Breast Reduction with Lift

Conveniently located to serve London

 

Introduction

A woman’s breasts play a significant role in defining her femininity. With the vast differences in shape, size, and appearance, breasts further help to reflect her individuality. When changes occur, it can make women feel as if they are losing some of their femininity. Dr. Foued Hamza, serving patients in London, offers breast reduction or breast lift to restore more youthful breast contours.

What Are Breast Uplift & Reduction Procedures?

Many factors can cause the breasts to sag, including genetics, ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and hormonal fluctuations. Breasts that were once firm and shapely may begin to droop, creating a sagging or drooping appearance. These changes are common and often develop over time.

A breast uplift, or mastopexy, removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue, lifting the breasts to a higher position. It is often chosen by women who have lost firmness due to weight changes, pregnancy, or ageing, or from the natural downward pull of gravity. The goal is to create a smoother, more supported shape that feels natural to your body.

Dr. Hamza can also reduce breast volume during the same procedure, improving comfort while refining the overall contour. This approach helps achieve a lighter, more balanced shape.

For those who want added fullness, a breast uplift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants or breast fat injection.

Breast uplift surgery can also be combined with breast augmentation to give you fuller breasts (breast fat injection or implants).

Ideal Candidates

A breast reduction is ideal for people with very large breasts that cause chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain, nerve pain, skin irritation, or chronic rashes under the breasts. It also helps patients whose breasts make fitting into clothing and bras difficult.

A breast uplift is ideal for those whose breasts have lost volume and shape, whose nipples have fallen lower than their breast creases when left unsupported, and whose areolae and nipples are pointing downward. It is also suitable for individuals with one breast that falls lower than the other.

Breast uplift & reduction procedures are not recommended for very obese people, people who cannot quit smoking before the procedure, or people who want to avoid post-surgical marks. These are not ideal for women who plan to get pregnant, because the pregnancy stretches the breasts, offsetting the surgery’s aesthetic results.

What Happens Before and During the Breast Lift Procedure

Your breast uplift and reduction consultation

During the consultation, we will ask you more about your goals and expectations for your breast uplift or reduction. We will examine your breasts’ shape, size, and skin quality, along with areolae and nipple position.

We will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, past surgeries, drug allergies, and current medications and supplements. We will also inquire about alcohol and tobacco use and any family history of breast cancer.

Next, we will discuss your options and create a surgical plan. We will review the details of the surgery, including anaesthesia, preparation, and recovery.

The vertical technique

This breast surgery is performed either under general anaesthesia or under local anaesthesia with sedation. It is often treated as a day case, meaning you will not have to stay in the hospital overnight. The procedure usually takes between one and two hours.

Dr. Foued Hamza is famous for his expertise in performing breast uplift surgery. He usually uses

the vertical technique. This approach involves a V-shaped incision that extends around the top of the areola and down the midline of the breast.

The skin is then lifted and stitched in its new position, and the excess skin is removed. The

nipples will then be repositioned to ensure that your newly positioned breasts look as natural as possible.

Although this procedure is slightly more invasive, it provides greater lift. This type of incision is well-suited for individuals with larger breasts and moderate to severe breast ptosis.

The Recovery Process

After the surgery, your incisions will be covered in bandages or dressings. You will be asked to wear a support bra or elastic bandage to reduce swelling and support the breasts during recovery. A tiny tube called a drain may be inserted to remove excess fluid or blood.

Pay close attention to Dr. Hamza’s post-surgical recovery instructions and follow them diligently. You will need to return for a follow-up appointment to ensure proper healing.

Some aftercare tips you should remember include the following:

  • Wear your surgical support bra as instructed to help maintain your new contour.
  • Keep incisions clean and dry, and follow your dressing-change instructions.
  • Sleep on your back to reduce pressure on the breasts.
  • Avoid lifting, stretching, or sudden arm movements until cleared.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support healing.
  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for better monitoring.

Benefits of Breast Uplift

A breast uplift can bring both aesthetic and practical improvements. Many women choose this procedure to restore a balanced contour and improve daily comfort. They love the procedure for these benefits:

  • Improved comfort with your breast shape
  • Improvement in posture and a reduced chance of backaches
  • A wider choice of bras/swimwear
  • Ability to wear tops without a bra
  • The ability to wear more fitted clothing
  • Rejuvenation of the breasts

How Much Does a Breast Lift and Reduction Cost?

Every breast surgery is unique, so the price of your breast lift and/or breast reduction will depend on your anatomy and desired outcome. After assessing the treatment area and learning about your goals for breast surgery, Dr. Hamza will explain your treatment options and the associated costs.

Breast Reduction with Lift Procedures Frequently Asked Questions

How long does recovery take after a breast lift or reduction?

Most patients return to light activities within a short period, while complete healing continues for several weeks. Your final breast shape becomes more noticeable as swelling decreases.

Will I have visible scars after surgery?

All breast reduction or lift procedures involve incisions, but Dr. Hamza places them carefully to make them as discreet as possible. Scars generally fade over time with proper skin care.

Are the results permanent?

Results are long-lasting, but natural ageing, weight changes, and pregnancy can still affect breast shape. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your outcome.

Can I combine a breast lift with implants or fat transfer?

Yes, some patients choose to add volume with implants or fat transfer. Dr. Hamza will explain whether this option, or other breast surgery procedures, is suitable for your anatomy and goals.

Will my breasts look natural after surgery?

The goal of this procedure is to create a shape that suits your body. Dr. Hamza’s technique focuses on balanced, natural contours rather than an overdone appearance.
