Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy): Restore Firmness, Shape & Confidence
Breast Lift Surgery: What Is a Mastopexy?
A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, and gravity can cause the breasts to lose firmness and elasticity.
Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift does not significantly change breast size, but it dramatically improves breast position, contour, nipple height, and overall symmetry.
At Dr. Nazareth Papazian’s clinic, breast lift surgery is customized to each patient’s anatomy, goals, and lifestyle to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Breast Lift With or Without Implants

Are Breast Lift Results Permanent?

Pregnancy and major weight changes may affect long-term results.

Breast Lift FAQs
Does a breast lift increase size?
No. A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts. Volume increase requires implants or fat transfer.
Will there be scars?
Scars are strategically placed and fade significantly over time with proper care.
Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?
In most cases, breastfeeding remains possible, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Is breast lift surgery painful?
Discomfort is usually mild to moderate and well-controlled with prescribed medication.
How long do results last?
Results typically last many years. Aging and gravity continue, but breasts remain more youthful than before surgery.
Can breast lift be combined with other surgeries?
Yes. Common combinations include breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck (mommy makeover).
