Overview
Over time, factors such as ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and gravity can cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. Our team is dedicated to helping you restore a more youthful, uplifted breast contour through personalised mastopexy, or breast lift, surgery.
Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This surgery addresses sagging and restores the breasts to a higher, more youthful position, enhancing both the appearance and self-confidence of our patients.
Benefits
Restored Breast Shape: Achieve a firmer, more youthful breast contour.
Enhanced Nipple Position: Reposition the nipples to a more natural and aesthetically pleasing location.
Improved Symmetry: Correct asymmetries to achieve a balanced breast appearance.
Boosted Confidence: Feel more confident and comfortable in your appearance and clothing choices.
Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy a long-term solution to sagging breasts, with results that enhance your overall silhouette.
Understanding Mastopexy Techniques and Scars
Techniques: There are several mastopexy techniques, each tailored to the patient’s specific needs and the degree of lift required:
Anchor or Inverted-T Lift: Involves an incision around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease, ideal for significant sagging.
Lollipop or Vertical Lift: Involves an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, suitable for moderate sagging.
Doughnut or Periareolar Lift: Involves an incision around the areola, ideal for mild sagging and minimal scarring.
Scars: While scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure, our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimise scarring and place incisions in discreet locations. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and scar management.
Nipple Position: During the breast lift, the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more natural location. The size of the areola may also be reduced to create a more proportionate appearance. Our surgeons take great care to maintain the blood and nerve supply to preserve nipple sensation.
Recovery Process
Recovery from breast lift surgery varies for each individual, but general guidelines include:
Initial Recovery: Most patients take 1-2 weeks off from work and normal activities to rest and heal.
Wearing a Support Bra: A surgical bra or support garment is recommended to minimize swelling and support the breasts during the healing process.
Managing Discomfort: Pain and discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications. Swelling and bruising are common but subside over time.
Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups are necessary to monitor healing and remove sutures if needed.
Resuming Activities: Light activities can be resumed after a few weeks, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.
Scar Care: Specific instructions on scar care will be provided to promote healing and minimize scar appearance.
