Treatment Overview

Breast uplift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is an aesthetic surgery procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts for a more youthful and contoured appearance. This treatment is ideal if your breasts have lost firmness and position due to ageing, pregnancy, breast feeding, hormonal fluctuations, or gravity. Unlike augmentation, breast uplift focuses on improving shape and elevation without necessarily adding volume, though implants can be combined for enhanced results if desired (a procedure known as augmentation mastopexy).

With a state-of-the-art facility and a commitment to excellence, Mr Wilson prioritises patient safety, satisfaction and confidence. If you’re considering mastopexy to restore a youthful silhouette, trust Mr Wilson’s expertise to help you achieve stunning, lasting results.

Designed to address breast ptosis (sagging breasts), an uplift procedure can produce transformative results. Mr Wilson tailors each procedure to meet individual needs, delivering natural-looking, confidence-boosting results. Breast Uplift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 3-4 hours. During the procedure, Mr Wilson removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue, and repositions the areola to a higher, more youthful position.

Advanced techniques applied by Mr Wilson, help to minimise scarring and achieve optimal results. In occasional cases a ‘crescent lift’ is chosen as a suitable surgical approach. This involves making a small incision around the upper part of the areola (pink area of skin that surrounds the nipple) and is ideal if you have mild sagging. A ‘crescent lift’ typically produces less scarring than other techniques. If a ‘periareolar (donut) lift’ is recommended, an incision will be made around the entire areola. This method is suitable for moderate sagging and will allow for a reduction to the size of the areola, if desired. If you experience moderate to severe sagging, a ‘vertical (lollipop) lift’ may be performed, involving an incision around the areola and down to the breast crease. With this technique significant reshaping and lifting can be achieved. Significant reshaping and lifting can also be approached using the ‘anchor (inverted-T) lift’ which requires incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, and then along the inframammary fold.

No two breasts are the same, and Mr Wilson approaches every breast uplift procedure with a personalised plan. During the consultation, Mr Wilson evaluates your breast shape, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals. Whether addressing mild sagging or more pronounced ptosis, he designs the surgical plan to achieve natural, symmetrical results. This individualised approach ensures the final outcome complements the body’s proportions and aligns with your expectations

Post-Operative Recovery

Following the procedure, you may find that swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort occurs, which can be managed with pain relieving medication. A supportive surgical bra will need to be worn for around 6 weeks, day and night, to aid healing and maintain breast shape. After 1-2 weeks swelling and bruising begins to subside. It is important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. You may be able to return to work (job dependent) and low-level activities after 2-3 weeks. Most swelling will have eased around 4-6 weeks post-surgery, and the breasts will start to settle into their new shape. As scars begin to flatten, moderate activities may be possible. The early results will naturally settle over the first 3–6-month period. You are likely to be fully healed by now, with scarring becoming less noticeable over time.

FAQ

Breast uplift surgery is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Paul Wilson. While all surgeries carry some risks, such as infection, scarring, or changes in sensation, these are minimised through the latest surgical techniques and meticulous aftercare. Mr Wilson operates in accredited facilities using the highest standards of safety. He provides detailed pre- and post-operative instructions to reduce risks and ensures patients have regular follow-ups to monitor their healing. By choosing a skilled surgeon and adhering to recovery guidelines, patients can enjoy a safe, transformative experience with long-lasting results.

While breast uplift surgery provides long-lasting results, it cannot stop the natural aging process. The procedure restores a youthful breast shape and position, but factors like aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or breastfeeding can affect the long-term outcome. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve the results for many years. Mr Wilson uses advanced techniques to create durable results and provides patients with advice on maintaining their new look. With proper care, patients enjoy significantly improved breast aesthetics and long-term satisfaction.

Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Patients are advised to wear a supportive surgical bra for 6 weeks to minimise swelling, provide support and aid healing. Physical activities, including heavy lifting, should be avoided during this period. Incisions must be kept clean, and Mr Wilson provides instructions for scar management, including the use of taping and silicone ointment. Regular follow-up appointments at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery allow Mr Wilson to monitor progress and address concerns. Following these guidelines ensures faster healing, minimises scarring, and helps achieve beautifully lifted breasts that last.

Most patients can resume driving1-2 weeks after breast uplift surgery, depending on their recovery progress. It’s important to regain full arm and chest mobility to safely perform driving motions like steering and braking. Additionally, patients should no longer require prescription pain medication, as it may impair reaction times. Mr Wilson evaluates each patient during follow-ups and provides personalised advice on when it’s safe to drive again. Prioritising rest and recovery ensure a quicker return to normal activities while minimising discomfort and promoting healing.

Breast uplift surgery may be performed as a day case procedure, allowing you to return home the same day. The surgery lasts 3-4 hours, followed by a short observation period in the recovery room. Patients need someone to drive them home and provide assistance for the first 24-48 hours. In some cases, an extended observational period may be recommended if additional monitoring is necessary due to medical conditions or specific circumstances. Mr Wilson ensures each patient’s care plan is tailored to their needs, prioritising safety and comfort during recovery.
