Breast Uplift

Breast uplift surgery (mastopexy) is an operation to re-shape your breasts to change how they look. It aims to lift them to a higher position.
It is  common and completely normal for breasts to become less firm after pregnancy and breastfeeding, or with gravity as you age. You may feel comfortable with this. But if you want to change how your breasts look, you may consider breast uplift (breast lift) surgery. You may wish to have a breast uplift on just one breast if your breasts are uneven, or on both.
Breast uplift surgery usually takes around two to three hours to complete. Your surgeon will make several cuts on your breasts. The exact number and position of the cuts will vary, depending on the technique your surgeon uses.

If you’re having a breast enlargement at the same time, your surgeon will insert a breast implant. This will help to give fullness to the upper part of your breast. Your surgeon will place the implant directly under your breast tissue or behind your chest muscle.

When the operation is finished, your surgeon will close the cuts with stitches or skin-closure strips. They may wrap your breasts in a supportive dressing or use tape for support.

After breast uplift surgery, you’ll need to rest until the anaesthetic has worn off. You’ll be offered pain relief to help with any discomfort you have. You may have thin tubes running out from the wound to drain excess fluid into a bag or bottle. These will be removed when the fluid or blood has stopped draining, usually before you go home.
