Breast lift surgery at our boutique Birmingham clinic, also known as a breast uplift, mastopexy, or boob lift, is a surgical procedure which lifts and reshapes sagging or drooping breasts to create a more youthful, natural look and improved breast contour.
Breasts naturally droop with age, after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and after weight loss. This is because the skin and fibrous ligaments in the breast become stretched so the breast tissue is not supported. Mastopexy reshapes the breasts by removing extra skin, remodelling the breast tissue and moving the nipples up to the best position on the newly lifted breasts.

Our breast lift patients at our Birmingham clinic constantly express the amazing advantages of this surgery. View our breast lift testimonials here. A mastopexy can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life and improve your confidence.
Breast uplift procedures can vary depending on the size of your breasts. It usually works by making an incision on each breast. Next, the skin is raised and stitched in its new position, and excess skin can be removed and repositioned to ensure that your newly positioned breasts look as natural as possible.
If there is not enough natural breast tissue, the procedure can be combined with breast augmentation surgery, which involves inserting breast implants to add fullness.
