What is Breast Lift Surgery?

Mastopexy, also known as breast lift surgery, is a very popular cosmetic breast augmentation procedure. The procedure involves correcting the breast shape by lifting and repositioning the breast. Many people opt for this procedure to correct sagging breasts due to a number of natural factors or to correct previous augmentation results.

Reasons for Breast Lift Surgery

Breast Lift surgery is a very popular procedure. Many people choose to undergo the cosmetic procedure due to:

Confidence issues
Age
Wanting a more youthful appearance
changes to breasts due to pregnancy and breastfeeding

Breast Lifts can also help to alleviate any pain in the neck and back due to the weight of the breast and the sagging of them which puts pressure on your back. A breast lift will help to lift the breasts and reduce the amount of discomfort.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a minor surgery on my leg done by Dr. Bashir, and I can’t recommend him enough.  He’s incredibly kind, gracious and immediately puts you at ease.  Highly skilled, knowledgeable and charismatic to boot - he made the whole process as “enjoyable” as surgery can be.  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had some medically necessary work done by Dr. Bashir and he is an amazing surgeon with an incredible bedside manner. He is humble, intelligent, a scholar and a gentleman. His skills are truly spectacular and his knowledge is top notch. He always has a smile and he will put you at ease when you see him. He explains everything he's planning on doing and executes his plan accordingly. He's an excellent communicator and was extremely patient with me. We are very lucky to have him in Vancouver and without a doubt, I would highly recommend him.

Update: Saw Dr. Bashir for my post-op work and again, he was exceptional in his bedside manner. He was happy with the work he did and the healing taking place. Asked him a few questions and he was, again, his patience was evident. His skill as a surgeon is just truly amazing but more so he is truly a good person.

Update #2: I saw Dr. Bashir for the final time to finish off the post-op checkup. One word comes to mind when describing Dr. Bashir: humility. The good doctor his not only intelligent, smart, competent, and caring but he exemplifies humility. I am sincerely humbled by the fact that I was referred to Dr. Bashir and I stand by my previous words to describe him. We are extremely lucky to have him here and without a doubt, I would and have recommended Dr. Bashir.

I recently had nose reconstruction surgeries after an Mohs surgery and are very happy with the results and did not have any complications.

Kavita answered my millions of questions with a smile and was on the ball and Dr. Bashir  did good work, re-assuring me and making it a very pleasant experience. Now I  just can't get addicted to getting work done :P

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Bashir operated on one of my family members, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Thankfully, Dr. Bashir encountered the cancer once before in his career, a testament to his experience. The surgery (we waited just weeks for availability) was successful and the cancer was removed. Dr. Bashir was thorough and sent matter for laboratory analysis in case microscopic amounts remained. At his office he was kind and answered questions in detail. We are grateful for his professionalism and skill.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly could not be happier with my results! I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bashir and the results are even better than I imagined. I am extremely particular about my body and did my research for this surgery I had been wanting for ten years. When I finally met Dr. Bashir I knew instantly that it was going to be a good fit. He understood exactly what I wanted and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I would 100000% do this surgery over again and choose Dr. Bashir every time! Recovery was easy and he made what could have been a nerve racking experience actually exciting and enjoyable. Could not possible have gone any better than it did. I definitely recommend using him! He’s AMAZING!!!!!

Dr Bashir was my surgeon and not only did he do a fantastic job but he was professional, polite, kind, addressed concerns I had, and made me feel comfortable. 10/10 would go to him again and recommend him to my friends and family should they need a surgeon with his skill set

Frequently Asked Questions

When choosing a cosmetic procedure, it is important to research the treatment and ensure the treatment is done by a professional and is medically qualified. Please read the most frequently asked questions many patients have when choosing a procedure.

Mastopexy surgery can take up to 2 hours to be performed and you will likely be under general anaesthetic. During the procedure incisions will be made and excess skin will be removed, and breast tissue will be reshaped. Once reshaped your nipple will be lifted higher to fit the new breast size and shape.

The type of incision depends on what it best for your situation and results. Incisions can be made around the areola or may include incisions vertically or horizontally across the breast crease.

Following breast lift surgery, you will likely remain in hospital overnight. The breasts will be swollen, and tender following the surgery and will remain swollen during the first few weeks of recovery. Over time the numbness and tenderness will subside as they begin to heal.

You will be advised to take painkillers to help manage the pain. During recovery you should wear compression garments to help with the swelling and you should avoid any strenuous activities including heavy lifting.

Recovery is expected to take up to 6 weeks before you will feel comfortable returning to most daily activities. Full results can take up to 6 months to be seen but may take longer.

Breast Lift Surgery is a safe procedure and safe to perform when performed by a registered medical professional. There are always risks with plastic surgery which is why it is important to make your surgeon aware of any health conditions. Not following proper aftercare is a big risk as you may slow down the healing process.

During a consultation you will be informed of all the risks associated with the surgery and what should look out for during the recovery process. Common side effects include swelling inside the breast, change in breast sensation, infection and excess bleeding and numbness or pain.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, repositions the nipple and reshapes the breast so it sits higher and firmer on the chest. It does not significantly change breast size. If a patient wants more volume, a lift can be combined with implants or fat transfer, but the lift itself focuses on contour and position rather than size.

Good candidates are generally in good overall health, have sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, weight changes, or genetics, and are committed to the recovery process. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve and understand that this is a reshaping procedure, not a size increase by itself.

Changes in nipple sensation can occur after a breast lift; some patients experience temporary changes, and in rare cases these can be permanent. A breast lift can also affect breastfeeding ability, though many patients are still able to breastfeed afterward. It’s important to discuss these possibilities during your consultation.
