Breast lifting (mastopexy)

Many women suffer from sagging breasts after pregnancy, aging or slimming.
A breast lift can be considered when the breasts have sagged and/or when the positioning of the nipples is too low. The nipples will be repositioned to the correct height. This almost always results in a scar around the areola. A large nipple can be simultaneously reduced in size removing any excess skin under the nipple. A new technique can be employed whereby the pectoral muscle is used to reinforce the breasts. This gives a more permanent result and prevents new sagging. After surgery the breasts often appear larger because the gland has returned to its correct height and firmness.

There are different techniques, depending on the severity of the sag:

Practically

Pain

A breast lifting is usually less painful than a breast enlargement. Discomfort is therefore usually limited to a few days.

Recovery

Because of the limited discomfort, light activities and office work can usually be resumed fairly quickly. Sports and more strenuous activities may be resumed after 4 weeks, swimming and sauna only after 6 weeks.  

Risks

Risks are similar to other surgical procedures - such as infection, poor scar healing, poor absorption of subcutaneous sutures.

Aftercare

After a breast lift, a sterile pad is put in place and needs to be changed every two days, which can be done by a district nurse. After two weeks, the dressing can be removed and a healing cream used. A sports bra is best worn for 4 weeks night and day.
