With age, pregnancies or as a result of significant weight loss, the breasts can start to sag. This is known as the ptotic breast. Overly large breasts can cause some women to have both health and social problems. In addition to self-image issues, you may also experience physical pain and discomfort. The surgical procedure for breast lift is similar to that used for breast reduction, as are the results, however it is not covered by French medical insurance. Sometimes the ptotic breasts are also due to missing volume. The surgeon can then use a breast implant during the procedure.
The final results of your breast lift will appear over the next few months as breast shape and position continue to settle.
Incision lines are permanent, either vertical or inversed T-shape, but will continue to fade over time.
Breast lift cosmetic surgery is one of the most appreciated operations, especially after several pregnancies.

Commonly known as a Mastopexy, the breast lift is a surgical procedure to raise sagging breasts by modifying the contour and elevation. Breasts look saggy due to overstretched suspensory ligaments of cooper, excessive tissue, and skin. Lactation is also a cause of drooping breasts. During this procedure, a plastic surgeon removes excess skin and tighten the remaining tissue to create a more contoured and shapely breasts. Some patients may choose to have breast implants added as part of the procedure to give the breasts more volume.
After the surgery, you can expect to have round and elevated breasts. However, this surgery is not for everyone, you should talk to your doctor openly before opting for it. Your physical conditions and history are considered before going for surgery. Your surgeon will determine whether or not you are a good candidate for breast lift. For patients over the age of 40, a breast scan might be necessary.
A breast lift won't significantly change the size of your breasts. However, it can be performed in combination with breast augmentation or breast reduction.
Plan to take 2 to 3 weeks off work for your breast lift surgery. There will be pain and swelling in the operated area and your breasts will appear swollen for almost 2 weeks. There will be redness and pain around your incisions. Your areola and nipple are likely to be numb for a few days.
In the early days, painkillers are given to help you with pain. You might have to wear surgical bras for 2 to 3 weeks, after which, you can wear regular bras. No underwire bras should be worn for at least 6 weeks.
