What is Breast Uplift?
Breast uplift, medically known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address sagging or drooping breasts and restore a more youthful and lifted appearance. This surgery is particularly sought after by women who may have experienced changes in their breast shape and position due to factors such as ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics.
The primary goal of a breast uplift with Mr. Allen Rezai is to improve the breast contour by removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more aesthetically pleasing level and restoring a natural, more youthful look. This helps achieve a firmer and lifted appearance, enhancing the overall symmetry and proportion of the breasts.
Best Candidates for Breast Uplift
The ideal candidates for breast uplift, or mastopexy, are women who maintain good overall health and possess realistic expectations regarding the surgical outcome. Many individuals who are pursuing the expertise of Mr. Allen Rezai experience sagging or drooping breasts, often accompanied by nipples pointing downward, and seek to rejuvenate the appearance of their breasts for a more youthful and perky contour. Candidates should be non-smokers, as smoking can impede the healing process and increase the risk of complications. Additionally, stability in weight is crucial, as significant fluctuations can impact the long-term results of the procedure. This surgery is best suited for those who are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, willing to follow postoperative care instructions, and have honest and open communication with their plastic surgeon to ensure that mastopexy aligns with their aesthetic goals and overall well-being.
Indications for Breast Uplift
The decision to undergo a breast uplift should be made after careful consideration of personal goals, expectations, and consultation with a fully qualified plastic surgeon. Here are the indications for considering a breast uplift:
• Sagging or Drooping Breasts:
One of the primary indications for a breast uplift is the presence of sagging or drooping breasts. Factors such as ageing, gravity, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can lead to a loss of skin elasticity and breast tissue firmness. A breast uplift is designed to lift and reshape the breasts, restoring a more youthful and perky contour.
• Nipple Position:
Women whose nipples point downward or are positioned below the natural breast crease may benefit from a breast uplift. This procedure involves repositioning the nipples to a higher location on the breast mound, creating a more attractive and natural appearance.
• Asymmetry:
Breast asymmetry, where one breast is lower or larger than the other, is another indication for a breast uplift. The surgery can help achieve better symmetry by reshaping and lifting both breasts to create a more harmonious and balanced look.
• Post-Pregnancy Changes:
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to changes in breast shape and volume. Many women experience stretched skin and a loss of breast firmness after these life events. A breast uplift can be considered to address these changes and restore the breasts to a more youthful appearance.
• Weight Loss:
Significant weight loss, whether through lifestyle changes or bariatric surgery, can result in changes to breast shape and sagging. A breast uplift can help reshape the breasts and remove excess skin, providing a more proportionate and lifted appearance.
• Ageing:
The natural ageing process can contribute to changes in breast tissue, including a loss of elasticity and firmness. As a result, breasts may sag or lose their youthful contour. A breast uplift is a common solution to counteract the effects of ageing on breast appearance.
• Desire for Aesthetic Improvement:
Some women may seek a breast uplift purely for aesthetic reasons. They may feel dissatisfied with the current shape and position of their breasts and wish to enhance their overall breast contour for personal reasons.
Surgical Techniques Used in Breast Uplift
Breast uplift surgery, or mastopexy, employs various techniques to address sagging or drooping breasts and achieve a more lifted and aesthetically pleasing breast contour. The choice of technique depends on factors such as the degree of breast ptosis (sagging), the patient’s anatomy, and their desired outcome. Here are three common techniques used in breast uplift surgery:
1. Anchor (Inverted-T) Incision:
- Incision Pattern: This technique involves creating an anchor-shaped incision. The incision is made around the areola, vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease.
- Applicability: The anchor incision is suitable for cases of significant breast ptosis and allows for extensive reshaping and lifting of the breast tissue.
- Benefits: This technique provides the surgeon with greater flexibility in removing excess skin and reshaping the breast, making it suitable for more complex cases. However, it does result in a more extensive scar pattern.
2. Lollipop (Vertical) Incision:
- Incision Pattern: The lollipop incision involves creating an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, resembling the shape of a lollipop.
- Applicability: This technique is suitable for cases of mild to moderate breast ptosis and provides a more limited scar pattern compared to the anchor incision.
- Benefits: The lollipop incision allows for reshaping and lifting of the breast while minimising scarring. It is often chosen when the degree of ptosis is moderate, and less extensive reshaping is required.
3. Donut (Peri-areolar) Incision:
- Incision Pattern: The donut incision involves creating a circular incision around the areola.
- Applicability: This technique is suitable for mild cases of breast ptosis and is often chosen when the lift needed is minimal.
- Benefits: The donut incision results in minimal scarring, as it is confined to the natural circular shade and perimeter of the areola. However, it may not be suitable for cases requiring more extensive lifting and reshaping.
Customisation is Key: Every woman’s body is unique, and so are her aesthetic goals. Mr. Allen Rezai’s approach to breast uplift is highly personalised, considering your individual anatomy, lifestyle, and desired outcome.

Breast Uplift Surgery Process
The breast uplift surgery process is a carefully orchestrated procedure aimed at restoring youthful contours and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the breasts. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, eliminating sagging features and reshaping the breast tissue for the desired contour. For those desiring added volume, breast augmentation is an option through breast implant insertion, this procedure is called Augmented Mastopexy.
The operation takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes and the majority of the patients stay in the hospital for one night. Mr. Allen Rezai will personally see you prior your discharge and see you again for your first follow-up check within 7 days following your surgery.
What To Expect After Breast Uplift
The recovery phase following breast uplift surgery is a crucial period where attentive care plays a vital role in achieving optimal results. Patients should anticipate some degree of swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area, which are natural responses to the surgical intervention. Adherence to post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon is paramount for a smooth and successful recovery journey. It is common for patients to be advised to wear a surgical bra or compression garment during this period. These supportive garments not only aid in minimising swelling but also provide essential support to the breasts as they adapt to their newly lifted contours.
To facilitate a gradual and safe recovery, patients are typically recommended to abstain from strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few weeks. This precaution is crucial in allowing the body sufficient time to heal without undue stress on the treated area. Resuming normal daily activities should be approached gradually, following the guidance provided by the surgeon. The step-by-step resumption of activities ensures that the healing process is not compromised, allowing the patient to regain their routine comfortably.
Throughout the recovery period, open communication with the surgeon and attending follow-up appointments are instrumental. These appointments provide an opportunity for the surgeon to monitor the progress of healing, address any concerns, and offer guidance on the next steps in the recovery journey. By conscientiously adhering to post-operative instructions and actively participating in the recovery process, patients can look forward to unveiling the full, renewed, and lifted appearance of their breasts, ultimately enhancing both physical and emotional well-being.
