Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
What is Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Albania?
A breast lift procedure is perfect for patients who have always dreamt of having beautiful breasts. If their breasts have dropped or sagged due to age, dramatic changes in weight, pregnancy or breastfeeding, this procedure, commonly known as a boob lift, is an ideal permanent solution.
By removing the excess tissue and reshaping the breast mound and nipple, a breast lift surgery will restore the elasticity of the breast while preserving the blood flow.
After the swelling subsides the breast will naturally drop slightly, so the surgeon will make sure to perform a minor “over-correction” in order to anticipate this change. The end result will be a perky and youthful breast which is naturally proportionate with the rest of the body.
Your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy and he may suggest commanding your breast lift surgery with a breast enlargement or breast reduction procedure for optimal results. However, everything will be properly discussed during your consultation.
Why do people have a mastopexy?
A mastopexy or breast lift surgery can significantly help in improving the patient’s confidence and self esteem. People with sagging breasts choose this treatment as an ideal way to correct their look and provide a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. A breast lift is an effective solution for people whose breasts have started sagging due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss or as a result of their genetic predisposition.

What does a Breast Lift involve?
A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthetic with the aim of lifting sagging breasts. This surgical procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours. By the end of the breast lift surgery the initial position of the breasts will have been restored creating a youthful appearance. The surgeon will make an incision around the breast and then remove any excess tissue and skin while lifting the breast mound and giving it shape. During a breast lift the surgeon will reposition the nipple if necessary.
Usually this surgery is combined with breast augmentation for optimal results and proper positioning of the breasts after the treatment. The blood supply is maintained at all times, making the breast fully functional after the surgery. The recovery period for a breast lift surgery lasts for 2 to 3 weeks during which the patients are recommended to take time off work and avoid strenuous physical activities until the swelling goes away. Typical physical activity and workout can be continued after approximately 6 weeks.
What to expect during a breast lift surgery?
The consultation
The first step of a breast surgery treatment is the consultation with your surgeon. During the consultation you should address all your questions and concerns as well as what results you expect from your breast lift procedure.
Your doctor will discuss with you about what you can potentially achieve with this surgery while evaluating your body anatomy, bone structure and the quality of your skin.
A discussion about possible complications will also take place, while your doctor examines your medical history as well as any kind of other health conditions you might have. Your surgeon will ask you about any previous treatments you’ve done, medications, allergies, etc., so they can decide whether you are a good fit for breast lift surgery.
After carefully evaluating your case your surgeon will decide if you should proceed with your breast lift. He will usually let you think about your decision for another two weeks, which is commonly known as the “cooling off” period. During this time don’t hesitate to contact your doctor and discuss any other concerns you may have. Afterwards, you can proceed with your surgery.
Leading up to procedure
If you decide to proceed with your breast lift you should visit your clinic so that your surgeon can give you the instructions you should follow leading up to the procedure. Usually your doctor will recommend the following:
Stop smoking 6 weeks before your surgery as patients who smoke regularly are at a higher risk of experiencing complications during the breast lift surgery. Smoking can also be detrimental to their recovery.
Stop taking aspirin or any other medications that contain it for at least one week before your breast lift surgery.
Stop consuming food and drinks for 6 hours prior to the surgery. You can consume small amounts of water, black coffee or tea until 2 hours before the procedure.
On the day of the surgery
On the day of your breast lift surgery you should arrive at your clinic one hour before the time of your procedure. During this time a nurse will take your blood pressure and check your vitals before you go to your anesthetist to continue with your surgery.
Your surgeon will make the last markups and measurements before you are placed under general anesthesia and the surgery begins.
Usually, the breast lift surgery lasts for one and a half to two hours. Your surgeon will make an incision underneath the breast and around the nipples. Then, he will reshape and reposition the breasts mound to give your breast lift, while removing any excess skin.
After the surgery is done you will recover for 2 to 3 hours at the clinic. One of our nurses will carefully take care of you during your initial recovery. Afterwards, you will be allowed to leave the clinic accompanied by somebody you trust such as a family member or a friend.
Recovery stage
Our medical staff will be on duty 24/7 in case you need assistance. Don’t hesitate to contact us and one of our nurses or doctors will be there to help you with any issues that may arise, answer all your questions and provide post-surgery treatment.
A breast lift surgery is a fairly simple procedure. It can cause a bit of discomfort that can last for a few days. You should be able to go on with your usual routine after 1 to 2 weeks. The whole recovery stage can take from 6 to 8-weeks.
Patients are advised to take a week off work until the swelling subsides. During your recovery stage you should be careful with your breast area and try to not put too much pressure onto it. You should also avoid UV light for two to four weeks after the surgery as it can hinder the scarring process.
It is best that you come to the clinic after 1 week so we can evaluate your incision sites. During this visit your doctor can also discuss how the treatment is going and give you any additional advice that you should follow during your healing process.
After 6 weeks evident results should be noticeable. A final check-up can also follow the 6-week.
