Breast Lift

Before undergoing a breast lift, you will first have a consultation. During this appointment, you will discuss your concerns and wishes with a consultant, and the degree of sagging will be assessed. This is important as it determines the surgical technique. At Faceland, we distinguish between the donut lift and the full breast lift. If you’re sure about your decision, you can schedule an introduction with the plastic surgeon. During this second appointment, the treatment plan will be discussed, and a surgery date will be set.

Before the surgery, your plastic surgeon will review everything and mark your breasts. You will then be placed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon will proceed with the agreed technique to lift the breasts. Afterward, incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures and covered with bandages. You will be taken to the recovery room where you will wake up. After a check-up, you can go home.

After a breast lift, your breasts will sag much less. They will appear more prominent and youthful. If you had back pain as a result of your breasts, this may also be reduced. If you combine the breast lift with augmentation, you will naturally gain more volume as well. The goal is always to give our patients a sense of confidence.

Before you can enjoy the results, you will need to be patient. In the first weeks, your breasts will be covered with bandages and a post-operative bra. Once these are removed, your new breasts will continue to develop for several months. After three months, you will see a clear indication of the result, but after one year, it will be truly optimal.

Wear a post-operative bra day and night for at least six weeks after your breast lift. You will receive this after the surgery. You can remove the bandages after two weeks, and the stitches will dissolve on their own. For four to six weeks, avoid exercising, bending, or lifting heavy objects, as this puts too much pressure on the breasts. You may start driving again after two weeks, but always listen to your body.

It is important to live healthily. Therefore, stop smoking two weeks before and four weeks after the breast lift. Make sure to drink enough water and eat healthily. After six weeks, you can generally return to all activities, but you will only see the real results after three months. The optimal results will be visible after about a year. During this time, protect your scars from UV radiation, as they are very sensitive.
