Breast Uplift Surgery & Consultation
Also Known as "Mastopexy".
Quite commonly, women find that they have saggy breasts after weight loss, pregnancy or breast-feeding. The breasts may be pendulous as a result of a relaxation of the ligaments. The actual size may be fine but the breasts have lost their volume and tone or the nipples may point downward. This can cause embarrassment.
What's Involved?
The surgeon will carefully remove a small section of excess skin from each breast to lift the bust line, the result will give the patient's bust a much more youthful appearance with "perkier" looking breasts. If there is also a loss of volume, then an implant can be used to create a nice profile.
The scar for a standard mastopexy is often placed around the nipple, from the nipples to the natural crease under the breast and then along the crease of the breast. All surgery results in a scar and all scars take time to soften and fade. The scar is usually red and raised for the first month or two after your operation . You will not see the final appearance of your scar until up to a year after surgery.
All breast surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and will require an overnight stay in hospital. An elastic bandage over a gauze dressing must be worn after surgery
