What is Breast Uplift Surgery (Mastopexy)?
Breast uplift surgery – also known as mastopexy or breast lift – is a procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts.
The surgery involves removing excess skin and lifting breast tissue.
Women may choose this procedure to address breast sagging (ptosis) caused by ageing, weight changes, or pregnancy; to restore a more youthful breast appearance; and to improve breast symmetry and confidence.
A breast uplift can be performed in combination with a breast augmentation (implants), this is referred to as breast uplift with implants.
In England all breast uplift surgeries:
- Must be carried out by a GMC-registered doctor.
- Performed in a Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated facility.
These regulatory bodies are in place to ensure high standards of care and patient safety.

Different Types of Breast Surgeries in England
This page focuses on breast uplift surgery (mastopexy) performed under general anaesthetic. There are several ways surgeons can carry out the procedure.
Incision Pattern
Surgeons may use different incision types, including:
- Periareolar incision – around the edge of the areola
- Vertical (“lollipop”) incision – around the areola with a vertical line down to the breast fold
- Wise-pattern (“anchor”) incision – around the areola, vertically down
Nipple and Areola Repositioning
During the surgery, the nipple and areola can also be repositioned, this is typically done to create a natural, lifted appearance while maintaining blood and nerve supply.

- Breast reduction
- Breast enlargement with implants and uplift
