BIO Lift™ (Breast Implant Only Lift) Sydney

A BIO Lift™ may be considered for individuals with mild to moderate breast droop (ptosis) who would like additional breast volume and prefer an option that does not involve the scarring patterns of a traditional Breast Lift (Mastopexy). Therefore, it’s essential to understand the distinction between breast droop and breast deflation.

Breast droop (ptosis) occurs when the breast tissue and skin gradually descend over time. The nipple may sit lower on the breast and, in some cases, point downward. This can happen as the skin stretches and thins, and the breast tissue becomes softer or reduces in volume, often with a portion of the tissue positioned below the breast fold. Breast droop can develop due to factors such as pregnancy, weight changes or the natural ageing process.

Breast deflation refers to a reduction in breast volume or fullness, which can result in the breasts appearing less full. In most cases, the nipple continues to point forward, and the remaining breast tissue and skin sit above the lower breast fold.

The BIO Lift™ procedure may not be suitable for individuals with significant breast droop. In such cases, other surgical options, such as a formal Breast Lift (Mastopexy) or a combined Breast Lift with implants, may be more appropriate.

Some people with mild to moderate droop may wish to avoid the scars associated with a traditional Breast Lift (Mastopexy) but want to achieve the additional fullness within a bra and clothing.  However, they accept a degree of residual droop when naked. For these individuals, a BIO Lift™ may be considered an option following consultation with Dr Dona.

If, after recovery, there is concern about some residual natural breast tissue droop and the patient wants to further alter the position of their breasts, a traditional Breast Lift (Mastopexy) may be performed at a later stage (if clinically appropriate).
