About this procedure
Performing both a lift and an implant augmentation in the same session, for breasts with both tissue ptosis and a lack of volume.
Surgical approach and technique
The implant supports the base volume while the excess ptotic skin is taken up and the nipple carried upwards.
Who is it for?
Planned after clinical examination in people whose breasts have deflated and become ptotic.
Recovery
Daily activities can be resumed within one to two weeks. Wearing a supportive bra matters.
Back to desk work: approx. 10 days. Social recovery: approx. 18 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.
