Breast Uplift

Drooping of the breasts (ptosis) is a normal consequence of ageing and is due to the effects of gravity. However, it can also occur in a young woman after pregnancy or weight loss. When this happens, a woman may feel that she has aged prematurely. To reverse these changes an uplift procedure may be necessary. This cosmetic surgery does not change the size of your breasts. It changes their shape and position (especially the position of the nipple) to give them a firmer more youthful appearance. For most women, the scars after surgery are similar to those following breast reduction. In some cases they can be more limited - for example to the area just around the nipple. Occasionally, an uplift procedure may be combined with breast enlargement using an implant because the breasts may have become very small and droopy after pregnancy or weight loss. This surgery requires a general anaesthetic and a one night stay in hospital.
