Restore Natural Shape with Dr Stefano Cotrufo

Breast Lift London (Mastopexy)

Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is a transformative procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts, restoring firmness and a more youthful position. Age, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and genetics can all lead to breast drooping (ptosis), but mastopexy offers a safe and effective solution to restore balance and projection without necessarily increasing size. With over 15 years of experience, Dr Stefano Cotrufo is a board-certified plastic surgeon known for delivering natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal scarring.

Achieve a lifted, youthful breast contour with expert breast lift surgery in London by Harley Street surgeon Dr Stefano Cotrufo

A breast lift repositions the breasts higher on the chest wall and reshapes them for improved firmness and symmetry. It involves removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissue, and, if needed, resizing or repositioning the nipple-areola complex. This procedure is ideal for women whose breasts have lost shape or volume over time, or who feel self-conscious about sagging.

At Dr Cotrufo’s plastic surgery clinic breast lift can be performed on its own or combined with:

Silicone implants (augmentation mastopexy) either round or anatomical
Internal bra: this is a cutting-edge technology which is based on using a dissolving mesh to support the lower pole of the breast for a longer-lasting result.
Fat injection: Dr Cotrufo published his first 50 cases of fat injection to the breast in 2008 in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal.
Any combination of the above.

Dr Cotrufo begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your needs and expectations. He’ll assess your breast anatomy, skin quality, and goals, then recommend the best technique.

How long is the recovery?
