Breast Uplift

The objective of breast uplift surgery or mastopexy is to produce a pert, firmer and more youthful breast shape that is in proportion with the rest of your body. It can help women overcome the concern and embarrassment of drooping pendulous breasts which can occur following pregnancy, loss of weight and ageing.

The procedure involves lifting the breast tissue and the nipple to a higher level, along with tightening the skin to reshape the breasts and achieve a more youthful profile.

Your consultants will give you impartial advice and have a thorough discussion with you on the nature of the surgery, your suitability for it and the type of uplift procedure that can produce the optimum result in your case. You will be fully informed about the implications of having such surgery including the pattern of scarring and any possible short-term or long-term complications.

The procedure is normally carried out under general anaesthesia, and takes approximately two hours to perform. You will stay overnight in hospital and probably need between one to two weeks off work. The final decision to have surgery is your own personal choice.
