Breast Uplift Surgery - Mastopexy

At your initial free consultation, you will be asked about your goals regarding breast lift surgery, as well as general questions about your lifestyle and medical history. You will be informed of what to expect from a Breast Uplift procedure.

Your consultation will be with your chosen surgeon so you will receive a full assessment and be given some recommendations to achieve your desired look. This is the perfect time to ask any questions or queries you may have surrounding surgery.

A Breast Uplift procedure will typically take around two to three hours, but could take longer depending on the extent of the procedure and whether you choose to combine it with another surgery like breast enlargement.

You can expect to spend approximately five hours at our private hospital, which takes into account your final pre-op consultation, administration of anaesthesia, the operation itself, and the time it takes for the anaesthesia to wear off.

In some cases, you might be required to stay overnight. Meals and a stay in your own private, ensuite room at our hospital are already included in your surgery price.

The healing process can differ between patients, but most will find themselves being able to return to normal activity six weeks post-op. The final shape of your breasts will usually be seen in around six to 12 weeks after the procedure, and scarring tends to fade 12 to 18 months post-op.

Like with any form of surgery, there are some risks associated with breast uplift surgery that patients should be aware of. Temporary side-effects of breast lifts include:

• Scars - will usually fade over time

• Bruising, swelling and soreness in the breasts - settles within a few weeks

• Changes in nipple sensation - can become more or less sensitive

All of our highly skilled and experienced surgeons go through a rigorous practising privileges process at Pall Mall Cosmetics, hold substantive NHS posts and hold full indemnity insurance. 

Our specialist Consultant Plastic and Breast Surgeons are registered with BAPRAS (British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and/or are BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) accredited so you receive the gold standard of patient care and a commitment to excellence in aesthetic surgery.

Our cosmetic surgery service is consultant-led, meaning consultations are with the surgeon who performs your surgery. They are highly attentive and provide you with a thorough consultation and aftercare service.

A Breast Uplift procedure is a common surgery performed to create a “fuller” and more youthful appearance. Women may opt for a breast mastopexy procedure privately if they have:

• Lost fullness and shape in their breasts after childbirth, pregnancy, weight loss, or naturally through ageing

• One breast that is bigger/smaller or hangs lower

• Breasts that are no longer firm

• Breasts that appear “flat” or “empty”

• Asymmetrical breasts

The NHS does not commonly carry out Breast Uplift procedures unless there is an associated medical issue and significant distress or pain. For this reason, many women choose to have a mastopexy procedure done at a private healthcare clinic such as Pall Mall Cosmetics. There is no waiting list, and you do not need a referral to have an operation performed.

We can ensure your safety at our Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated hospital in Newton-le-Willows and city centre clinics in Manchester, Liverpool or Leeds.
