Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

As we age, skin elasticity changes, and breast position may also change after pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or breastfeeding. A breast lift consultation considers anatomy, expectations, scar placement, and recovery.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy) at Dr. Maresky's practice typically ranges from R90,000 to R130,000, depending on your specific needs and goals. Final pricing is always confirmed during your consultation, once Dr. Maresky has assessed your individual case.

Factors that influence the cost:

• Degree of ptosis
• Incision type
• Combined with augmentation

The consultation is an independent clinical assessment. Final costs are confirmed before any treatment is scheduled.

A breast lift allows women to achieve contours by elevating sagging breasts and giving them a perkier, more youthful projection. Many women choose to have a breast lift along with a breast augmentation to achieve a fully youthful look.

The recovery period varies for each patient. During your first few weeks, you should also avoid bending, and lifting anything; vigorous exercise is completely off-limits within the first 3 to 4 weeks. If dissolvable stitches were not used, regular stitches are removed in various stages. To minimize swelling, a compression garment is worn post surgery. Drainage tubes are placed and will remove excess fluid during the first few days. The total healing time can be anything from 7 weeks to 10 weeks dependant on the type of surgery performed.

Most patients see immediate improvement in breast position, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over 3-6 months.
