Information about breast lift

A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting age-related changes in the breasts.

Various factors can contribute to sagging breasts, including natural skin aging, pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or heavy breast weight. This gradually leads to a change in shape, which can be reversed with a breast lift in Zurich.

We have various techniques at our disposal to tighten sagging breasts. Sagging tissue can be removed or repositioned so that the breast retains its volume and its shape is stabilized.

The desire for a little more volume can be achieved with breast surgery using implants. Conversely, large breasts can be reduced in size to relieve the strain and harmonize the body shape.

The desire for a breast lift in Zurich can be for aesthetic or health reasons. In addition to the visual changes, some women also suffer from physical discomfort, especially if the breasts are very large and heavy. Dr. Köhler takes both aspects into account to achieve a lasting Result.

Possible reasons for a breast lift in Zurich may include:

  • Significantly sagging breasts
  • Changes in the shape of the breast and nipple
  • volume loss – the breasts appear empty and saggy
  • Skin irritation, especially with very large breasts
  • Emotional distress caused by sagging breasts

When performing breast lifts in Zurich, Dr. Köhler strives to achieve a lasting rejuvenation of the breasts that enhances the patient's feminine body image and self-confidence.

At KALEIDOSCOP in Zurich, our aim is to help you achieve a new sense of well-being with individually planned breast surgery. By lifting age-related changes in the breasts, we restore your youthful body image and self-confidence.

The goal of breast lift surgery in Zurich is not simply to tighten the tissue—it is to restore youthful shapes and feminine curves. With precise corrections, we can turn back the clock by many years and give you the sensual décolleté you have been missing in recent years.

Preparation for treatment

Before your breast surgery, Dr. Köhler's team takes plenty of time to carefully prepare for the operation. This includes various preliminary medical examinations as well as a personal consultation. Dr. Köhler will ask about your wishes and discuss with you how your sagging breasts can be lifted.

For additional volume, the breast can be augmented with implants, which are carefully selected in advance. If you want breast surgery without implants but still want a little more fullness, this is possible with autologous fat treatment. Dr. Köhler will support you competently and sensitively in your decision-making process.

Performing a breast lift

Breast lifts in Zurich are usually performed on an Outpatient basis under twilight sedation. The exact procedure may vary depending on the findings.

Sagging tissue is removed or repositioned to reshape the breast via several incisions along the areola and in the lower breast area. If necessary, breast reduction can also be performed during this step.

If you are seeking treatment with implants, the breast implant is inserted through the existing incisions. Depending on individual circumstances, the implant can be placed above or below the chest muscle.

In most cases, the nipple also needs to be repositioned. Where possible, this is done using gentle surgical techniques that preserve the milk ducts.

After breast surgery, the sutures are stitched without tension to ensure optimal scar healing.

Follow-up

After your breast lift in Zurich, you should allow yourself plenty of rest—feel free to ask for help with everyday tasks. The breast should be protected from strain, pressure, and sudden movements for several weeks. You will need to wear a special bra for about 6 weeks for protection and support.

Most clients are able to return to work and social activities about a week after their breast lift in Zurich. You should take a slightly longer break from physically demanding work and sports.

Careful hygiene and wound care are also important, as is special scar care from the sixth week onwards. Fresh scars should be protected from the sun for six months so that they heal as discreetly as possible.

Frequently asked questions about breast lifts

During a breast lift in Zurich, the sagging tissue is removed or repositioned and the nipple is moved upward.

The incision can vary depending on the correction required. In most cases, the incisions run along the areola and vertically down to the breast fold.

Breast surgery in Zurich can be combined with nipple reduction, breast reduction, or Volume enhancement with implants or autologous fat.

The results are long-lasting. Individual factors such as lifestyle, weight fluctuations, and genetic predisposition can lead to renewed sagging in the long term. However, this process is delayed by about 10 to 15 years by a breast lift in Zurich. If necessary, further correction at a later date is possible without any problems.

Complications of breast surgery can include post-operative bleeding, infections, wound healing disorders, or sensitivity disorders. The ability to breastfeed is usually retained, but impairments cannot be completely ruled out.

The scars from a breast lift in Zurich usually heal very inconspicuously. In isolated cases, increased scarring may occur, for example, if there is a predisposition to it, wound healing disorders, or heavy nicotine consumption.

Surgical correction of unsightly Scars or slight asymmetries is possible, but rarely necessary in practice.

Scars cannot be completely avoided during breast surgery. However, they can be minimized with the right surgical technique.

Dr. Köhler prefers scar-saving incisions that follow the natural contour of the breast and are therefore very inconspicuous.

As a rule, breast lift surgery in Zurich leaves a circular scar around the nipple. Starting from there, a vertical incision is usually made down to the crease under the breast. For larger corrections, this incision can be continued along the breast crease.

Healing can take about a year. However, after 3 months, regeneration should be so far advanced that you can resume your usual activities, including sports. You will be able to socialize again about a week after breast surgery.

Before you have your breasts lifted, you should give them time to fully recover. How long this process takes can vary slightly from person to person. We recommend having a breast lift in Zurich no earlier than 6 months after weaning.

A breast lift in Zurich does not reduce the size of the breasts, but simply reshapes and lifts them. This can give the impression of smaller breasts. If you find this bothersome, Dr. Köhler will be happy to advise you on how to discreetly enlarge your breasts with implants or your own fat.

In principle, pregnancy is not a problem. It should be noted that, depending on the surgical technique used, breastfeeding may no longer be possible. The breasts may also change unfavorably again during pregnancy.

Dr. Köhler will be happy to discuss these aspects with you personally and help you choose the right time for your breast lift in Zurich.

Breast lifts in Zurich are often combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction. In this case, both treatments are performed in a combined breast surgery. This allows the individual corrections to be precisely coordinated.

The cost of a breast lift in Zurich is calculated on an individual basis. We take into account your desired corrections, the surgical technique selected, and the possible combination with breast augmentation or breast reduction.

Dr. Köhler will be happy to discuss your treatment goals with you personally and provide you with a personalized cost estimate.
