BREAST LIFT

A round, firm breast is generally considered feminine and seductive: But not every woman has naturally full and firm breasts. Due to the natural aging process, pregnancy, breastfeeding and hormonal changes, the female breast can lose shape and firmness over the years. Here, the parts of the breast that determine the volume, including the areola complex, sink downwards. In extreme cases, this can lead to the visual impression of a hanging and sagging breast.

Breast lift is performed using similar techniques and principles to breast reduction. It only includes the changes made to the shape of the breast without reducing the size of the breast tissue. If necessary, the enlarged dark area around the nipple (areola) can also be reduced during the operation. The surgical technique can vary depending on the breast type and desired Vary shape.

Breast lift and breast enlargement

​

In general, in cases of first-degree sagging, in which there is no excess skin, without significant scars, breast enlargement can only be performed through the placement of a breast prosthesis.

​

For advanced grade 2 and 3 volume loss in saggy breast tissue, removing excess skin and shaping the breast tissue, a breast implant may be necessary. The procedure usually lasts two to three hours. It is carried out under general anesthesia and on an inpatient basis and requires a one-day hospital stay. Only in rare cases does the procedure take place on an outpatient basis.

The risk of complications from a breast lift is very low. If the breast lift is carried out unprofessionally, differences in size and side or inequality of the nipples can occur. Therefore, it is important to have the surgery performed by an experienced surgeon. For the first six weeks after surgery, a special support bra must be worn to support the breast and wound healing.
