Why people consider it
What are the benefits?
- Often considered after feeding, weight change, or the effect of time
- A way to sit the breast higher on the chest, with or without added volume
Often considered in the situations above. A consultation is the place to talk about the result you have in mind, and whether this procedure is a sensible way there. Nothing is offered until that conversation has happened. Individual results vary.
An uplift reshapes existing tissue rather than adding to it. It can be carried out on its own.
The consultation is where any further decision is made — what surgery can hold, and what it cannot.
A breast uplift is sometimes combined with a breast reduction, breast augmentation, or the removal or replacement of implants in the same surgical session.
