Who is this procedure for?
The breast lift without implants is for patients with sagging breasts with a sufficient perceived volume. This situation frequently occurs after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or with skin laxity related to aging.
This procedure may be suitable if you wish to correct sagging without increasing breast size. Good general health and realistic expectations remain necessary.
If a loss of volume is the primary concern, a different surgical strategy may be considered during consultations.
Consultation Process
Consultations allow for an assessment of breast shape, the degree of ptosis, skin quality, and the position of the areolas. An in-depth discussion covers your motivations, the possible technical options, and the expected results.
A breast health screening is necessary before any breast surgery, combining ultrasound and sometimes mammography, depending on your age and situation.
A personalized quote is provided, along with detailed information on post-operative care, scars, and post-operative follow-up.
The Procedure in Practice
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The operating time varies depending on the extent of ptosis and the chosen technique.
The incisions are adapted to each morphology: periareolar, vertical, or in an inverted T. The procedure involves removing excess skin, reshaping the gland, and repositioning the areola-nipple complex.
This surgery is performed in an authorized facility, separate from the consultation location. Outpatient surgery or surgery with an overnight stay may be offered.
Post-operative Care
Post-operative care includes moderate pain, usually managed with appropriate pain medication.
A support bra must be worn for several weeks to support the breasts and aid healing.
Swelling and bruising are common and gradually decrease. The return to work depends on your recovery pace, often after one to two weeks. Physical exertion should be limited for the first month.
Results and Scars
The results are gradually apparent, with evolution over several months. The breasts appear higher, firmer, and better proportioned to your figure.
The scars are unavoidable but improve favorably over time. Their appearance depends on the technique used, your skin, and adherence to post-operative instructions.
The result remains natural, without artificial increase in breast volume.
Risks and Potential Complications
The breast lift without implants carries standard surgical risks: hematoma, infection, delayed healing, temporary sensation disturbances, residual asymmetry.
These situations are infrequent but require clear information. Regular medical follow-up allows for appropriate management if necessary.
Fees and Coverage
The breast lift without implants is most often considered cosmetic surgery. Partial coverage may sometimes be discussed based on medical criteria.
The indicative price starts at €6,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and associated costs.
A detailed quote will be provided after consultation, in accordance with regulatory requirements.
