Is a Breast Lift Without Implants Right for You?

A breast lift can reshape the contour of your breasts and elevate their position – but we don't use implants during a breast lift procedure. Change in shape, loss of volume, and downward pointing nipples can all result after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, age and gravity – understanding what a breast lift without implants can do can help you decide on the options best for you.

What Is a Breast Lift Without Implants?

Mastopexy, or a breast lift, is a procedure to lift and reshape the breasts. The surgeon removes excess skin, tightens the remaining tissue and raises the nipples into a new position if required – but without adding volume to the breast as you would with breast augmentation.

The objective is to build a tighter, higher-positioned breast contour utilizing the breast tissue you already have.

Who May Benefit From a Breast Lift Without Implants?

If you're worried about your breasts sagging, your nipples are below the level of your breast fold, or your breasts' shape has changed since pregnancy or weight loss. If you're happy with your bust size but want to make your breasts appear more buoyant, you might opt for this procedure.

A breast lift will not considerably enhance the size of your breasts. If you desire larger, more voluptuous breasts or to add volume to your upper breast, your surgeon may discuss the option of implants to fulfill your expectations.

What to Think About Before Surgery:

Think about your breast shape, current volume and skin quality with regard to elasticity, as well as your overall health and any risk factors. You'll want to know your post-surgery recovery and possible scar size or location.

An experienced plastic surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, discuss the various techniques and suggest one which is more suitable for you.
