Mastopexy / Breast Lift

There are many causes for sagging of the breasts including weight loss, pregnancy, breast feeding and ageing.

Mastopexy or breast lift is a procedure that improves the shape of the breast by lifting the nipple, tightening the skin and reshaping the breast tissue to give a fuller, more youthful looking breast.

Breast lift is ideal for people who have lost breast volume and have breasts that are sagging, typically after having children or weight loss. Incisions are made around the nipple to allow it to be lifted, and further incisions are made below the nipple and sometimes in the crease under the breast. This allows the skin envelope to be tightened and the new breast shape created.

Mastopexy alone does not add volume, but it does redistribute it and make breasts looker fuller. If patients also wish to add volume this can be done with the addition of implants, of fat grafting.

What to Expect on The Day:

The team will welcome you to the clinic and get you settled and relaxed. We will go through the procedure and discuss the process and sign the consent form. You will meet the consultant anaesthetist who will discuss this aspect of the operation with you. Mr West will draw markings on your chest to plan the incisions. Photographs will be taken before heading to theatre.

Once in theatre and asleep, Mr West will remove excess tissue and shape the breasts to their new desired size. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures and covered with steristrips and a small dressings. The scars are usually around the nipple, below the nipple to the breast crease and along the breast crease (an anchor shape). Mr West does not use drains. A support garment is put on to provide comfort and support as the wounds heal.

Following surgery you will be transferred to the recovery area and will be looked after by our dedicated recovery team. We will ensure all aftercare is explained and follow up appointments are arranged before letting you leave.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mastopexy

A mastopexy or breast lift is a procedure that lifts the nipple and improves the shape and appearance of the breast. It restores a fuller, more youthful look.

Am I a good candidate for mastopexy?

Breast lift is ideal for people who want to restore shape and volume to breasts that have lost volume and become droopy, typically after having children or weight loss.

Do implants give you a breast lift?

Implants can lift the breasts, and can be used where only a small lift is needed. Mr West will discuss this with you as part of your consultation process. If you want to add volume as well as lift the breasts, an augmentation mastopexy (breast lift with implants) might be appropriate.

What are the follow up or aftercare procedures?

Initial review and wound check is usually 1-2 weeks after surgery. Scar massage commences at 2 weeks. Further review appointment is usually made 4-6 weeks after surgery.

When can I start playing sports again?

Light activity is ok after 2 weeks, and it is important to keep your shoulders moving. Vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least 4 weeks.

Will breast surgery change the sensation to my nipple

It is common to experience some changes in sensation, these are often temporary and improve with time although can be permanent. This can be reduced sensation, increased sensation and in very rare cases complete loss of sensation.

When can I shower?

Your dressings are shower proof and therefore it is fine to shower the day after surgery. Mr West recommends dabbing your dressings dry with a towel after your shower. Baths should be avoided until the dressings have been removed.

  Blow Media have just launched our brand swanky new website and, excuse the pun, we are blown away.

Scott, Ross and Rik nailed the brief we gave them and have gone above and beyond to produce a cracking website. It was also excellent value for money!

The team were responsive throughout and were understanding and cool about last minute changes and design tweaking.

I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

  Best Website Design Agency in Berkshire in my view, perhaps the best in the UK. Have built 5 websites with them for clients in London, Leamington and Berkshire and every-time they knock it out the park.

  This is an example of what our target clients are saying...“I have just looked at your new website….It does look amazing!!!! Very fresh, modern, vibrant and clear and simple to navigate. :)”. Exactly what we want - Scott and his team have delivered against the brief for our new website. Can't recommend them highly enough.

  We have worked with Blowmedia closely to build two websites. I am not a very techy person and was daunted by the whole process, Scott explained everything to me in a way I could understand, always at the end of the phone or contactable by email and the whole process dealing with him and his team was easy and painless. The website is very professional and easy to navigate and has instantly from being launched started to attract new patients. I would highly recommend Scott and the Blowmedia's team to build any website.

  I initially spoke to a member of Blow Media's team at a trade show and was very impressed with what they had to offer and with the websites they had already built which I was able to look at on my phone as I queued up to speak to somebody.
The initial meeting was followed up very promptly that following week with an email and a fully detailed proposal of what they could offer which was very easy to follow, explaining fully all their services and a breakdown of their costs.
I had already researched web designers thoroughly and soon realised that Blow Media, from my initial meeting and early correspondance, was the company I was going to use.
From day one they were very proactive  and led the whole process. Scott the MD came to see us and very quickly fully understood and visualised what we wanted to achieve perfectly. He also recommended a content writer, an SEO company, a company to do some filming in the clinic and a photographer. We used all his contacts other than the photographer which we decided to try and do ourselves but have since decided to use the photographer Blow Media initially recommended as my photography was the only thing I could criticise about my website.
I would highly recommend Blow Media and their whole team, I have already instructed them to start work on our second website as our first website is already delivering and the clinic has never been busier.

  Blow Media  built our first website back in 2011. They worked closely with us and were able to deliver an outstanding, well presented website that enabled us to get found on search engines. After our business continued to grow we commissioned a second website in 2014 and then our third website was built in 2018. Our experience from start to finish has been fantastic With a special mention for Tracy and Scott who always make the process a joy. I would highly recommend the team and have many times already!
