Most women with drooping breasts who do not have a large volume of breast tissue can have breast lift surgery performed as a day procedure. This involves lifting the nipple and lower half of the breast to its acceptable aesthetic position. This procedure may include an augmentation using a breast prosthesis.

Preparing for the Operation

Investigations may have to be done to rule out any breast disease or tumour.

Products that contain Aspirin, Vitamin E, or Evening Primrose oil should be avoided for four weeks before surgery.

Strong alcoholic drinks should be avoided before surgery.

Important: Patients should not smoke for two weeks before surgery and for a few days after surgery. Smoking interferes with the circulation of blood to the skin and can cause death of the skin flaps.

On the day of surgery, the patient should wear comfortable, loose clothing. A button up shirt is recommended.

Patients must not wear any make-up (including mascara and nail polish) when they go into surgery. If the patient tints, dyes or bleaches his or her hair, this should be done no later than one week before surgery.

Surgery is done under local or general anaesthesia.

Post Operative Care

- Take a week off work.

- Takes 4 to 5 weeks to resume normal activity.
