Breast Lift and Breast Tightening Surgery
A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a firmer, more youthful appearance and improving their position and contours.
Breast sagging, also known as breast ptosis, can occur as a result of natural aging, pregnancy and breastfeeding, significant weight loss, hormonal changes associated with menopause, or changes following hormone therapy.
Preparation: Understanding Your Goals for the Best Possible Results
If you are considering breast lift surgery, a detailed consultation and physical examination are essential to understanding your expectations and determining the most suitable approach.
During your initial consultation with our surgeon, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, available treatment options, and the different surgical techniques that may be appropriate for your individual needs.
Our surgeon will carefully assess your breast shape, skin elasticity, and overall proportions, answer your questions, and provide detailed information about the procedure, potential risks, and expected recovery.
Surgical Technique: What You Need to Know
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes approximately 2 to 4 hours.
During the procedure, excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipples and areolas are repositioned to a higher, more natural position.
This helps create a firmer, lifted, and more proportionate breast appearance.
Several breast lift techniques are available, and the most suitable method is selected during your preoperative consultation based on the degree of sagging, breast size, skin quality, and your desired results.
At Clinic Olymp, our surgeons focus on achieving balanced breast proportions and symmetry while carefully planning incisions to minimize visible scarring wherever possible.
For patients who would also like to increase breast volume or restore fullness, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants.
The combination of these procedures is evaluated individually to determine whether it is appropriate and safe for each patient.
Recovery and Precautions
Following breast lift surgery, patients typically remain at our clinic under professional medical supervision for approximately 24 to 48 hours.
Once your condition is stable, you will be discharged with detailed instructions for home recovery and postoperative care.
A specialized supportive or compression bra, provided by our clinic, should generally be worn for approximately one month, or as recommended by your surgeon.
During the first one to two weeks after surgery, you may experience varying degrees of discomfort, swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Pain can usually be managed with medication prescribed or recommended by our medical team.
If non-absorbable sutures are used, they are typically removed approximately 10 to 14 days after surgery.
Once the incisions have healed sufficiently, your surgeon may recommend specialized scar care products to help improve the appearance of surgical scars.
Temporary changes in nipple sensation, including reduced sensitivity or numbness, may occur following the procedure. Sensation often improves gradually over time, although permanent changes are possible.
Most patients can return to light daily activities within approximately 10 to 14 days, depending on their individual recovery.
Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and sports should generally be avoided for the first 6 weeks, or until your surgeon confirms that it is safe to resume them.
When returning to sports activities, wearing a supportive sports bra is recommended to provide additional comfort and breast support.
As with any surgical procedure, breast lift surgery carries potential risks, including bleeding, infection, delayed wound healing, asymmetry, scarring, and changes in nipple sensation. Our medical team will discuss these risks with you and provide personalized postoperative guidance.
