Breast Lift (Day Case)

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts to create a firmer, youthful, and more proportionate appearance. The procedure addresses drooping, stretched skin, and loss of breast volume due to ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. Performed as a day case, patients can usually return home the same day after observation. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use precise techniques to restore breast contour, symmetry, and nipple position while achieving natural-looking results.

Treatment Process

A breast lift is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 2–3 hours. It includes:

Detailed assessment of breast shape, tissue quality, and desired outcome to plan incision type and lifting technique.

General anaesthesia ensures comfort and safety throughout the procedure.

Incisions are carefully placed around the areola, vertically down the breast, or along the inframammary fold depending on the lift technique. Excess skin is removed, underlying tissue is reshaped, and the nipple is repositioned to a higher, natural position.

Incisions are closed with fine sutures. Dressings or support garments are applied, and patients are monitored for a few hours before returning home the same day.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.

Quick answers to questions you may have

No. A lift repositions and reshapes the breasts. Volume can be added if combined with implants.

Incisions are placed strategically to minimise visibility, typically around the areola or along natural breast folds.

Mild discomfort is expected, which is managed with post-operative pain relief.

Initial improvement is visible after swelling reduces, with final results apparent over 4–6 weeks.

Our surgeons specialise in precise mastopexy techniques to restore natural breast shape, symmetry, and youthful contour while ensuring patient safety and comfort.
