Breast Lift in Bangkok, Thailand
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight loss can all stretch the breast tissue, which can leave women unsatisfied with the shape of their breasts.
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to restore a more youthful, perkier appearance to sagging breasts.
During the surgery, excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is reshaped to raise, reshape, and firm the breasts.
The procedure is best suited for women who are generally happy with the size of their breasts but seek to enhance their appearance for a perkier result.

Is Breast Lift Surgery Right For You?
You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if:
- You have moderate to severe sagging (ptosis) of the breasts, where the nipples and areola point downward.
- Your breasts have become flatter, elongated, or have lost their firmness due to aging, weight fluctuations, or other factors.
- One of your breasts hangs lower than the other, creating an imbalance.
- Your breasts have changed post-pregnancy and breastfeeding, often losing volume or drooping.
- Your breasts are sagging or have lost volume after significant weight loss

Breast Lift & Augmentation
a) Crescent Lift
The crescent lift technique involves using a crescent-shaped incision to remove a small amount of skin from above the areola and reattaching the ends with very fine stitches. The crescent incision pattern is typically used in cases where there is only mild sagging or drooping, and it is best suited for patients with smaller breasts.
b) Donut Lift
Donut mastopexy is an option when the breast lift is combined with breast augmentation. The technique involves removing a circular-shaped piece of skin from around the areola and closing the incision with stitches along the gap where skin has been removed. One of the main advantages of the donut lift is that the incision marks are hidden in the natural creases of the areola with no vertical scars on the breasts. Good candidates for the donut lift are women with small or medium-sized breasts with only mild breast sagging.
c) Lollipop
The most versatile of breast lift techniques, the lollipop lift involves combining an incision around the areola with a vertical incision that runs downwards from the bottom of the areola. The surgeon will then lift the nipple and the areola to their new position and close the incisions with stitches. The final result is an incision pattern in the shape of a lollipop. This approach is often favored because it produces a better appearance of the vertical scar, and it allows the surgeon to elevate the areola to a higher, more youthful-looking position. Women with mild to moderate sagging of the breasts can expect favorable outcomes with the lollipop technique.
c) Anchor lift
If you have a significant amount of breast sagging, your surgeon may recommend an anchor lift. The anchor lift is the oldest breast lift technique and it is often performed when a breast lift is combined with breast reduction.
The surgeon will make an incision around the areola and then a vertical one running downwards from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease. A third incision is made horizontally along the breast crease, with the final incision pattern forming an anchor shape. It is also known as the inverted T breast lift.
This technique produces the most amount of scarring, and therefore it’s typically recommended for women who need a more effective correction of sagging breasts compared to other, less invasive techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Breast Lift
Yes, a breast lift will leave scars, as incisions are required for the procedure. The extent and placement of these scars depend on the technique used, but they typically fade over time and can be concealed under a bra or swimsuit. Regular scar care following your surgeon’s recommendations, can further minimize their appearance.
While all surgeries come with risks, breast lift surgery, when performed by a qualified and board-certified plastic surgeon, is generally safe. As with any surgical procedure, potential complications can arise, such as infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. Contact the team at Interplast Clinic to discuss the risks and benefits with an expert plastic surgeon.
Yes, most women can breastfeed after undergoing breast lift surgery. However, the procedure has the potential to impact lactation due to effects on the nerves and ducts within the breast. A well-experienced surgeon, utilizing minimally invasive techniques to remove excess tissue and skin, ensures rapid healing and excellent results that maintain natural aesthetics.
A breast lift primarily aims to raise and reshape sagging breasts. While it doesn’t significantly reduce breast size, some tissue might be removed to achieve the desired shape, which can slightly decrease breast volume. If a reduction in size is your primary goal, then a breast reduction surgery, which removes more tissue, may be more appropriate.
The timeline for returning to work post-breast lift varies depending on the individual and the nature of their job. Generally, as long as your job is not physically demanding, you should be able to return to work within a week to 10 days. However, it’s crucial to follow the surgeon’s recommendations and listen to your body to ensure proper healing.
