What is a Breast Uplift?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and uplifted appearance. It does not significantly change breast volume but can be combined with implants or reduction for a more comprehensive transformation.

At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, we tailor each breast lift to suit your individual body shape, goals, and skin elasticity. Whether your breasts have changed after pregnancy, weight loss, or ageing, a breast lift can help restore your natural contours.

During your consultation, one of our experienced surgeons will assess your needs and create a bespoke surgical plan.

What Happens During Surgery?

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. Your surgeon will make discreet incisions (commonly around the areola and vertically down the breast) to remove excess skin, reshape breast tissue, and reposition the nipple to a higher, more natural position.

If required, the size of the areola can also be reduced. No breast volume is added or removed unless you opt for combined augmentation or reduction surgery.

The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches, and a supportive dressing or bra is applied. Most patients return home the same day.

Is It Right for Me?

A breast lift may be suitable for you if you:

  • Have breasts that have lost shape or volume due to age, pregnancy, or weight loss
  • Experience sagging or downward-pointing nipples
  • Are at a stable weight and not planning further pregnancies soon

Your suitability will be confirmed after a thorough assessment with one of our surgeons.

  • Restored breast shape and firmness
  • More youthful and uplifted appearance
  • Improved symmetry and nipple position
  • Can be combined with implants or reduction for enhanced results

As with all surgeries, breast lift procedures carry some risks. These may include:

  • Swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness
  • Scarring (usually fades over time and can be improved with care)
  • Changes in nipple sensitivity
  • Uneven shape or delayed wound healing (rare)

Your surgeon will explain all risks and answer your questions during the consultation.

FAQ's

No. A breast lift improves shape and firmness but does not add volume. If you’re seeking fuller breasts, you may wish to combine the lift with implants.

Yes, but our surgeons use techniques to place scars in the least visible areas. Scars generally fade over time and are supported with aftercare advice.

Results can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and avoid smoking. Natural ageing and future pregnancies may affect the result.

Breastfeeding may still be possible, but this can vary. Your surgeon will discuss this with you based on your anatomy and surgical technique.
