Breast lift at Belgian Beauty Clinic
A firmer breast shape that feels in harmony with your body again
When breasts have begun to sit lower due to pregnancy, weight loss or the passage of time, a breast lift can restore their shape and position. Always tailored to your body and expectations.
Not larger, but higher and balanced again
During a breast lift, also known as mastopexy, the plastic surgeon removes excess skin and reshapes the existing breast tissue. The nipple and areola are moved to a higher, appropriate position.
A breast lift is therefore primarily intended to improve the shape and position of the breasts. The procedure does not necessarily make the breasts larger.
- After pregnancy or breastfeeding
- After significant weight loss
- When skin ageing has caused a loss of firmness
- When the nipple sits lower or points downwards
Creams or exercises cannot correct excess skin. During a consultation, we will honestly assess which procedure best suits your breast shape.
A breast lift with or without implants?
The amount of your own breast tissue, the desired volume and skin quality together determine the most suitable approach.
Breast lift without implants
Do you have enough of your own breast tissue and mainly want a higher, firmer shape? A lift without implants may be sufficient. The existing tissue is reshaped and positioned higher.
- No breast implant
- Your natural breast volume is preserved
- Focus on position, contour and firmness
Breast lift with implants
When there is a lack of volume as well as sagging, a breast lift can be combined with an implant. This allows both the position and fullness of the breast to be adjusted.
- Additional volume possible
- More fullness in the upper breast
- Shape, position and volume in one procedure
Good to know: an implant can add volume, but it cannot replace a necessary lift. If there is significant excess skin, a combination may be needed to achieve a balanced breast shape.
What scars does a breast lift leave?
A breast lift always leaves scars. The scar pattern required depends on the degree of sagging, skin quality and the desired correction.
Around the areola
For limited sagging, an incision around the areola may sometimes be sufficient. The scar then lies at the transition between the areola and the surrounding skin.
Vertical or ‘lollipop’
In addition to the scar around the areola, a vertical line runs down to the breast crease. This allows more skin to be removed and the breast to be shaped further.
Anchor-shaped
For significant sagging, a horizontal incision is added in the breast crease. This more extensive pattern offers the greatest scope for reshaping the breast.
The surgeon does not choose the smallest scar at the expense of shape, but the medically appropriate technique that best suits your situation. Scars usually fade gradually, but never disappear completely.
From consultation to breast lift
You will be guided step by step, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and make a decision at your own pace.
Personal consultation
The surgeon discusses your wishes and examines your breast shape, skin quality and nipple position.
Treatment plan
You will receive information about the appropriate technique, scars, recovery and a possible combination with implants.
The procedure
After precise markings are made, the breast lift is performed under general anaesthesia at our surgical centre in Diest.
Follow-up
After observation, you can usually go home the same day. We carefully monitor your healing during follow-up appointments.
What can you expect after surgery?
Recovery varies from person to person and according to the technique used. Always follow your surgeon’s instructions.
Swelling, tightness and sensitivity are normal. Rest and the prescribed pain relief will help you through this phase.
Many patients can gradually resume light daily activities and non-physical work.
You will wear a supportive post-operative bra. Sport, heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided temporarily.
The breast shape continues to settle and the scars mature. The final result can then be assessed more accurately.
Realistic expectations come first
A breast lift can make the breasts higher and firmer, but it cannot stop natural ageing. Weight fluctuations and a future pregnancy can also affect the result.
As with any operation, there are risks. During your consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss these with you personally and explain how we try to minimise complications as much as possible.
Possible risks include:
