Breast Uplift Surgery

Mastopexy

This procedure suits women whose breasts may be pendulous as a result of a relaxation of the ligaments due to weight loss, age or having children. The actual size may be fine but the breasts have lost their volume and tone or the nipples may point downward.  However, if extra volume is required then a breast uplift procedure may be combined with implants for the best overall result. 

 
 

Uplift Surgery

The surgeon will carefully remove a small section of excess skin from each breast to lift the bustline. The result will give the patient's bust a much more youthful appearance.

faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

 

Q: How do I know if surgery is right for me?

Your surgeon will to tell you which form of breast surgery is most suitable for you and will help you understand the risks. Only you can decide whether the operation is right for you. Your surgeon will help you achieve your aim. Although no surgeon can give a guarantee, cosmetic surgery should not be scheduled unless there is a good chance you will be pleased with the result. The final decision remains one that only you can make. The exact method of surgery is determined by the amount of loose skin you have in the breast.

 

Q: Where is the scar going to be?

The scar for a standard mastopexy is often placed around the nipple, from the nipple to the natural crease under the breast and then along the crease of the breast. Various methods may use different scars. All surgery requires a scar and all scars take time to soften and fade. You will not see the final appearance of your scar until up to a year after surgery. The scar is usually red and raised for the first month or two after your operation.

 

Q: Who makes a good candidate for a breast uplift?

Women with small, saggy breasts will benefit the most from a breast lift. If the breasts are too large, gravity may make the breasts sag again. If you are planning more children in the future then you should postpone surgery as pregnancy may stretch the breasts again and counteract the results.

Q: Will I need to have implants inserted during my breast lift?

When too much volume has been lost to achieve a full breast shape an implant will be necessary. In some cases a breast enlargement is performed at the same time to increase the overall size of the bust.

 

Q: Will I be able to breast feed after a breast uplift?

No, in most cases the milk ducts are cut when the breasts are being repositioned during the operation, preventing breast feeding in the future.
