time as breast lift surgery, if you are looking to change the size of your breasts, then this surgery alone is not for you. If reshaping of the breasts is what you are looking for, you are in the right place. Another reason for considering breast lift surgery may be the desire for firmer or more defined breasts or it could be that the nipple points downwards and is not centred and you wish this to be corrected.


It can sometimes be the case that your motives and expectations of undergoing a procedure are unrealistic and do not match the technical capabilities associated with surgery. You must be clear what your reasons are for having this surgery. For example, a patient may think that they need larger breasts because of underlying emotional issues, when in fact they simply need to build their confidence or increase self-esteem, which can be achieved without surgery.

Ultimately, only you will know the reasons for wanting this surgery but if you are realistic about the benefits of breast lift surgery, have researched this area well, chosen a skilled surgeon whom you can trust and have still arrived at the conclusion that this surgery will be beneficial to you, the consultation process will be quicker and in a matter of weeks you could be reaping the rewards of cosmetic breast lift surgery.
