Breast Lift (Modelační Mammaplastika)

Breast lift (modelační mammaplastika) at SANUS Hradec Králové restores a youthful breast contour by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a natural height on the chest wall. The procedure is suited to women whose breasts have lost firmness and projection following pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or natural ageing. Plastic surgeons MUDr. Robert Čáp, Ph.D. and MUDr. Erik Antuš perform the surgery in the clinic's ISO 9001-certified surgical suite with inpatient recovery and full nursing support included in the care pathway.

Breast lift (modelační mammaplastika) at SANUS Hradec Králové addresses ptosis — the downward displacement of the breast mound and nipple that commonly follows pregnancy, prolonged breastfeeding, weight fluctuation, or the gradual effects of gravity and ageing. The result is a higher, rounder, and firmer breast contour without changing the overall volume (though augmentation can be combined at the same or a subsequent sitting if additional fullness is desired). The procedure is performed by the SANUS plastic surgery team — MUDr. Robert Čáp, Ph.D. and MUDr. Erik Antuš — in the clinic's dedicated operating theatre at Labská kotlina 1220/69, Hradec Králové. The facility is ISO 9001-certified and handles more than 4,000 operations per year, ensuring a structured approach to surgical safety, sterility, and post-operative monitoring. During the pre-operative consultation the surgeon grades the degree of ptosis (mild, moderate, or severe) and discusses the most appropriate incision pattern: periareolar (around the nipple), vertical (lollipop), or the full inverted-T (anchor) scar, depending on the amount of skin removal required. Realistic scar positioning and maturation timeline are discussed in detail before consent. Surgery takes approximately 90 minutes under general anaesthesia. Following the procedure, patients stay one to three nights at the clinic in a comfortable inpatient room with full nursing care, catering, and post-operative monitoring. A firm supportive bra replaces the surgical dressing after the first 24–48 hours and is worn continuously for four to six weeks to support the new shape during initial healing. Swelling and bruising are expected in the first two to three weeks. Normal light activity can resume from two weeks; strenuous upper-body exercise and swimming are avoided for six weeks. Scar management (silicone gel or tape) is recommended from week six onwards, and scars continue to soften over the following twelve months. Breast lift surgery does not affect future breastfeeding in the majority of cases, but this is discussed individually at consultation if relevant. Contraindications include active infection, severe systemic illness, unrealistic expectations, and active smoking within four weeks of the procedure.
