Breast lift
If the female breast loses fullness due to pregnancy, for example, or merely due to time and gravity, many women feel less attractive. Sagging breasts can occur even after successful diets. If the diet finally makes the woman feel healthy again and she finds her belly, legs and buttocks beautiful again, the breast can quickly crush this feeling of happiness. Through a breast lift, a harmonious overall appearance can be formed again.

Where exercise, a healthy diet and drinking plenty of fluids no longer help to restore a youthful, firm appearance to the skin, only a breast lift or breast augmentation can help to remove or fill in the excess skin. Which of the two options is suitable for you depends on your personal ideas and the initial situation. The youthful volume of the breast, after high weight loss is rarely restored with implants. In this case, a combination, i.e. breast lift and augmentation with implants may be useful. Our specialists in aesthetic and plastic surgery will be happy to advise you on which option will bring the most aesthetic result.
Operation
Depending on the initial situation, different incisions can be used for the operation. The goal here is always to place the smallest possible incisions in order to work in a scar-saving manner. During the tightening procedure, the excess skin is removed and the mammary gland is reshaped. The nipples are repositioned at the desired height. However, these are not removed from the mammary gland to maintain the natural function of the nipple. Wenn gewünscht werden gegebenenfalls in Kombination mit einer Brustvergrößerung Implantate in runder oder anatomischer Form eingesetzt.
After the operation
A compression bra should be worn for a few weeks after surgery. In addition, heavy physical work and sports should also be avoided for at least 2 weeks. Light work may be possible again after a few days. Approximately 10 days after the breast augmentation you will have stitches removed. Three appointments are scheduled for follow-up care. 1 week to 10 days post-surgery, about 6 weeks post-surgery, and after about 6 months.
