DO I also need a BREAST LIFT?

Breast lift and/or Breast augmentation?

A frequently asked question we get from patients who want a breast augmentation is whether they also need a breast lift. For some patients, we propose a breast lift ourselves.

A Breast Lift is advised when:

the nipple hangs too low and will even sag more with the placement of an implant or
the own skin envelope is too large or too weak.

When a patient already has sagging breasts (in medical terms 'ptosis'), an implant may not be enough to "fill" the breast and enable proper lifting.

Even more, by placing an implant, the breasts will sag even more due to the additional weight ("gravity").

Ptosis is expressed in degrees as shown below.

In these patients, breast lift should be considered and discussed. The scar of a breast lift scares off most patients but allow us to convince you on the basis of our before and after photos that this scar is not too bad.

Breast lift with implants:

By doing a breast lift, we can adjust your breast shape, improve the position of your breast tissue and reposition the nipple so that it is in the right place.

This is an important consideration to avoid later disappointments. That is why it is also important that you ask this advice from a plastic surgeon who also has experience in breast lifts and not only proposes a temporary comfort solution.

Since plastic surgeon Nelissen has extensive experience with both breast augmentations and breast lifts, you can be sure that you will receive well-considered advice from us.
