The procedure may be performed as a day case (in and out the same day) or you may stay in hospital overnight after the surgery. You should wear a sports bra day-and-night for at least 6-weeks after surgery, and sometimes for up to 3-months.

As mentioned above, it is important not to over do it in the post-surgical period. By 6-weeks you should be back to doing whatever you normally do, including exercise, but driving should be avoided for the first 2-weeks after surgery and you should not try to lift anything heavy until the 6-week mark.

A breast lift is a popular operation and achieves its goals consistently. However, with age, time and gravity, there will always be a relapse of droop. However, long term studies demonstrate that despite this, it is unlikely that your breasts will go back to their previous shape.

The risks and complications for a mastopexy include:

• Delayed wound healing and possible wound infection
• Development of a post-operative collection of blood in the wound - this might require draining in the operating theatre
• As the nipples are being repositioned and the breast is being tightened, there is a small risk that the nipple can undergo necrosis (die), but fortunately this is rare. Other issues with nipples can include numbness and shape changes.
• There will inevitably be a degree of differences between your breasts - some breast asymmetry is normal
• All operations carry a risk of blood clots occurring the legs (DVTs) that can migrate to the lungs (PEs) which, whilst rare, are serious.
• Revision surgery might be needed to make any adjustments in your result
