Breast Lift

Breast Lift Surgery

Having breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure to change the shape of your breasts. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed and breast tissue is reshaped to raise the breasts. During a breast lift, sagging breasts are raised and reshaped by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining breast tissue and nipples when necessary.

Women with breasts that sag or have nipples that point downward can opt for a breast lift, which may help boost self-confidence. While a breast lift won’t change the size of your breasts significantly, it can generally be completed in combination with breast reduction or breast augmentation surgery. If you’re considering this procedure, it’s important to understand the breast lift price South Africa, which can vary based on your specific needs and the clinic’s expertise.

A breast lift can reduce this sagging and raise the position of your nipples and areolae, we can even reduce the size of each areola during the breast lift procedure in order to keep them in proportion with your newly shaped breasts.

The cost of a breast lift can vary from patient to patient, as the procedure is carefully tailored to individual needs. Several important factors are taken into account during surgical planning, including the type of lift required, the degree of correction needed, and whether the procedure is performed on its own or combined with another breast surgery.

Additional considerations may include the surgeon’s experience, the surgical facility, anaesthesia requirements, and the level of post-operative care recommended. Because every breast lift is uniquely planned, an accurate cost assessment can only be provided after a thorough consultation.
