Breasts are primarily composed of fat tissue, lobules, and connective tissue such as collagen and elastin. These fibers are crucial for maintaining firmness and shape. Over time, the regenerative ability of these fibers decreases, causing breast sagging.
Other factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and genetics can stretch skin and ligaments, contributing to sagging. A breast lift (mastopexy) can address these changes.
Why Breast Sagging Happens and How Breast Lift Helps
Breast sagging typically begins after age 30–40 but may occur earlier. Contributing factors include:
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding 🤱: Repeated stretching of breast tissue
- Weight Changes ⚖️: Rapid gain or loss causes loose skin
- Genetics 🧬: Natural breast shape and collagen levels
- Lifestyle 🏋️♀️🚬: High-impact exercise, smoking, poor nutrition
A breast lift restores the breast to a youthful shape, lifting the nipples and firming tissue.
Signs You May Need a Breast Lift
- Downward-pointing nipples 👇
- Stretched or enlarged areolas 🔵
- Asymmetrical breasts ↔️
- Excess skin folds 🧵
Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)
Breast lift surgery corrects sagging and improves shape. During a mastopexy, the surgeon can:
- Lift breasts upward ⬆️
- Tighten breast tissue
- Reshape breasts for a rounder appearance
- Adjust areola size
- Remove excess skin
- Correct asymmetry
- Reduce or augment breast size if needed
Types of Breast Lift Incisions
- Doughnut (Periareolar): Around the areola
- Vertical (Lollipop): From areola to breast crease
- Crescent: Half-moon incision in the upper areola
Step-by-Step Breast Lift Procedure
- Patient under anesthesia
- Incisions around areola
- Vertical incision to breast crease

Scars: Hidden in natural folds; fade over time
Post-Breast Lift Care

- Wear a post-surgical bra
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise
- Maintain stable weight for best results
