As a result of weight gain or loss, after pregnancies and nursing periods but also through the natural ageing process, the female breast is subject to changes. The connective tissue loses elasticity and the breast tissue sags. The result is a pendulous breast with which very few women feel comfortable. Today, however, women are no longer obliged to settle for this.

A breast lifting is not a particularly serious intervention. Through an operation, the pendulous breast is relieved of excess skin. The sagging breast tissue is lifted and superfluous skin removed. If only a small amount of breast tissue is still available, a supplementary implant can be made. This restores its original and natural, rounded and firm form.

The operation lasts from two to three hours and is undertaken under a general anaesthetic. A two-day inpatient stay is necessary. After the operation, the wound is sewn up with self dissolving stitches. A bandage must be worn for around five days which can then be exchanged for a firm sports bra. After a breast lifting as well, no sports should be played for the first four weeks and heavy lifting should be avoided at all costs. Direct exposure to sunlight or even to a solarium are equally taboo during the first weeks after the operation.

A breast lifting improves the general sense of well-being of patients and often their self-confidence as well.
