Dr. Bernier performs Mastopexy, also known as Breast Lift. It is a surgical procedure that consists in reducing ptosis (sagging of the breast caused by stretched skin). The surgery may be coupled with breast augmentation in cases where the ptosis is due to a massive loss of breast tissue. Mastopexy elevates the nipple and areola, giving back the breast its former shape and firmness.

The type of incisions determine the amount of skin to be removed (Figure 2). Once the excess skin has been removed, it is detached from the mammary gland. The gland is then attached to the pectoral muscle with permanent sutures. The nipple and areola are then repositioned (Figure 3).

The example below (see Figures 2 and 3) is a demonstration of the anchor-shaped incision
Depending on the technique used, the shape of the scar will be:

| Technique | Ptosis | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Periareolar (around areola) | I ½ | Short scar |
|
| I Form | II |
|
|
| Anchor-shaped | II III-a III-b |

Usually, after one year the scars will hardly be visible. Mastoplexy is performed under general or local anaesthesia and the surgery lasts approximately three hours
Convalescence takes 10 to 14 days.
