Breast lift – Mastopexy

Indication

Over time, your breasts may begin to sag and lose their youthful shape. Whether it is due to genetic predisposition, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, breastfeeding or the ageing process, in all cases the skin mantle is too large to keep the existing volume of breast glandular and fatty tissue in a youthful shape.

Treatment

Breast shaping

With a breast lift (mastopexy), the deeper tissue can be brought into a more beautiful shape, the nipples at the correct height and the excess skin removed.

Incisions

The incision must be determined individually. However, I try to keep the incisions as small as possible without compromising on scar quality and breast shape.

Volume replacement

Sometimes it makes sense not only to tighten and reshape, but also to replace lost volume with autologous fat or implants (augmentation mastopexy). This usually also achieves a better shape and volume in the upper pole and cleavage area.

Result

A lift without scars is impossible. Generally, incision lenghtening for an improved breast shape is preferable.

Compression garment

A compression bra is worn during the healing phase to support good scar healing.

Ability to breastfeed

Breastfeeding is normally still possible after a breast lift. However, as the ability to breastfeed depends on many other factors anyway, this cannot be guaranteed.

Breast cancer screening

Breast cancer screening examinations are not affected if sufficient radiological expertise is available. A breast lift gives you the opportunity to restore your feminine figure.
