Revision breast lift techniques

A revision rebuilds shape and support — matched to why your result changed. There's no single operation; the right combination depends on your tissue, your history and your goals.

01

Re-lift & Reshaping

The breast tissue is reshaped and repositioned to a higher, rounder form, with excess relaxed skin removed — going beyond a skin-only tightening to support the tissue itself.

02

Auto-Augmentation

Your own descended lower-pole tissue is repositioned to rebuild upper-pole fullness — adding shape without an implant and without extra weight.

03

Internal Bra / Mesh Support

A supportive mesh or your own reinforced tissue acts as an 'internal bra', offloading tension from the skin to help the correction last longer.

04

Implant Add, Exchange or Removal

Where appropriate, an implant is added for fullness, exchanged for a different size or type, or removed — always balanced against long-term shape.

05

Lower-Pole & Fold Repair

Rebuilding support in the lower breast and raising or reinforcing the crease — the core correction for bottoming out.

06

Nipple & Areola Refinement

Repositioning the nipple to a natural height and resizing a stretched areola for balance and symmetry.

07

Scar Revision

Re-excising widened or thick lift scars and re-closing them under reduced tension for a finer, better-positioned line.

08

Breast Reduction (where needed)

When heaviness is driving recurrent sagging, reducing excess weight in the breast helps the revised lift hold its shape.

Your tissue or an implant?

Restoring fullness — two routes.

Auto-augmentation uses your own descended tissue to rebuild upper-pole fullness — no implant, no added weight, better for durability, but limited by how much tissue you have. An implant adds reliable fullness and projection, but adds weight to a breast that has already shown it can stretch.

Many revisions combine your own tissue with internal support; some add a modest implant. The right route balances the fullness you want against how long the result will last.

Implants vs your own tissue
  • Reshaping & support → a stronger internal structure, not skin-only.
  • Internal bra / mesh → offloads tension for durability.
  • Lower-pole & fold repair → the core fix for bottoming out.
  • Scar revision → finer lines under reduced tension.
