Mammaplasty - breast uplift/with enlargement

Who Is It For?

Firm, well-shaped breasts are not only a feature of youth. Over time, many women experience breast sagging due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, or natural ageing. The breasts may lose volume, firmness, and their natural position.

A breast uplift (mastopexy) is designed for women who are unhappy with:

• Drooping or sagging breasts
• Loss of breast shape and firmness
• Stretched skin and lowered nipples
• Asymmetry or volume loss after breastfeeding or weight loss

If there is still enough natural breast tissue, a breast lift alone can restore a youthful shape.
If volume has significantly decreased, the procedure can be combined with breast augmentation using implants for fuller and more defined results.

Breast Uplift with Enlargement

For patients who wish to not only lift but also increase breast volume, a breast uplift with implants is the ideal solution.

This combined procedure:

• Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts
• Restores lost volume in the upper breast (upper pole fullness)
• Improves overall breast contour and symmetry
• Provides a more youthful and fuller appearance

It is particularly suitable after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss, when both sagging and volume loss are present.

How Is It Done?

The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 2–3 hours.

During the procedure:

• Incisions are made around the areola, vertically downwards, and sometimes along the natural breast crease
• Excess skin is removed
• The breast tissue is reshaped and lifted
• The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful height
• If implants are used, they are usually placed under the breast tissue or partially under the muscle, depending on the individual case

The surgical technique is always tailored to achieve the most natural and long-lasting result.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients usually stay 1 night at the clinic for monitoring.

Recovery includes:

• A follow-up check and dressing change 2–3 days after surgery
• Wearing a compression bra for several weeks
• A recommended rest period of 10–14 days

To ensure optimal healing:

• Avoid sleeping on your side in the early phase
• Limit arm movements and avoid heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks
• Refrain from sports and strenuous activity during recovery
• Avoid swimming pools, saunas, and baths for at least 6–8 weeks to reduce infection risk

Most patients can return to light daily activities within two weeks, with final results becoming visible over the following months as swelling subsides.

Back to Normal Life

Following a smooth and uneventful recovery, most patients can return to work and light daily activities within 2–3 weeks after surgery.

• Normal non-strenuous activities can be resumed gradually
• Exercise and more demanding physical activity are usually safe after 6–8 weeks
• Final healing and settling of the breasts continue over the following months

Every recovery is individual, and your surgeon will provide personalised recommendations based on your progress.

Results

A breast uplift delivers firmer, lifted, and naturally shaped breasts with improved position and symmetry.

• Scars are a natural part of the procedure but are placed carefully and fade significantly over time
• When combined with implants, the result also includes restored volume and enhanced cleavage
• The final outcome becomes more visible as swelling subsides and tissues settle

With proper care, the results are long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing.

Additional Options

To further enhance the aesthetic outcome, the procedure may include:

• Areola reduction – resizing enlarged areolae for a more balanced and youthful appearance
• Correction of asymmetry or other individual concerns

These adjustments help achieve a proportionate and refined final result.

Preoperative Recommendation

Before undergoing surgery, it is recommended to have a breast ultrasound or mammogram, depending on your age and medical history.

This examination:

• Ensures breast health and safety
• Helps the surgeon plan the procedure more precisely
