A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate and reshape the breasts for a more youthful appearance. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can cause the breasts to lose their firmness and elasticity, leading to sagging or drooping.

Breast lift surgery aims to address these concerns by removing excess skin, lifting the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipples to a more aesthetically pleasing position on the chest. This procedure can restore confidence and improve the overall contour and symmetry of the breasts.

During a breast lift procedure

• We will carefully assess your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine the most suitable surgical approach.

• There are various techniques available, including the traditional anchor-shaped incision, the lollipop incision, and the periareolar incision, each tailored to address different degrees of breast ptosis (sagging).

• The chosen technique will dictate the extent of scarring, which typically fades over time, leaving behind inconspicuous marks.

• Depending on your specific needs, breast lift surgery can be performed on its own or combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation or reduction for optimal results.

Recovery from breast lift surgery

• This varies from patient to patient, but most individuals can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the days following the procedure.

• You will recieve detailed post-operative instructions to help minimize discomfort and promote proper healing. It's essential to avoid strenuous activities and follow-up with your surgeon for scheduled appointments to monitor your progress.

• As swelling subsides and incisions heal, you'll gradually see the beautiful, lifted results of your breast lift surgery, enhancing your body contours and boosting your self-confidence for years to come.

Potential Risks and Complications

• Like any surgical procedure, breast lift comes with potential risks and complications. These can include infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensation, asymmetry and problematic scarring.

• Specifically for the breast lift surgery we discuss a lot during the consultation that there is a very small risk of areola or nipple, partial or total necrosis, especially in cases with excess breast ptosis.

• Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon are crucial to monitor healing and address any concerns.

Long-Term Results

• The long-term results of breast lift can be influenced by factors such as ageing, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy.

• Regular check-ups with your plastic surgeon are recommended to ensure the ongoing health of the breast and address any changes or concerns.
