Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lift (mastopexy) at AESTHGERY Plzeň restores firmness and a naturally upright breast shape changed by pregnancy, breastfeeding, age, or weight loss. During the operation MUDr. Kamila Šormová removes the excess loosened skin while fully preserving the breast gland, which is reshaped and anchored to the chest wall so that the nipple and areola move into a natural, youthful position. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia with a one-day stay at the clinic, and recovery takes approximately three weeks.

Breast ptosis — the descent of breast tissue and stretching of skin after pregnancies, breastfeeding, significant weight change, or simply time — cannot be corrected by exercise, because the cause is skin and ligament laxity rather than muscle. Mastopexy is the surgical answer: it reshapes the existing breast into a firmer, higher, naturally projecting form without implants. **Technique:** At AESTHGERY the breast gland itself is preserved — the surgeon removes only the excess, loosened skin envelope. The gland is remodelled and fixed to the chest wall, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned upward into its natural position while remaining connected to its blood and nerve supply. The scar pattern depends on the degree of ptosis (typically around the areola, possibly with a vertical limb), and is discussed openly at consultation. **Who it suits:** Women whose breasts have lost firmness and dropped but whose volume is adequate — if volume is also lacking, a lift can be discussed in combination with augmentation; if breasts are heavy and oversized, a reduction is the more appropriate operation. Dr. Šormová advises on the right procedure at the Thursday consultation. **Anaesthesia, stay, and recovery:** The operation is performed under general anaesthesia in the clinic's own operating theatre, with a one-day stay in an ensuite patient room. A supportive surgical bra is worn during healing; lifting and sport are restricted early on. Overall recovery takes approximately three weeks, and scars fade substantially over the following year. **Result:** A firmer, higher, naturally shaped breast with the nipple restored to a youthful position — lasting, provided body weight stays reasonably stable. Future pregnancy can alter the result, so the operation is ideally timed after completed family planning. **Pricing:** Quoted individually after examination; the clinic does not publish a fixed price list.
