In response to this at Sculpt we utilise the breast lift (mastopexy) procedure to reshape and contour the overall shape and aesthetics of your breasts. The skin envelope is reduced to help lift the nipple and overall breast to a higher position. This does not however increase the size of the breast.
If an increase in size is required, breast implants can also be used to in addition to the mastopexy procedure. This is called an “augmentation mastopexy.”
During the procedure one of our qualified plastic surgeons will shape the breast gland through a carefully placed incision. The location of the incision will be determined by your surgeon and discussed with you prior to treatment. The procedure should take two to four hours and you may go home after the procedure.
Your surgeon will prescribe pain medication and it is normal to experience bruising and tenderness for the first two to three weeks, this is why we recommend taking at least one week off work. You may also be swollen and experience desensitisation in some parts of the breast after your procedure.
