It’s common and natural for breasts to lose firmness over time due to factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or the effects of gravity as you age. While some individuals may feel comfortable with these changes, others may desire a different appearance for their breasts. In such cases, our breast uplift surgery can help you. Whether you seek to address asymmetry with a lift on one breast or enhance both, breast uplift surgery offers a solution to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
Breast uplift or otherwise known as ‘Mastopexy’ is a procedure that lifts and reshapes the breast to create a pert, uplifted profile. Some women find that their breasts lose shape following childbirth, weight loss or as part of the ageing process. Breast uplift surgery can be an extremely effective method when it comes to achieving the breasts you want and for many women, breast uplift surgery can offer a way to regain their body confidence. At Medisculpt, our Breast uplift surgery can also be combined with breast augmentation surgery to give you fuller breasts and correct their position on the body.
Our Breast Uplift procedure is especially common for women after childbirth, weight loss and it can be performed as a standalone procedure in combination with breast implants. It reshapes the breasts and improves the shape and position of the chest. Some scarring will be visible post-surgery, but with time they do fade, and our clients are very pleased with the results that can be obtained!

Breast uplift surgery restores the shape and firmness of the breasts, addressing sagging and drooping to achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance.
By lifting the breasts to a higher position on the chest, breast uplift surgery can improve overall body proportions and enhance the contour of the breasts, contributing to a more balanced and harmonious silhouette.
Achieving a more lifted and youthful breast appearance can significantly boost self-confidence and body image, allowing individuals to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
With proper care and maintenance, the results of breast uplift surgery are typically long-lasting, providing enduring improvements to the shape and position of the breasts for many years to come.
During the Breast Uplift procedure, our surgeon, Dr Helena Antoniadou, will make incisions in the fold under the breasts and remove pleats of surplus skin. The breast tissue is then remodelled into a tighter cone and the nipples repositioned to a higher level at the points of the tightened breasts. If the breasts are small, the fullness can be increased by inserting a small implant!
During your Breast Uplift procedures, you and your surgeon, Dr Helena Antoniadou, will discuss the procedure, the journey process and all the details in between. For our Breast Uplift surgery, we use eneral anaesthesia. Overall, there will be no discomfort for you during the procedure, and it will reduce any riks of remembering any pain from the surgery. Ultimately, the most uncomfortable part of the surgery you will feel is the the moment the anaesthesia IV or injection is inserted.
