A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes and elevates the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue. This can alter breast contour and firmness while maintaining a natural appearance. The nipple-areola complex is also repositioned for improved balance and proportion.
While a breast lift does not add volume, it can create a more rounded appearance. For those also considering increasing the volume, breast augmentation can be performed in combination with a lift when appropriate.
Changes in breast shape and position can occur over time due to factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and the natural aging process. A breast lift is designed to refine breast position and contour based on individual needs and goals.
Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality care, offering thorough preoperative consultations and attentive post-operative support to ensure a professional and patient-centred experience.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and results vary between individuals. It is important to consider all options carefully and seek professional medical advice before proceeding.
General risks & complications that are common to all procedures can be foundĀ here.
Specific risks and complications of a breast lift may include:
- Changes in breast or nipple sensation, which may be temporary or permanent.
- Numbness in some areas, can either resolve over time or be long-lasting.
- Breast asymmetry, where the breasts may not appear even.
- Unusually firm breasts, which may feel harder than expected.
- Partial or complete loss of the nipple or areola, though this is rare.
- Fat necrosis, where fatty tissue under the skin dies, potentially forming hard lumps.
- The possibility of additional surgery, to address complications.
