Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)

A breast uplift gives the breasts a more fuller shape.

Every woman will have a different reason for the surgery. It is important you discuss your thoughts with the consultant prior to any procedure and ask any questions you may have, careful consideration must be given to this procedure.

At The Sefton Suite your consultant will make a small incision on each breast and through that remove any excess skin and tissue to re shape the breasts and finally tighten the surrounding skin. To make the breast look as natural as possible your consultant will then re-position the nipple.

In many cases the breast uplift is used in conjunction with breast implants to achieve the best possible results. Scarring is minimal in this procedure and will fade over time.

Most patients will be able to return home the following day after the operation. You are advised to take a week off work to allow the tenderness and numbness to ease off and avoid any strenuous activity for a minimum of three weeks.

The discomfort can be eased with painkillers and you should discuss this with your consultant.

If you are paying for your own treatment all costs will be discussed and explained prior to any treatment taking place. This will be confirmed in writing along with any surgeon fees, anaesthetist fees and hospital charges prior to admission.
