Breast Reduction with Lift

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?

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.

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
