There are a lot of available surgical techniques based on the degree of ptosis, the areola, nipple position, breast volume, and the volume of excessive skin.

During (mastopexy) breastlift with augmentation, the surgeon makes an incision which is usually in a keyhole pattern: a circle around the areola and two incisions down the breast which will be closed to make one line. The surgeon after that repositions the nipple and areola to a higher placement and eliminates excessive skin from beneath the breast.

Closing the rest of the skin lifts the breast mound to a higher placement and reshapes the breast. No breast tissue is removed. Breast implants being position at the same time. Sutures close the incisions.
