Patients can typically have a breast uplift performed and go home the same day, with occasionally an overnight stay required.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic where the patient is put to sleep.

The incision most commonly is around the nipple, extends straight down to the breast crease and then runs in this crease to both the inside and outside of the chest.

Occasionally, patients may have a tube inserted to drain away fluid after surgery. The wounds are dressed to ensure the nipples can be checked for blood supply.

After surgery, the patient is placed into medical-grade compression bras to support the breasts.

Typically patients have had a child or children how are exclusively breastfeeding (Late 20’s, early 30’s) or as they have got older noticed the droopiness (mid 40’s).

The volume in the breast may be good in a bra, but out of it, the breast looks hollower at the top and the nipple is nearer the bottom of the breast and pointing downward.

When clients come into the clinic, our UK trained plastic surgeon with expert knowledge makes a full assessment.

The surgeon establishes reasons sought for surgery and what the client hopes to achieve as an end result.
As a part of the assessment process, the surgeon will establish the amount of available breast tissue & skin and the type of lift each individual patient would benefit from.

Measurements are taken to provide a more specific approach to planning and surgery. 

This helps us to provide a more scientific approach that can help the patients visualise the final effect.

It is important for the patient to be appropriately counselled to understand the whole process including surgery and recovery process after surgery. 

Patients are given at least 2 weeks to make a considered decision and only once both patient and surgeons, are happy does the patient proceed to surgery.
