Breast Lift

In today's society, the firm, pert female breast symbolises youth, health and vitality. However, with age, weight loss or childbirth, a woman's breasts may lose their shape and tone, so that the breast tissues begin to sag and eventually the nipples point downwards.

A breast lift or mastopexy can improve the appearance of the breasts in several ways. It raises the breast tissue, repositions the nipple and areola (the brownish area around the nipple), and enhances breast shape. If the areola have been stretched over time, they can also be reduced in size. Women who undergo a breast lift may also seek to increase the size of their breasts with a breast implant.

Breast lift surgery is usually performed under a general anaesthetic. The operation takes between 1½ and 3½ hours and usually doesn’t require an overnight stay. Some people may then be up and about in a day or two, but you shouldn’t plan on returning to (non-strenuous) work for around one to two weeks after surgery.

Private costs for a breast lift can range from approximately £4,500 - £5,500.

Please note that all clinics offering cosmetic surgery should be registered with the Healthcare Commission, as they need to follow certain standards for the safe provision of cosmetic surgery and receive regular inspections to ensure that National Minimum Standards are met.
