During a breast lift also known as a mastopexy, excess skin is removed, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a firmer and more lifted contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher position, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance. This procedure does not significantly change breast size but focuses on enhancing shape and elevation.

Some mastopexies are performed for women who desire the removal of their breast implants while maintaining the appearance of fullness in their breasts. It's important to note that this procedure can also be undertaken whether you've had implants previously or not.
