Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Restoring breast shape and position without changing volume.
"Mastopexy restores firm shape and correct position to the breast by removing excess stretched skin. It is indicated for ptosis — sagging following pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss or ageing. Mastopexy is a form of breast surgery and can be combined with an implant when lost volume also needs restoring. The extent of the procedure is determined by plastic surgeon Maruf Muradovich at consultation."
Your journey
Consultation
Assessment of breast ptosis grade, skin quality, and nipple position. Surgical technique selected.
Marking
Pre-operative markings define the new nipple position and skin to be removed.
Surgery
Excess skin removed, breast tissue reshaped, nipple repositioned to natural height.
Recovery
Supportive bra worn 6 weeks. Swelling resolves over 4–6 weeks.
Result
Final lifted shape visible at 3 months. Scars continue to fade for 12–18 months.
Rehabilitation
Hospital
Monitoring, dressing changes, pain relief.
At home
Supportive bra 24/7. Avoid raising your arms above shoulder level.
Suture removal
Review and suture removal. Scar care begins.
Activity
Return to light work. Moderate physical activity.
Result
The shape stabilises and scars fade.
Scar progression
How the scar changes — from surgery to final result
Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.
Suture removal
The scar is pink-red and slightly raised. Scar care begins — silicone gel or tape.
Active healing
Colour darkens to deep pink. The scar may thicken — this is normal. Avoid sun exposure and wear compression garments.
Maturation
The scar lightens, softens, and flattens. Itching and heightened sensitivity fade.
Final appearance
The scar takes on a silvery-beige tone and becomes barely visible, aligning with underwear lines.
