Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast uplift surgery , is a procedure that firms and lifts the breasts to restore the former, fuller appearance of your bust line. Breasts of any size can be lifted, and many women have a breast lift because pregnancy and breast feeding have left them with stretched skin and less volume in their breasts. The surgery does not increase the size of your breasts, but it is commonly done at the same time as a breast augmentation when a bigger bust is desired, so that not only the firmness but also the volume of your breasts will be increased.

Breast Lift Procedure?

There are a few techniques that are used in breast lift surgery. Depending on the extend of lift necessary, the incisions will be placed either around the nipple only, combined with a vertical incision running from the bottom edge of the nipple to the crease under the breast, and occasionally a third incision will be necessary which is horizontal from beneath the breast and follows the natural curve of the breast crease. Sensation is kept because the nipples and areolas remain attached to underlying mounds of tissue, which also allows the ability to breast-feed.

How long does breast lift surgery take?

Breast lift is an operation that usually takes 2 hours to complete using a general anaesthetic and normally as a day case. An overnight stay at one of the affiliated private clinics can be arranged.

What can I expect from a Mastopexy?

Patients are pleased with the outcome and find they have a feeling of increased self-confidence. Your breasts will be firmer as they were in your twenties. The overall achievement will be having a completely natural look that compliments your figure.

What will happen in the recovery period ?

Following the operation you will have a light dressing in place with a supporting bra which will need to be worn for 4 weeks. The scars will be firm and pink for at least six weeks and may remain the same size for several months and it is important to keep in mind that they may take up to 1 year to fade.

What is the recovery time ?

This will depend on the individual patient however most patients are able to go back to work after a week. Although you can walk about and do very light activities from the next day it is advisable not to do anything strenuous for 7-10 days. The average recovery time is between 1-2 weeks.
