What is mastopexy?

Mastopexy corrects sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue. It can be combined with breast volume reduction or augmentation, depending on each patient’s needs. This procedure is ideal for restoring youthful, shapely breasts, without the need for implants.

Benefits of mastopexy:

  • Firmer, younger-looking breasts: Enhance the breasts for a more harmonious silhouette.
  • No change in volume: No added volume, just a more natural shape.
  • Long-lasting results: Results are visible immediately and gradually improve over several months.

This procedure is particularly recommended for :

  • Breast ptosis due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.
  • Sagging skin and sagging breasts.
  • Breast asymmetry.
  • The desire to regain curvaceous breasts without increasing volume.
