Breast uplift surgery   Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)

Overview
A breast lift attempts to redrape the breast skin envelope to raise the position of the nipple and improve breast shape. The main reasons for having a breast lift are:
1. Reshape sagging breasts and
    improve contour.
2. Increase firmness of soft breasts.
3. Raise the position of downward
    pointing nipples and areolars.
4. Reduce the size of areola.
5. Improve self esteem.

Please contact Mr Banwell’s rooms, and his staff can answer any questions you may have and can arrange for a quote and information regarding the procedure to be sent to you.

What type of anaesthetic?

Mr Banwell recommends a general anaesthetic undertaken by a specialist anaesthetist. The operation is generally performed as a day case and usually no drains are required after the operation.

How many times should I see Mr Banwell before the operation?

We generally like to see you at least twice prior to your surgery, although Mr Banwell welcomes and encourages you to visit as many times as you require to allay any concerns you may have about your surgery and at the same time confirm the size, look and expected outcome you are trying to achieve and also that you are fully informed of what the procedure involves and the potential risks.
 

Breast Augmentation

What surgical technique is used?
The breast can be lifted using a number of techniques including the Wise pattern technique as well as minimal scar techniques such as a Lejour method and Benelli method. Mr Banwell will discuss these options with you.

What happens after the operation?

After the operation there are no stitches to remove, as they are all internal. The hospital nurse or an office staff member will contact you after the operation to ensure that you have no problems during your convalescence. There will be post-op visits at one week, six weeks and six months. A crop-top/ athletic support bra is to be worn day and night for six weeks. We recommend no driving for two weeks post-operatively and no rigorous exercise for six weeks. At day 7 we will discuss the best way to achieve the optimum scar result.

What are the risks?
There are both general and specific risks and Mr Banwell will talk to you in detail regarding these. General risks include bruising and swelling, bleeding, wound infection, problems with general anaesthetics, abnormal scarring and keloid scarring. The specific risks of breast lift include loss of sensation to the breast skin or nipple, asymmetry and bottoming out of the breast, asymmetry, nipple size differences and nipple height differences.
