Augmentation Mastopexy

An augmentation mastopexy is performed under a general anaesthetic and is usually performed as a day case. The operation involves placing an incision in the natural crease underneath the breast. A pocket is then created for the breast implant. The implant is then inserted.  The breast is then lifted using a mastopexy or uplift technique.

The most commonly used incision with an uplift with implants is an anchor shape which has scars around the nipple, vertically down and underneath the breast.  There are some cases where we can perform a small lift just with an incision around the nipple.  There is also a vertical scar pattern that can be performed.

This is a very common question that people ask.  One simple way of telling if you need an uplift is to see where the nipple sits in relation to your natural breast crease.  if the nipple sits below your breast crease then you are likely to need an uplift.

We have to advise you that there is a chance you may not be able to breast fed after an uplift procedure.  This may due to some of the glandular tissue being removed or affected during the uplift procedure.

We would recommend waiting for 6 weeks before flying long haul.  This is to ensure that everything has settled and there are likely to be no problems prior to flying.  You may be able to travel short haul after 4 weeks but you will still need to wear your support bra for 6 weeks following surgery.

The cost of the procedure will vary slightly according to where it is performed and types of implants used. The prices start from £11500 for augmentation mastopexy. To find out more information about the cost of  surgery book a consultation with Mr Nassab.
