Breast lift
A discussion about breast position, shape, and skin.
Discuss this procedure ↗A consultation is a conversation. Surgery is a separate decision.
What to understand
The purpose.
And the perspective.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, reshapes and raises the breast by addressing excess skin and tissue position. A lift and an augmentation answer different questions; your consultation should clarify which changes matter to you.
Whether surgery is appropriate depends on an individual assessment, medical history, goals, and informed discussion. No outcome is guaranteed.

Make the conversation useful
Which incision pattern would you recommend and why?
How might future pregnancy or weight changes affect the result?
Points to bring with you
Look at the whole decision.
A lift leaves permanent scars that change as they heal.
Discuss nipple sensation and the possible effect on breastfeeding.
Adding volume is a separate part of the planning conversation.
These are discussion prompts, not a complete list of risks. Ask for the proposed procedure's full consent information and an explanation of your individual risks.
Your pace. Your decision.
