Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lift surgery (mastopexy, modelace prsou) at Plastika Praha reshapes and elevates sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a youthful height, restoring firmness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change. MUDr. Tomáš Doležal performs the procedure under general anesthesia in the clinic's Prague 3 operating theatre, with overnight recovery in private single rooms under continuous medical supervision. Pricing starts from 66,000 Kč, with a transparent published list of all ancillary costs.

Breast ptosis — sagging caused by skin stretching and volume loss after pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight change, or simply ageing — cannot be corrected by exercise or skincare, because the issue is excess skin envelope relative to breast volume. A mastopexy surgically removes the redundant skin, reshapes the internal breast tissue, and moves the nipple-areola complex upward to a natural position. **Technique:** The incision pattern depends on the degree of ptosis: periareolar (around the areola) for mild sagging, vertical 'lollipop' for moderate, and an anchor pattern for severe ptosis. Dr. Doležal selects the technique at consultation based on nipple position relative to the inframammary fold and skin elasticity. Where volume loss accompanies sagging, the lift can be combined with implants in a single operation (augmentation-mastopexy, from 69,000 Kč + implants) — one anesthesia, one recovery. **Surgery and aftercare:** The operation takes about 2–3 hours under general anesthesia delivered by the clinic's in-house anesthesiologist. Patients stay overnight on the inpatient ward in single rooms with private bathrooms and 24-hour staffing. A compression bra is worn for roughly 4–6 weeks; office work is usually possible within 1–2 weeks; sport and lifting resume gradually from 4–6 weeks. Scars are initially red and flatten and fade significantly over 6–12 months. **Honest expectations:** A lift restores shape and position, not volume — women wanting fuller upper poles usually benefit from the combined implant option. Results are long-lasting but not immune to future pregnancy or major weight fluctuation. As with all procedures here, surgery is performed exclusively by Dr. Doležal, and patients keep his direct number through the final check-up.
