Breast Lift and Correction

Many women notice that their breasts have lost their firmness and shape after pregnancy. The higher the number of pregnancies, the more noticeable the changes in the elasticity and shape of the breasts. Naturally, large breasts may also lose their firmness in time.

Breast lifting is surgery that corrects the shape and elasticity of breasts without any considerable changes to their size. The effect of the surgery resembles that of a well fitting bra, only the result is achieved with your own breast tissue, which will be remodelled as necessary and the nipple lifted to a suitable height.

Breast lifting may be combined with breast enlargement with implants if requested by the patient and if required to achieve a better shape.

About the surgery

This surgery is performed under general anaesthetic. We will check the sensitivity of the patient before choosing a method of anaesthesia. The most suitable method will be determined by the physician-anaesthesiologist in our clinic during your pre-surgery interview.

ECG, venous blood and urine test results must be submitted to the anaesthesiologist prior to the general anaesthetic. If necessary, the tests will be organised by our clinic.

You will have to wear bandages for about 2 weeks after your post-surgery check-up. It is extremely important that you wear a special support bra for 3 - 4 months after surgery.
