Mastopexy in the
Eastern Suburbs
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. It is designed to address ptosis (sagging) that can occur with ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes.
Dr Konrat tailors each breast lift to the patient's degree of ptosis, breast shape, and skin quality. During your consultation at the Bondi Junction clinic, she will explain which technique — whether a periareolar, vertical, or anchor lift — may be appropriate for your anatomy.
Breast lift surgery is planned according to your anatomy, skin quality, and the scar pattern likely to be required. Visit the main breast lift page for a comprehensive overview of techniques and candidacy.
Risks & Complications
All surgical procedures carry risks. Potential risks and complications of Mastopexy (Breast Lift) are outlined below and will also be discussed in detail during consultation.
For broader information about surgical risk, visit the General Risks and Complications page.
Reasons Patients Consider
Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Breast Ptosis (Sagging)
Breasts that have dropped below the inframammary fold or nipples that point downward. Sagging may be mild, moderate, or significant.
Post-Pregnancy Changes
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can stretch the breast skin and reduce volume, causing the breasts to lose their previous shape and position.
Weight Fluctuations
Significant weight loss can leave excess breast skin. A mastopexy addresses the skin envelope without necessarily changing breast volume.
Ageing-Related Changes
Natural loss of skin elasticity over time leads to gradual drooping. Many patients in the Eastern Suburbs consult Dr Konrat for age-related breast changes.
Your Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Process
Consultation at Bondi Junction
Attend your consultation at Suite 402, 59-75 Grafton Street with a GP referral. Dr Konrat will assess your breast shape, skin quality, and degree of ptosis. The surgical plan and technique are discussed in detail. A mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Stop smoking at least 6 weeks prior. Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications for 2 weeks. Purchase a supportive post-surgical bra and arrange 2–4 weeks off work.
Surgery Day
Mastopexy is performed under general anaesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The procedure typically takes 2–3 hours, drains are commonly placed, and removed tissue is sent to pathology.
Follow-Up at the Clinic
Post-operative appointments are held at the Bondi Junction clinic. Dr Konrat monitors wound healing, manages any concerns, and provides guidance on when to resume activities.
What to Expect
After Surgery
Breast lift recovery requires patience. Swelling, bruising, and tightness across the chest are normal in the early weeks. Dr Konrat provides comprehensive aftercare instructions at the Bondi Junction clinic.
Rest & Initial Healing
Rest at home with your upper body elevated. Wear the surgical support bra at all times. Swelling and bruising are expected. Pain medication will be prescribed.
Light Activities Resume
Most patients can return to desk-based work within 2 weeks. Avoid lifting more than a few kilograms. Attend your follow-up appointment at the Bondi Junction clinic.
Gradual Return to Exercise
Gentle walking can begin earlier, but gym workouts and upper body exercise should wait until Dr Konrat advises — typically around 4–6 weeks post-surgery.
Scars Mature & Shape Settles
Breast shape continues to settle over several months. Scars gradually fade from pink to pale. Sun protection over scar sites is recommended during this period.
Important: Contact the clinic immediately if you experience excessive bleeding, severe pain, or signs of infection. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided before and after your procedure.
Preparing for Your Consultation
- Bring your GP referral letter
- Prepare a list of medications, supplements, or medical conditions
- Write down any questions you would like to ask Dr Konrat
- Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment
