In an aesthetic-surgical treatment of the breast by means of a lift, the excess skin tissue of the breast, which is responsible for the sagging breast, is surgically removed. A number of different surgical methods are available for this purpose: The optimal procedure for any given case can vary a great deal. Depending on the physical condition and individual issues, the following techniques are particularly suitable for a breast lift.
Continue readingHere we have made available all the important information on the subject of breast lifting. In order to do this, we offer an overview of the common techniques of breast lifting. The periareolar lift (also known as invisible, almost “scarless” breast lift), where the implant is inserted through an incision at the nipple, the Lejour method, which is used to reduce large breasts, and the T-cut method (also known as anchor incision or Strömbeck method), which allows the greatest change in volume of the breast and is used, for example, for very saggy breasts. If you have any further questions, please feel free to arrange a consultation appointment.
Duration of the operation: approx. 2 to 4 hours (depending on the procedure and size of the breast)
Length of Stay in the Clinic: 1 day
Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia/ general anaesthesia
Follow-up treatment: 6 weeks compression bra
Resumption of social activities: after approx. 2 weeks
This procedure is also often touted as an “invisible, almost scarless” breast lift. However, it should be noted that every surgical procedure can leave scars, including periareolar tightening. The incision is made exclusively around the areola. The surgeon removes the excess skin and breast tissue. The skin is then pulled together again, creating small wrinkles around the areola (pleated wrinkles). Lifting is only performed at the skin level, the deeper lying glandular tissue is not lifted, the scarring is therefore particularly small in periareolar lifting. However, only a very limited amount of tissue can be removed with this method, making the technique particularly suitable for small changes and breasts.
Regardless of the incision, a particularly modern method of mastexopia is the ‘inner bra method’. Following this surgical technique, the breast lift involves fixing the mammary gland at various points, similar to the way a tent is set up. You can find out more here.

The simulation software developed in 2009 enables you to create three-dimensional online visualizations. In this way, a before-and-after comparison can already be illustrated before the breast lift. This technology is also used to predict results of breast augmentation. Further information about the Crisalix software can be found here:
