What is Breast Uplift Surgery?

A breast uplift, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that lifts and reshapes sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and firmer appearance. Many women in Ireland opt for this surgery after pregnancy, weight loss, or the natural effects of ageing, when breasts may lose their shape and elasticity.

During the procedure, a surgeon removes excess skin and tightens the breast tissue to create a more lifted look. If desired, an uplift can be combined with breast implants for additional volume.

If you feel your breasts have lost their shape or sit lower than they used to, a breast uplift could be the boost in confidence you’re looking for.

How the Surgery Works

Breast uplift surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and usually takes 2 to 3 hours.

  • The surgeon makes careful incisions to remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue.
  • The nipple is repositioned to sit higher for a natural look.
  • If needed, breast implants can be added to enhance volume.
  • The incisions are closed with fine stitches to minimise scarring.

After surgery, you’ll be given a supportive post-surgical bra to aid healing and provide comfort.

Is Breast Uplift Right for You?

A breast uplift may be suitable if:

  • Your breasts have lost their shape or volume due to weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing.
  • Your nipples sit lower than they used to or point downwards.
  • You’re happy with your breast size but want a firmer, lifted shape.
  • You’re in good health and have realistic expectations about your results.

A free consultation with a specialist will help determine if this procedure is right for you.

  • A more youthful, firmer shape
  • Restores confidence in clothing and swimwear
  • Improves breast symmetry and positioning
  • Long-lasting results
  • No implants needed (unless desired)

As with any surgery, there are some risks, including:

  • Scarring – These will fade over time but won’t disappear completely.
  • Temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation.
  • Potential for slight asymmetry, though rare.
  • Some impact on breastfeeding ability, depending on the technique used.
  • General surgical risks, such as infection or delayed healing, though these are uncommon.

Your surgeon will discuss all risks in detail before the procedure to help you make an informed decision.
