Breast lift Frankfurt

During a breast lift (mastopexy), excess skin is removed and the remaining tissue is reshaped to lift the breasts and make them appear firmer. The aim is to achieve a natural, harmonious breast shape – without any loss of volume. If desired, the lift can be combined with an augmentation or reduction.

Whether a pure lift, a combination with implants or autologous fat makes sense depends on your individual starting situation and the desired result. Dr. Nichlos will give you comprehensive advice on the options in a personal consultation.

The breast lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the method. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis, but an overnight stay in the clinic is also possible on request or if medically necessary.

Most patients feel fit enough for light everyday activities on the following day. As a rule, you will be fully fit for social life again after a few days – but you should still avoid major physical exertion.

Self-dissolving stitches are used and drainage is not necessary. Immediately after the procedure, you will be given a compression bra which should be worn for at least six weeks. We also recommend lymphatic drainage and regular check-ups to monitor progress.

A breast lift is theoretically possible from the age of 18, provided that the development of the breast is complete. There is no upper age limit. As long as the physical requirements (e.g. for anesthesia) are met, nothing stands in the way of breast surgery.

Scars can never be completely avoided during a surgical procedure. Thanks to modern surgical techniques and careful incision management, they usually heal inconspicuously. The appearance can also be improved with consistent scar care.

Yes, the results of a breast lift are generally permanent. However, even the surgical procedure cannot stop the natural ageing process. This causes the skin and breast tissue to sag over time, so that the breast shape changes again. Pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations can also affect the result.

Yes, this is possible. Even if no tissue is removed during a breast lift, the breast often appears smaller than before due to the tighter skin. If this is not desired, an additional breast augmentation can optimize the external appearance. Depending on personal preference and the desired size, breast implants or autologous fat can be used for this.

As with any surgical procedure, bruising, swelling or wound healing problems may occur. Sensitivity changes in the nipple area are also possible, but usually disappear. Detailed information will of course be provided during your consultation.

Allow yourself and your body time to recover and heal after the procedure. You should refrain from physical exertion such as sport for the first 4-6 weeks. After that, you can – in consultation with Dr. Nichlos – start with light exercises and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your training.

Yes, this is possible. As only excess skin is removed during a breast lift and the breast tissue is reshaped, but the milk ducts remain unaffected by the procedure, the operation has no effect on the ability to breastfeed. However, pregnancy can change the shape of the breast and therefore also the result of the operation. We therefore recommend that you wait until you have been breastfeeding for a few months and have completed your family planning before having a breast lift.

The costs start from 7,500 euros, excluding anesthesia, clinic and compression bra. The exact price depends on the extent of the treatment and is calculated individually following the consultation.
