A breast lift provides the opportunity to improve the shape, height, size, and position of the breasts. Additionally, the surgery can correct breast asymmetry. The shape of the breasts is influenced by the loss of skin elasticity due to aging, the effect of gravity, as well as other factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Take your confidence to a new level
A woman’s breast shape changes over time and the breasts may lose their previous shape. This is a perfectly normal part of ageing. The change usually does not cause any physical problems, but it can affect the way you feel about yourself and your body and therefore your overall confidence. Seeing your own naked body and walking around without a bra is often uncomfortable and creates insecurity.
When a woman does not feel good and comfortable in her own body, it often affects the quality of her sex life and consequently her intimate relationships. Women who have undergone breast lift surgery say that their self-confidence, appearance and mood improve. Breast lifting and correction allow women to enhance their quality of life and get rid of the insecurities that cause sadness.

WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW?
Additional information on the procedure
What is a breast lift?
Breast lift and correction, or mastopexy, is the lifting and reshaping of sunken and sagging breasts. Even low-positioned nipples are raised to a higher, more youthful position. In the case of small breasts, such as after pregnancy, there may be a desire to increase the size of the breasts. This can be done with breast implants, combining a breast lift with a breast augmentation surgery.
The ability to breastfeed may be affected by the breast lift surgery, but it largely depends on the surgical technique and this will be discussed during the consultation with your surgeon. When planning this surgery, it should be considered that pregnancy can cause the breasts to sag again. Therefore, it is wise to plan the surgery for after pregnancy.
How to prepare for surgery?
Before surgery, it is necessary to perform a mammogram or ultrasound examination of the breasts to rule out any nodules (ultrasound for those under 35 years old, mammogram for older women), as well as blood tests. Before the planned surgery, you should be in as good physical shape as possible. Smoking impairs not only general blood circulation but also microcirculation in the surgical area, so it is important to stop smoking at least one month before surgery if possible. Under no circumstances should you use aspirin or similar medications for at least 14 days before surgery (as they have a blood-thinning effect). It is advisable to discuss the use of medications and supplements with your surgeon.
You will have to refrain from active movement for at least a week after the surgery, both at work and in your personal life. If possible, ask someone (a partner, a good friend or relative) to look after you after the surgery. Be sure to discuss the post-operative care instructions carefully. It is advisable to get plenty of rest in the days leading up to the surgery so that you can go into the surgery mentally and physically prepared. If you have any further questions or concerns before the surgery, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Hospital stay
Generally, we recommend staying in the hospital for one day. The exact length of hospital stay is decided and agreed by the surgeon.
Anaesthesia
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. This means the patient will be asleep throughout the surgery.
Course of the surgery
The surgery usually takes between 1.5 to 3.5 hours. Techniques may vary. The most commonly used method is to reshape the sagging tissue, along with lifting and, if necessary, reducing the nipple. If implants are also placed, this is done without making an additional incision. The implant is placed in a pocket above or below the pectoral muscle.
Depending on the extent of sagging, different techniques are used. Depending on the method used, the scars will be located in different locations.
These can be:
– in a circle around the nipple
– around the nipple and vertically downwards
– around the nipple, vertically downwards and to the side
or in the case of more significant sagging:
– around the nipple and in an inverted T-shape
