Breast Lift Brisbane – Mastopexy

A breast lift (mastopexy) can:

• Restore a youthful shape by tightening skin and elevating the nipple and breast contour.
• Improve firmness by addressing skin laxity.
• Improve symmetry in breast shape and nipple positioning.
• Reduce sagging caused by aging, gravity, pregnancy, or weight loss.

• Noticeable loss of firmness or sagging.
• Nipples positioned below the breast crease.
• Post-pregnancy or significant weight loss.
• Age-related changes in breast shape.
• Individuals with realistic expectations about shape enhancement rather than size change.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding with mastopexy surgery, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

• Periareolar/Circular Lift: Incision around the areola – ideal for mild sagging, minimal scarring.
• Lollipop Lift: Incision around the areola and vertically down the breast – suitable for moderate to severe sagging with noticeable reshaping.
• Anchor Lift: Incision around the areola, down the breast, and along the crease – best for significant sagging and dramatic reshaping.

The technique chosen depends on your anatomy and the degree of sagging.

Most breast lifts are single-session procedures, though minor revision surgery may occasionally be recommended to refine results.

An immediate improvement in breast position will be visible after surgery. Final results develop over a few months as swelling settles and tissues heal.

Individual results may vary. Outcomes depend on a range of factors including your anatomy, healing response, and adherence to post-operative care instructions.

Results are long-lasting, but future aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations can alter outcomes. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve results.

Expect some discomfort for 3–7 days. Pain is typically manageable with over-the-counter medication. Avoid strenuous activity for at least 6 weeks.

The recovery process after a breast lift varies for each patient. In the initial stages, you may experience some tightness in your breasts, along with bruising and swelling. These symptoms are common and typically improve within a few weeks. During this time, wearing a supportive bra is essential to aid in the healing process.

Dr. Davarpanah and Dr. Bangash will give you specific instructions on how to care for your incisions. It’s important to follow these guidelines, which may include avoiding activities such as sleeping on your stomach or lifting heavy objects.

The average cost ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, depending on the technique, surgeon, and any additional procedures. Discuss a personalised quote with breast and plastic surgeons, Dr. Bangash or Dr. Davarpanah, during your consultation.

Yes, a breast lift can be performed in conjunction with breast reduction. While a breast lift focuses on reshaping and lifting the breasts, breast reduction specifically targets decreasing breast size. This combination can cater to different patient needs and outcomes, providing both a lift and a reduction in size.

Scars are inevitable, but they typically fade over time. The extent of scarring will depend on the technique used and can be managed with proper post-operative care.

Two weeks off work is recommended after mastopexy surgery. Light activity may resume after two weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise for at least six weeks.

It is important to follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to support optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications. Individual results and recovery times will vary.

You can drive after two weeks or once you have full arm mobility and can safely react in an emergency.

While many women can still breastfeed after a lift, there is a risk that the surgery could affect milk production. It’s important to discuss your plans for future pregnancies with your surgeon.
