Breast Lift

Loss of skin elasticity, gravity and other factors such as weight loss, pregnancy and breast-feeding ultimately affect the shape and firmness of your breasts. Patients who are generally satisfied with the size of their breasts can have a breast lift to raise and firm them, resulting in a more youthful breast contour. Some patients may be unhappy that they have lost a significant amount of breast volume over time. In such cases, implants inserted in conjunction with a breast lift can increase breast size at the same time as the shape and position of the breasts are enhanced.

Some of the indications that you may be a good candidate for a breast lift are:

• Breasts that are pendulous, but of satisfactory size
• Breasts that lack substance or firmness
• Nipples and areolas that point downward, especially if they are positioned below the breast crease

It is important that you discuss with the surgeon how you would like your breasts to look. Breast lift surgery will make your breasts firmer and more uplifted. The position of your areolas and nipples will be enhanced, and the size of your areolas will be aesthetically pleasing.

Planning your surgery……….

Breast Lift surgery is a very individualised procedure. At your initial consultation, the surgeon will examine your breasts and will discuss your goals for the surgery. He will consider such factors as the size and shape of your breasts, the quality of your skin and the placement of your nipples and areolas (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipples).

Your surgeon will discuss your medical history and will check for medical conditions that could cause problems during or after surgery. He will explain the techniques and anaesthesia and any risks involved, and will answer any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results.

For surgery in Cyprus, you need to stay for a minimum of 7 days, which includes a 1 night stay in the clinic and gives time for your recovery and primary post-operative care before returning home.

Getting back to normal……..

There isn't usually significant discomfort after surgery and you should be up and about in a day,

but plan on taking it easy at first. Your surgeon will give you more specific guidelines for gradually

resuming your normal activities but above all, get plenty of rest and allow your body to spend its energy on healing. Most patients can resume work around a week after surgery.
