Breast Lift at University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf

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.
