BREAST LIFT
A woman’s breasts often change over time, losing their shape, firmness and elasticity. There are various causes for these kinds of breast changes, including heredity, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, breastfeeding, gravity, etc.
A breast lift rejuvenates a woman’s figure with a breast profile that is more uplifted.
During a breast lift surgery (also known as mastopexy), excess skin is removed while the surrounding tissue is tightened in order to reshape and support the new breast contour. Breasts become fuller in the upper portion, having a firmer and youthful appearance.
A breast lift procedure can be performed on a woman’s breasts whether they’re large or small, as size doesn’t matter. However, plastic surgery techniques used to reshape breast tissue may vary, depending on individual case.

As noted above, breast lift procedures vary depending on the case. Our experienced plastic surgeons always apply strict medical protocols in order to determine the most suitable cosmetic surgery technique for each patient and achieve the best outcome.
Depending on the case, incisions might be made around the areolae (the area surrounding the nipples), horizontally (along the breast creases) or extending downward from the areolae to the breast creases. All surgical procedures consist of removing part of the breast skin, moving the nipple upward and reshaping the remaining tissue into a higher configuration. If an increase in size is desired as well, the procedure could be combined with the insertion of breast implants.
Breast lift surgery is performed under a “light” general anesthetic, in order to ensure both maximal operating conditions and patient safety and comfort. The surgical procedure typically lasts 1,5 – 2,5 hours. Usually, the patient can go home on the same day.
Ptosis or saggy breasts are the most common reason for a breast lift. Thus, if you have noticed an observable change in the volume, shape, firmness or elasticity of your breasts (especially following weight loss, pregnancy, or nursing), you may be a good candidate.
As with all surgeries, we follow specific medical protocols, e.g. we review the patient’s medical history, we analyse the results of any mammograms or breast biopsies, we conduct physical exams, medical tests, etc.
During your initial consultation, you will have the chance to talk about any concerns you may have with our experienced surgeon.
Breast lift procedures vary depending on the case and they’ re are particular to each patient. Usually, the cut lies around the upper part of the nipple areola or around the areola. However, there are cases that the incision should reach downward vertically or horizontally beneath the breast, in order to achieve the best results.
Recovery time may vary substantially depending on the surgery method used, on the amount of skin removed, and on whether or not an augmentation was included in the procedure. As a result, some women could be able to return to their work in 2 days, while others might need up to 14 days after their procedure.
Generally, a woman should rest as much as possible for the first week, and then gradually increase her activities. For the first 2 weeks she should avoid some movements (lying on her abdomen, avoid raising her arms over her head, etc.). She should also avoid any strenuous exercising or heavy lifting for some time.
