Breast Lift

This is an operation that can lift and reshape sagging breasts. The procedure usually involves removing skin from an area below the nipple and reshaping the breast. Sometimes a breast lift can be combined with an augmentation to lift and enlarge breasts. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia (you will sleep through it) and will take about 2-3 hours. You will probably stay in hospital overnight and will need to arrange for someone else to drive you home the next day.
Your breasts may be bruised and swollen for several days and you may need to take some medication for pain relief. You may need to wear a special support bra after surgery. You will probably be able to return to work after about 1 week. It will take several months for the scars to fade.
