My Approach

A breast lift, or mastopexy, restores the natural shape and position of the breasts and nipples when skin and tissues have stretched or drooped over time.

My approach focuses, as much as possible, on reshaping your own breast tissue - achieving lift and fullness without implants and their inherent risks of capsular contracture, malposition, and BIA-ALCL, whenever suitable.

This method, known medically as auto-augmentation mastopexy, uses your own tissue to recreate both projection and volume - similar in effect to having an implant, but completely natural. It provides a soft, balanced contour while maintaining the feel and proportions of your body.

Planning & Technique

In suitable patients, I perform a preservation-based breast lift using dermoglandular flaps, which maintain blood supply and the structural integrity of the breast. This allows breast tissue to be repositioned internally to provide volume and support - think of it as an implant made of your own tissue.

Because the existing tissue is reshaped rather than removed, results often feel more natural and can be longer-lasting than implant-based lifts. However, not all patients are ideal candidates; those with significant laxity or limited glandular volume may still benefit from combining a lift with an implant.

For patients who have had previous implant removal, this approach can also serve as a reconstructive option, restoring shape without introducing foreign material.

Recovery & Expectations

Most patients return to desk work within a week and can resume light exercise after four to six weeks. Support garments are recommended during recovery to help maintain shape as the tissues settle.

The final breast contour refines over several months as swelling resolves and the internal tissue “auto-augmentation” matures. Scars resemble an upside-down lollipop, but are placed carefully along natural curves and usually fade well over time.

Complementary Procedures

A natural breast lift can be performed alone or combined with other body-contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty or brachioplasty for overall reshaping after pregnancy or weight loss.

Studies have shown that although such combined procedures may extend operating time, they remain safe to perform in a Day Surgery setting (Archives of Clinical Surgery, 2024)

Post-operative care extends beyond routine reviews - it is an integral part of Dr Ng’s surgical philosophy. Through Doctor Stitch, an aftercare service founded to ensure seamless continuity and comfort, every patient is followed up personally by Dr Ng. Whether at home or in clinic, he provides attentive, discreet, and consistent care throughout the recovery journey.
