During your consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will take a medical history and ask for details of any breast surgery you may have had. He will also discuss the scarring that can result from uplift surgery and explain the various options available to you.

Breast uplift typically produces scars around the areolae of the nipples and possibly down to the breast crease and along the crease. The amount of scarring can vary depending on your initial shape. You cosmetic surgeon will explain the extent of the scars you should expect.

  • If your breasts have not drooped significantly, and an increase in their size would be acceptable to you, breast augmentation alone may be a better way of lifting and firming them.
  • In other cases where breast droop is minimal, your cosmetic surgeon may suggest a technique that causes less scarring, or he may advise against having surgery at all.
