Breast Lift Sydney
Breast lift, or mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape breasts which sag.
This was a 2 stage operation where the first operation had a smaller implants. 6 months later had an upsize to 550cc
Left 425cc and Right 475cc
This patient had a scarless lift using left 340cc and right 360cc demi implants
This patient had a staged lift and implant
Lift, followed by a 380cc implant 6 months later
Breasts ptosis, also known as breast droop or sagging, happens not only due to ageing, but more importantly as a result of changes in the volume of the breast caused by pregnancy and subsequent breast feeding. This leads to stretching of the collagen fibres, whose role is to retain the structure and support.

| Desired Results: | Women in Sydney come in with several reasons for wanting a breast lift and implant. The results are generally similar or for the same kind of reasons. |
Traditional Breast Lift
The breast lift, also known as the mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise the breasts and remove sagginess or drooping. This is done by removing excess skin to tighten the surrounding tissue and support a better contour. It's common for the internal tissue to be reshaped as well.
However, there are some risks associated, these include:
- Surgical risks such as bleeding or infection
- Seroma accumulation under the breast. This fluid may need to be drained under ultrasound guidance.
- Visible and prominent scars including keloid and hypertrophic scars
- Temporary or permanent areas of numbness around the scars
- Changes in breast and nipple sensation
- Asymmetry of the breasts
- Partial or total loss of nipple and areola
- Need for further surgery to treat complications
- Revision surgery to correct any unevenness between the two sides
Dr Moradi will always provide relevant and important information for breast procedures based off the results and aesthetics you want to achieve.
Scarless Breast Lift
In comparison to a traditional breast lift (and the tradition lift incision technique used), with a scarless breast lift, there are no incisions around the nipple or around the breast. Rather in the crease and using the characteristics of the implant; both augmenting the volume of the breast, as well as lifting the lower pole of the breast.
Procedure Candidacy
Now, a scarless breast lift is not for everybody. I think the two most important things to understand is that patients expectations with scarless breast lift surgery is never going to get a high perky result. It's all about the breast dimensions as well. So who is a candidate for it?
Generally speaking, you need the nipple at or above the crease if the nipple is below the crease. Probably not a candidate for a scarless breast lift and if you go breast volume below the crease, it has to be minimal volume. You can't have heavy breasts below the crease.
NOTE: if you need a lift, you need a lift. A scarless breast lift won't help you.
Important Patient Factors:
1) Expectations: You can't expect a perky "fake-looking" result. The results are always the more "natural" look.
2) Breast bio-dimensions: The nipple needs to sit at or above the breast crease and there mustn't be heavy breast tissue below the crease just loose skin.
The tissue below the crease needs to be predominantly skin and not glandular breast tissue. It is impossible for the implant to lift heavy glandular tissue but entirely achievable to lift loose light skin.

What are the potential risks and complications of a breast lift?
Some possible complications and risks specific to breast lift surgery include:
- Surgical risks such as bleeding or infection
- Seroma accumulation under the breast. This fluid may need to be drained under ultrasound guidance.
- Visible and prominent scars including keloid and hypertrophic scars
- Swelling and bruising around the breasts which takes two to three months to settle
- Fat necrosis of the breast. This is a result of poor blood supply to the fat cells. These show themselves as small firm lumps.
- Changes in breast and nipple sensation
- Temporary or permanent areas of numbness around the scars
- Asymmetry of the breasts
- Partial or total loss of nipple and areola
- Need for further surgery to treat complications
- Revisional surgery to correct any unevenness between the two sides
- A blood clot in the legs (DVT), which can move to the lungs and may be life threatening

rnrnSome surgeons may advise you are limited to only anatomical implants when undergoing scarless breast lift surgery. This is simply not true. Dr Moradi can carefully select a Motiva Ergonomix implant that aims to help create the same shape and results as an anatomical (teardrop) implant. In this instance, the breast implant volume will be needed to help reinflate the breast tissue following breastfeeding.rnrn rnrnThe most common profile used is the Moderate Plus/Demi profile.
