Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

An operation that carries ptotic breast tissue and a descended nipple back to the height at which they anatomically belong.

Surgical approach and technique

Excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is reshaped within itself. The incisions are concealed around the areola or along a vertical line.

Who is it for?

Suitable for women whose nipple has fallen below the level of the inframammary crease and whose tissue is lax.

Recovery

Daily routines can be resumed within a week. Tissue healing completes over time.

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.
