A breast lift—also known as mastopexy—is a surgical procedure that lifts, reshapes, and repositions the breast for a more youthful and elevated silhouette. It is ideal for women whose breasts have lost firmness or begun to sag due to aging, weight changes, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

At Meadowlark Surgical Centre & Cosmetic Clinic in Edmonton, breast lifts are performed by board-certified Plastic Surgeons in a private, fully accredited surgical setting.

Every procedure is tailored to your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and stage of life—guided by our collaborative approach to care.

You may be a candidate for breast lift surgery if:

• You are satisfied with your breast size but wish to correct sagging

• Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease

• You’ve experienced changes in breast shape due to pregnancy, nursing, or weight loss

• Your breasts are asymmetrical in shape or position

Breast lifts can be performed at various ages, but surgery is best considered once breast development has fully matured.

Your Plastic Surgeon and Cosmetic Team will help you determine timing, technique, and any additional enhancements that may be recommended (such as augmentation or liposuction).

A breast lift typically involves removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more natural, elevated position. The most common incision pattern includes:

• A circular incision around the areola

• A vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease

• A horizontal incision along the natural curve beneath the breast (when needed)

Our surgical team will personalize the incision approach to suit your anatomy and desired outcome. In some cases, liposuction to the underarm area is performed in conjunction to improve contour and reduce lateral fullness.

What to Expect After Surgery:

• Most patients return to light activity or work within 7–10 days

• Swelling, tightness, and temporary changes in sensation are normal

• Results will gradually refine as tissues settle and scars heal

• Final results may take several months to fully reveal

You’ll receive a personalized recovery plan that includes both medical and cosmetic care, ensuring optimal healing and long-term support.

Collaborative Recovery & Scar Care

At Meadowlark, your recovery is supported not only by your surgeon—but by a full team of Cosmetic Nurses and Laser Specialists. Together, we offer advanced strategies for healing, including:

• Pre-operative skin conditioning to support elasticity

• Medical-grade scar topicals to soften, fade, and flatten incision lines

• Laser scar treatments (including Sciton BBL, Halo, and MicroLaserPeel) to reduce discolouration and refine texture

• Long-term skincare plans to support results and confidence

Scars are an expected part of breast lift surgery, but with the right care, they can fade beautifully and become far less visible over time.

Our surgical and cosmetic teams work closely to deliver outcomes that look natural, feel balanced, and heal beautifully. If you're considering a breast lift, we invite you to book a consultation with one of our Plastic Surgeons and explore your options for refinement, symmetry, and self-confidence.
