The medical term for a breast lift or breast uplift surgery is Mastopexy. As women age, the ligaments that hold up the breast begin to stretch and the breast sags. Also changes such as pregnancy or large amounts of weight loss can lead to drooping breasts. Medically the breasts are not considered to be drooping unless the position of the nipple is at or below the level of the inframammary fold.

This category of surgery encompasses a large segment of breast surgery. Some patients are born with certain breast irregularities or deformities, other patients have had previous surgeries with less than optimal results. Sometimes there are issues that develop after a perfectly performed breast surgery such as capsular contracture (excessive scar tissue forming around the breast) that will later need correction.

The breasts have always been a signifier of beauty and femininity. Because they are one of the most visible and obvious physical characteristics that separate males from females, breasts frequently play a large role in a woman’s self-esteem. If a woman is unhappy with her breasts—whether due to size, shape, location, or a number of other factors—she may lack self-confidence or feel embarrassed by her appearance.
