Why have breast uplift surgery?

Ageing, gaining and losing weight during pregnancy and breast feeding all take their toll and leave their mark. Even the firmest breasts sag and droop after being stretched to accommodate milk, or through the inexorable process of time and gravity. Although women may still be very happy with the size of their breasts in early middle age, they may become completely dissatisfied with the shape, volume, and overall appearance. This can sometimes have a devastating effect on self-confidence and their ability to participate in many activities in life.

 

Many women find that, instead of their nipples pointing slightly upwards, they start to point down, and in some cases fall below the breast crease. The overall appearance of her breasts can cause a woman to feel uncomfortable about others seeing her naked, or in swimwear or summer tops, and her self esteem and confidence plummet. Breast uplift surgery can change the shape of sagging breasts, creating a younger look, without either reducing or augmenting breast size.

 

A breast uplift operation is a straightforward and routine type of cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and repositions the nipple, making the breasts more pert and naturally young-looking. A small implant can be introduced during the breast uplift if the volume of the breasts needs to be restored to give a good shape. The exact requirements of each individual woman, her expectations, what is actually possible for her breasts and other important breast uplift information will be discussed in detail by the surgeon at the pre-surgery consultation.

 

The long-term scarring after breast uplift surgery is minimal in most cases, and results can last many years, particularly if the woman has a stable weight and no further pregnancies.
