Breasts Procedures
Mastopexy (breast lift) surgery elevates the breast to a higher, more youthful position to improve the form and shape of the breast. Mastopexy may be performed on its own or combined with a breast reduction or breast augmentation.
A mastopexy may also be performed on one side to even up breasts as a result of breast asymmetry or to provide balance during breast reconstruction surgery.
This operation is carried out under a general anaesthetic at a local private hospital. The procedure is carried out as a day procedure on with one night stay in hospital.
After the operation
You will usually spend 1 night in hospital, although this can vary.
Most people get back to normal levels of activity 3 to 4 weeks after the operation. However, you need to restrict vigorous exercise such as gym work for at least 6 weeks. Your breasts should be ready for a new bra fitting after 6 weeks.
The pattern of scarring from a breast lift varies from only around the nipple, similar to a breast reduction but tend to be less extensive.
With breast lift surgery, you will have breasts with better uplift and shape.
