Breast Uplift

Technically known as breast ptosis correction, breast uplift surgery usually takes about two hours. It is done under general anaesthesia and usually requires an overnight stay in hospital.

During the procedure, skin is cut away above, below and around the nipple and areola. The breast tissue is reshaped in order to achieve a better contour and enhanced projection.

The remaining skin is then stretched taut and rejoined and the nipple is repositioned. Because this type of surgery interferes less with the nerve supply to the nipple areola, sensation is usually preserved.

As routine precautions against blood clotting, you will wear anti-embolism (TED) stockings until you are discharged from the hospital and you will be expected to get out of bed and move around as soon as possible after breast uplift surgery.
