Breast Lift: The Methods

During a breast lift, excess skin is removed very superficially—so that blood vessels and nerves are not damaged—and the breast is lifted. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped and repositioned higher up—along with the nipple, nerves, and blood vessels. There are several surgical methods and techniques for a breast lift. Our surgeon will determine which one is right for you during a preliminary consultation, based on the size and condition of your breasts.

Breast Lift with Implants

A breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation. This is usually necessary when there has been a loss of volume—in other words, your breasts lack the volume needed to achieve the desired shape and size. In this case, the breast lift is supplemented with implants.

After a Breast Lift: Healing, Scars, Exercise

As with any surgery, our guiding principle here is: as few scars as possible. It’s not possible to perform a surgical breast lift without any scars, since incisions will always be necessary. However, we strive to place the incisions in such a way that scarring is kept to a minimum and any scars can be easily concealed.

After the surgery, you will need to wear a special support bra for about 6–8 weeks and should avoid heat and direct sunlight. After about 2 weeks, you can resume light exercise, and starting in the 4th week after your breast lift, you can resume your regular fitness routine.
