BREAST LIFT

BEAUTY COMES IN ALL SHAPES

A breast lift, or mastopexy as it’s also known, works to reshape and uplift sagging breasts. There are different reasons for sagging breasts, such as hormonal changes, breastfeeding and weight loss. You may find breasts have lost their volume and shape as you age. Surgery can lift the breasts into a more natural position and restore volume.

THE PROCESS

Breast lift surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia and the length of the surgery is approximately three hours. The surgeon will make a few incisions, which will fall under the three common incision types: around the areola, around the areola to vertically down from the nipple and then horizontally under the breast. The surgeon will then lift and reshape the underlying breast tissue. The nipple and areola will be repositioned, and the areola may be reshaped. Any excess skin will be removed to regain elasticity.

After the incisions are closed with stitches, the remaining skin will be tightened. If you also want your breast to look smaller or fuller, it is possible to combine the breast lift with an augmentation or reduction.

After a breast lift surgery, you will need to stay overnight at the clinic. Your breasts will be covered with bandages or gauze dressing and there may be some drainage tubes in place, which will be removed once your surgeon is satisfied with your progress. You will be given medication for any discomfort and antibiotics to avoid infections.

Dr. di Mauro and his team will be on-hand to talk you through every aspect of the surgery, aftercare and your expected results.

    THE PROCESS

    HOW IT WORKS
    Black line - Pietro Di Mauro

    THE CONSULTATION

    The initial consultation will assess suitability for surgery and, if patients decide to go ahead, they will be told about possible risks and side effects associated with a breast lift. Patients consult with their surgeon as to whether they want implants too.

    THE SURGERY

    Surgery takes approximately three hours and patients recover over night at our clinic. Patients are closely monitored, as with any breast surgery, and a post-surgery recovery plan is created.

    POST SURGERY RECOVERY

    As with any breast surgery, patients must be very careful to avoid any impact to the chest and to avoid heavy lifting for a number of weeks. Patients with small children may need extra help during recovery time. Patients will have appointments with their surgeon and any minor adjustments to the nipple position can be made.

    AFTERCARE

    Following your breast lift surgery, you will need to wear a post-surgical bra, 24-hours a day to support and protect your new breasts. Recovery typically takes around 4-6 weeks and you can usually return to work a week or two after the surgery, depending on the nature of your work. Every patient is different, all of your concerns will be addressed by Dr. di Mauro’s team and you will receive a follow-up plan suited your specific needs.

    Before you leave the clinic, we will give you information and advice on how to make the best recovery and an emergency phone number that you can call any time of the day. A week or two later you should make an appointment with your surgeon to check on your recovery and stitches.

    We advise our patients to take it easy when they get home; plenty of rest, drinking plenty of water and eating well to fully recover.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    A breast lift (or mastopexy) is a method of improving the shape and volume distribution of the breast. This type of cosmetic surgery procedure is worth considering for those whose breasts have started sagging due, possibly due to aging, extreme weight-loss or maybe after breastfeeding. It is possible to create a more youthful shape by removing excess skin, repositioning or reshaping the nipple and balancing uneven breasts.

    The process of rejuvenating your breasts via a breast lift involves removing the excess skin causing the breast to sag or droop. This could be due to age, overly large and heavy breasts, weight-loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding. The surrounding tissue is then tightened to create a more youthful shape. If necessary, the size, shape and position of the areola can be reduced and or repositioned in proportion with the more youthful contour of the newly shaped breast. The surgery takes around 3 hours and you will spend one night in our clinic, where you will be monitored. Before you go home, we will provide you with your personalised post-surgery recovery plan. Recovery from a breast lift is expected to take between 4-6 weeks.

    Yes, a breast lift is often included as a part of a mommy makeover, along with a combination of other rejuvenating procedures such as a breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction and intimate surgery.  These cosmetic surgery procedures can help to create a smoother more streamline silhouette to correct the changes brought about by pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
