Breast Lift
What is Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a standard procedure in cosmetic surgery. The breast is made to look younger and feel firmer during the surgery. The surgery is called mastopexy and is performed on women whose breasts have started to hang. This is often the result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, old age, and/or simply gravity! Pregnancy and an expansion of the breasts during breastfeeding cause the fibrous bonds that support the breasts to break off and stretch the skin.
Step-by-step process
Your journey at Essential Aesthetics
Our Care Team will welcome you by telephone and ask the necessary questions to schedule the correct appointment. We are curious about the reason for your visit and why you chose our clinic. We can also ask about your current health, treatment period and any previous operations. This allows us to prepare ourselves well for your arrival. We look forward to receiving you at the clinic!
Your first visit to us is a pre-consultation. This takes place with our consultant, who will guide you through this special journey as best as possible and is mainly there to listen to your needs and concerns. Our consultant will then share her expertise and knowledge while trying to match your wishes with the available range of services and treatments.
The different options, preparations and our care packages will be discussed with you. Our consultant will show you the doctor’s extensive portfolio. You will receive a copy of our patient information guide to take home from the operation to read again at home. We understand that one visit is not enough when it comes to a decision about your body and safety, which is why we encourage a second visit.
The second consultation is with the selected surgeon. We have now also received and processed all data for pre-operative screening. During this consultation, the technical aspects and possible risks of the treatment will be discussed and you will be prepared for the big day!
Arriving at this step of your journey, you have met our medical team and received all the information. All preparations have been done and it is finally time for the treatment.

We offer very comprehensive care. Depending on the treatment you have received, we will help you with the necessary compression suits, lymphatic drainage massages and scar reduction treatments.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Lift
This treatment is also carried out under general anesthesia. A keyhole incision most commonly performs the procedure. In this procedure, the incision is made in the skin around the areola with two diagonal downward incisions (i.e. in the form of a keyhole). The glandular tissue, fat, and skin are all removed, and the nipples are repositioned. A mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola (the brown skin around the nipple).
The skin is pulled down from both sides of the breast and around the areola, forming the new breast curve.
The breast tissue and skin are sutured together, usually with soluble sutures. The scars have the shape of an anchor with a circle around the areola, vertically up to the fold below the breast and extending horizontally along the fold below the breast. If you wish your breasts to be fuller or hang less, they can be filled during surgery by inserting silicone breast implants.
We advise you to remain realistic and not expect perfection. Your surgeon should take a number of factors into account when assessing your mastopexy or breast reduction, such as:
- Your existing breasts;
- The position of your nipples;
- Your age;
- Skin texture;
- Your own anatomy;
- Healing properties and your general health.
These will influence the outcome of your breast surgery.
Breast lift is a reliable and safe procedure. The result is immediately visible after the procedure. But keep in mind that your breasts will be wrapped in compressive bandages after the surgery, so you won’t be able to see your new breasts immediately. Your breasts will also be swollen at first. The end result is visible around 6 months later. The scars will have been discolored after a year and will barely be noticeable anymore.
Depending on the extent of the surgery, you may need a drain through the skin, but this can usually be removed within 24 hours. In addition, there will be some support bands or tape on the breasts, which can be replaced by a sports or surgical bra.
We expect you – depending on your job – to be able to resume your normal activities within two to four weeks. Please remember that some occupations, such as physically demanding tasks, require a more extended recovery. If you cannot stop working during the necessary recovery period, you should postpone your surgery to a more suitable time.
This also applies to patients with strenuous hobbies (e.g., horse riding, and gymnastics). Should there be complications, the period to refrain from such activities will be extended until you fully recover.
Normal things that can happen after surgery:
- Bruises, especially around the scars
- Temporary numbness
- Swelling, which will gradually decrease
- Mild pain for which pain relief is prescribed
The breasts will be firmly bandaged after the surgery. The bandage can be removed after 48 hours. You will wear a special postoperative bra immediately after the surgery. This bra resembles a sports bra and gives your breasts the support they need. Wear this bra for as long as necessary.
Pain is moderate and can be easily controlled with pain medication. Sometimes drains are also inserted to drain wound fluid. Lifting your arms higher than your shoulders is not recommended for the first six weeks after the surgery. Lifting and exercising are also not recommended. After those six weeks, you can slowly start moving usually. However, make sure that your breasts are well-supported.
Like all surgeries, breast lifts involve risks, and there is a risk of complications. The risks and complications include:
- Unsightly scarring
- Bleeding (hematoma)
- Infection
- Poor wound healing
- Changes in (the sensation of) the nipple, temporarily or permanently
