A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure in which the breasts are tightened and reshaped. The treatment is intended for women who want to restore their breast shape, firmness and volume, for example after pregnancy, significant weight loss or simply due to natural sagging of the skin. In this blog, you will find out when a breast lift (with or without implants) is the right choice and how we can help you in the Acura Medical Centre in Weert accompany.
A breast lift reshapes and lifts the breasts, improving their appearance by reducing sagging and addressing asymmetry.
In a breast lift, the plastic surgeon removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissue. This lifts the breasts, reshapes them, and restores a more youthful, fuller appearance. During the procedure, incisions are typically made around the areola, vertically downwards, and sometimes in the breast crease. The nipple's position is recentred and the breast tissue is more firmly moulded.
The procedure can be performed without implants or in combination with a breast augmentation, if there is volume loss.
Ein Bruststraffung ist für Frauen geeignet, die Folgendes erleben: * Brustverlust an Elastizität * Brüste, die nach unten hängen * Schlupfwarzen * Brüste, die nach dem Stillen oder Gewichtsverlust schlapp geworden sind * Wenn die Brüste asymmetrisch sind
A breast lift is suitable for women who wish to restore their natural breast shape. It often addresses one of the following situations:
- After pregnancy and breastfeeding
After pregnancy or breastfeeding, breasts often lose firmness. The skin stretches, nipples droop, and volume decreases. A breast lift corrects these changes by lifting the breast back into a higher, natural-looking position. If there's additional volume loss, an implant or autologous fat can be added. - After weight loss
Women who have lost a lot of weight often notice that their breasts feel empty or saggy. The skin has become too large and no longer offers sufficient support. A breast lift realigns the breast with the new body and corrects excess skin. An augmentation can also be considered here if necessary. - Through ageing and sagging skin
As skin ages, its elasticity decreases. Breasts can sag, even without pregnancy or weight loss. A breast lift can then offer a subtly aesthetic correction with a beautiful, natural result that suits the figure and age.
How does the procedure work?
A breast lift takes two to three hours on average and is performed under general anaesthetic. Beforehand, the surgeon will discuss with you what type of scars are required, depending on the shape of the breast and the desired result. After the procedure, you will be monitored briefly in the clinic.
Recovery is usually straightforward: you can resume light activities after a few days. Strenuous sports and lifting heavy objects are not recommended in the first few weeks.
The results of a breast lift are often visible long-term, particularly with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Read more about it at: Breast augmentation at Acura.
Breast uplift: with or without implants?
A breast lift restores shape, but does not add volume. If your breasts also feel „empty” or have become smaller, an implant can achieve a more harmonious result. The surgeon will discuss with you whether this is necessary and explain the possible shapes, sizes and materials. At Acura Medisch Centrum, only high-quality, safe and CE-approved implants are used.
Eine Bruststraffung ist nicht zu empfehlen, wenn: * Sie schwanger sind oder stillen. * Sie in naher Zukunft eine Schwangerschaft planen. * Sie an einer Autoimmunerkrankung wie Lupus oder Sklerodermie leiden. * Sie an einer schweren Herz- oder Lungenerkrankung leiden. * Sie an einer aktiven Infektion leiden. * Sie eine Geschichte von Blutgerinnseln haben. * Sie eine unrealistische Vorstellung vom Ergebnis der Operation haben. * Sie unter erheblichem Übergewicht leiden. * Sie Raucher sind und nicht bereit sind, vor und nach der Operation mit dem Rauchen aufzuhören.
A breast uplift is a safe procedure, but it is not recommended if you smoke, are pregnant, or plan to breastfeed in the near future. It is important that you are in good general health and have realistic expectations of the outcome. The procedure will improve shape, but it is not a miracle cure for all forms of asymmetry or imbalance.
Are you ready to give your breasts a second life?
A breast lift is more than an aesthetic procedure – it is a step towards greater self-confidence and well-being in your own body. Whether you have recently given birth, lost a lot of weight, or simply suffer from sagging breasts, this treatment can offer a beautiful and natural solution.
