What is Breast Lift?
Breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful height. The result is firmer, perkier breasts with improved projection — without changing their natural size.
How Does Breast Lift Work?
- 1Video consultation with breast assessment to determine the degree of ptosis (sagging) and the ideal incision pattern
- 2Under general anaesthesia, the surgeon marks and makes incisions — typically a lollipop (vertical) or anchor pattern depending on the degree of lift needed
- 3Excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped and tightened internally, and the nipple-areola is repositioned higher
- 4Incisions are closed in layers with dissolvable deep sutures and fine external stitches
- 5A surgical support bra is applied and you are monitored in a private room before transferring to the hotel
Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Lift?
- Women with sagging breasts due to ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Patients whose nipples point downward or fall below the inframammary fold
- Those who are happy with their breast volume but want a lifted, firmer shape
- Individuals with stretched areolae who want them resized
- Non-smokers in good general health with stable body weight
Why Choose Breast Lift at MedProper?
Restored Shape & Position
The nipple-areola is lifted to the ideal height and the breast mound is reshaped for a naturally youthful contour.
Minimal Incision Approach
Whenever possible, the surgeon uses a vertical (lollipop) incision to minimise scarring while still achieving a significant lift.
JCI + TEMOS Hospital
Your surgery takes place in a JCI- and TEMOS-accredited hospital with international-standard care and full monitoring.
All-Inclusive Package
The €3,612 package covers surgery, hospital stay, surgical bra, hotel, transfers, medications, and 12-month aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions
A lift alone does not significantly change volume — it reshapes and raises the breast. If you want more fullness, a lift can be combined with implants. If you want to reduce size, it can be combined with reduction.
The most common pattern is a lollipop incision (around the areola and a vertical line down). In cases of severe sagging, an anchor incision adds a short horizontal line in the inframammary fold. Scars fade significantly over 6-12 months.
In most cases, yes. The techniques used preserve the milk ducts and nipple blood supply. However, if you plan to breastfeed, discuss this during your consultation.
Results are long-lasting, but gravity and ageing will continue to affect the breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras help preserve the lift.
The package includes the surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, hospital stay, surgical support bra, post-op medications, 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, and 12 months of remote follow-up.
