Breast lift - How your breasts are lifted and reshaped

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, helps women whose breasts have lost their shape over time – whether due to life stages such as pregnancy, breastfeeding or age-related changes. The procedure lifts the breasts and ensures that they appear firm and shapely again.

During the operation, excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is reshaped, leaving the breast with a natural, aesthetic shape. For many women, this not only means a physical change, but also increased self-confidence.

The breast lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes between 1.5 and 3 hours.

Why tighten your breasts? The most important reasons and who benefits

There are many reasons why women want to have their breasts lifted. The breasts often sag due to age-related changes, after pregnancy or as a result of significant weight loss. Genetically weak connective tissue can also cause the breasts to lose their shape and firmness.

For many women, these changes are not just a visual problem, but can also be a considerable psychological burden. Sagging or drooping breasts affect self-confidence and make affected women feel uncomfortable in their bodies. This often also has a negative impact on relationships and sex life, as many women have inhibitions about showing themselves to their partner.

A breast lift can offer an effective solution in such cases. The procedure lifts the breasts, restoring their youthful shape and improving their physical appearance. Women who have sufficient volume of their own benefit particularly from a breast lift. In cases where additional volume is lacking, the procedure can also be combined with implants to achieve the desired shape and fullness.

When does a breast lift make sense?

The most important signs at a glance

Your breasts have lost their firmness due to pregnancy or age.
Breasts can sag due to hormonal changes or the natural ageing process, which often leads to a change in shape.

Your breasts are very saggy and have lost volume.
If the nipples are significantly lower and the breasts have lost their fullness, a breast lift can help to restore their shape.

Your self-confidence suffers because of the shape and size of your breasts.

If you also suffer from the size of your breasts, we will be happy to inform you about a breast reduction. A breast lift is also performed during this procedure.

3 steps of a breast lift

Consultation

The first step is a detailed consultation. Dr. Roland Resch will discuss your expectations and wishes with you. He will explain the entire procedure to you and answer all your questions. In addition, your breast shape and physical requirements will be analyzed in detail to determine the best approach for your breast lift. After the consultation, you will receive all the important documents, which you can look through at home to help you make a careful decision.

Breast lift: method and anesthesia during the procedure

The breast lift (mastopexy) takes place in our surgery in Vienna. The breast is lifted and tightened, whereby in most cases little or no breast tissue is removed. The aim is to reposition the breast tissue to create a youthful and shapely breast. Various surgical techniques are available, depending on the individual breast shape and the desired result.

A common method is the T-incision (anchor incision), in which the incision runs around the areola, vertically downwards and, if necessary, along the underbust crease. For less pronounced excess skin, the vertical incision can be used, which only goes around the nipple and vertically downwards, without affecting the underbust crease. Both techniques aim to remove excess skin and reshape the breast, with the course of the scar being customized.

In some cases, a breast lift alone is not enough, especially if the volume of the breast is severely reduced. In order to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result, the use of breast implants may be necessary. This will be discussed in detail during the consultation to ensure that both shape and volume meet your requirements.

The procedure usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia . Our experienced anesthesia team will accompany you throughout the operation and ensure maximum safety.

Aftercare and recovery after a breast lift - how to support your recovery

The recovery time after a breast lift is short and, depending on your activity, you can quickly return to your daily work routine. Office work can usually be resumed after 2-3 days, while heavier and physically strenuous activities can only be resumed after approx. 4-6 weeks.

After the operation, you will be fitted with a special support bra to stabilize the breast and support healing. This should be worn for around 6 weeks to ensure the best result. Swelling and bruising may occur in the first few days, but these will subside over time. It is important to avoid physical exertion and lifting heavy objects so as not to impair healing.

Regular check-ups are necessary to monitor the healing process. This ensures that the wound is healing well and that any complications are detected at an early stage. Full recovery usually takes around 6 to 8 weeks, after which sporting activities can be resumed.

Breast lift - The most important questions and answers

How permanent is a breast lift?

This depends on various factors. The results of a breast reduction last for years to decades with good and very good results. The results of a breast lift can last just as long if you have good genetic factors. It also depends on how regularly you wear a bra, whether your skin is exposed to the sun a lot, weight fluctuations and hormonal factors.

What are the risks of a breast lift?

Patient safety is my top priority!

Every surgical procedure involves certain risks. The use of modern techniques and methods can significantly reduce the risk. Please bear in mind that all the complications listed below occur very rarely and are by no means the rule. Nevertheless, I am listing them to enable you to make a free and well-informed decision about the operation.

Post-operative bleeding

Wound healing disorders

It is therefore important to take every precaution with this procedure – as with all other operations. This is a matter of course in my practice, because patient safety is my top priority.

Is breastfeeding still possible after a breast lift?

It is not possible to predict whether or not breastfeeding will be possible after a breast lift or breast reduction. On the one hand, it depends on the technology used, and on the other on individual factors. About 50% of women retain the ability to breastfeed. It is important to note that approximately 30% of non-operated women CANNOT breastfeed.

When can i do sports and sauna after breast lifting?

It somewhat depends on the extent of the change. However, you should always allow yourself a break of 6 weeks. After that, you should always wear a sports bra when exercising. Sports such as running are particularly stressful for the breast.

Wait three months before going to the sauna.

What cup size can I expect after breast lift?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to operate on a specific cup size. The cup size also says relatively little about the actual volume of an individual woman’s breasts. The aim is to achieve a harmonious overall appearance in which the breast blends well and harmoniously into your body image. In most cases, this is roughly a C-cup.

How do I prepare for breast lifting?

Before a breast lift, we will discuss the following points together in order to positively influence the success in advance and avoid risks as much as possible:

General state of health and any illnesses
The influence of nicotine on the wound healing process. If possible, avoid smoking for 3 weeks before and after surgery.
The importance of avoiding aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs, as these greatly impair blood clotting.
There should be no acute or severe chronic illnesses that contraindicate a surgical procedure.
Chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure or diabetes must be well controlled with medication.
If you are going home on the same day as the operation, arrange transportation home in advance and ensure that someone is with you for at least the first night after surgery.
Prepare everything you will need after the operation at home and put the most important things within easy reach so that you don’t have to stretch too much after the operation and can devote yourself to your recovery.
Regardless of the type of procedure, drinking enough water before and after the procedure is necessary for recovery.

Does health insurance cover the costs of a breast lift?

The costs of a breast lift are almost never covered by health insurance.

What does a breast lift cost?

The prices for a breast lift always include all costs incurred, including preliminary consultation and follow-up treatment, surgery, personnel costs and a special bra that you will receive at home.
