What is Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a procedure to raise and reshape the breasts. It removes excess skin and lifts the breast tissue into a higher, firmer position, and can reposition the nipple as part of that.
It’s often considered after the changes that come with pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, or simply time. The important thing to understand is that a lift is about position and shape, not size.
Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?
This is the most common point of confusion, so here’s the simple version.
A breast lift raises and reshapes breasts that have dropped or lost firmness. It doesn’t add volume. A breast augmentation adds volume, usually with implants, but doesn’t lift much on its own.
Some people are best suited to one, some to the other, and in some cases the two can be combined. Which is right for you is something Dr Prochazka will talk through honestly at your consultation, based on your body and your goals.
Your Options
There’s no single way to perform a breast lift. The right approach depends on how much lift is needed, your skin and tissue, and Dr Prochazka’s clinical advice. Things you might discuss include:
The degree of lift needed, and the technique and incision pattern that suits it
Whether repositioning the nipple is part of your procedure
Whether an implant might also be considered, if you’d like size as well as lift
What’s realistic for your body
What to Expect on the Day
Your breast lift is performed in a licensed Melbourne day surgery or private hospital, with a qualified anaesthetist present. This is a deliberate safety choice, and a standard we hold to for every procedure.
You’ll be given clear instructions on how to prepare beforehand, and what to expect on the day itself, during your consultations.
Recovery
Recovery is different for everyone, and depends on the details of your procedure. In general, a breast lift involves some initial swelling and tenderness, time away from your normal routine, and a gradual return to everyday activities and exercise over the following weeks. Scars fade and settle over a longer period, often many months.
You’ll be given clear, personalised aftercare guidance, and Dr Prochazka and the team will support you throughout. Your specific recovery and any restrictions will be explained in detail at your consultation.
Risks and Considerations
It’s important to be clear. A breast lift is surgery, and like all surgery, it carries risks. No result can be guaranteed, and the benefits should be weighed carefully against the risks before you decide.
Possible risks and considerations include the general risks of surgery and anaesthesia, along with risks specific to a breast lift, such as bleeding, infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and scarring. Because a lift involves more incisions than some other breast procedures, visible scarring is an important consideration, and Dr Prochazka will be open with you about what to expect. Results can also change over time with factors like gravity, ageing, weight change and pregnancy, and some people choose or need further surgery in the future.
This isn’t the full list, and it isn’t meant to alarm you. It’s meant to be honest. Every risk relevant to you will be discussed fully and frankly with Dr Prochazka before you make any decision.

Common Questions
Breast augmentation is surgery, so it carries risks, and those are discussed honestly with you before any decision. At Fine, safety is supported by Dr Prochazka’s experience, procedures performed in a licensed Melbourne hospital with a qualified anaesthetist, careful patient screening, and a mandatory cooling-off period.
Yes. A breast lift involves incisions, so some scarring is expected. Scars fade and settle over many months, and Dr Prochazka will be open with you about where they’ll be and what to expect, so you can make an informed decision.
Not necessarily. A lift on its own reshapes and raises the breasts. If you’d also like more volume, an implant may be discussed as part of the same procedure. It depends entirely on your goals and Dr Prochazka’s advice.
Recovery varies and depends on your procedure. It generally involves some swelling, tenderness and time away from your routine, easing over the following weeks, with scars settling over a longer period. Your specific recovery is explained at your consultation.
Dr Tony Prochazka performs the procedure himself, in a licensed Melbourne day surgery or private hospital, with a qualified anaesthetist present.
