At Centre for Surgery, our surgeons advise patients to be above the age of 18 before considering any type of aesthetic breast surgery, including . The reason for this is that the breasts could still be undergoing growth and development. Any surgical intervention carried out during this phase may result in a future requirement for a further corrective surgical procedure. Patients below the age of 18 may also lack the necessary psychological maturity to decide on cosmetic surgery treatment.

Many women find they have breasts that may be significantly asymmetrical or incompletely developed in some way. The most common breast deformity found in women is . This type of breast deformity results in a conical appearance to the breast, which can be unsightly and cause a significant loss of self-confidence.  Having is also a common finding in many women, and all of these reasons are valid ones to consider when having cosmetic breast . For younger women, it is best to involve a psychologist and your general practitioner to ensure the procedure is being carried out for the right and has a high chance of a successful outcome.

\Is a Breast lift worth it?

Breast lift surgery is a performed procedure at Centre for Surgery in London, and the vast majority of women who have the procedure are delighted with the results and the subsequent improvement in self-confidence it brings. Breast lift surgery aims to enhance the shape of the breasts, resulting in a perkier appearance. Perky breasts are seen as a highly desirable appearance of the female breast, as they appear much more youthful.

It is to note that as we age, the size and shape of our breasts will naturally change over time. However, these age-related changes are much less compared to women who have not had a breast lift procedure. It is sporadic for women to require a second breast lift procedure. Breast lift surgery should be seen as a ‘one and done’ procedure.

The growth and development of the female breasts vary between individuals. Some women may have breasts that have not undergone full growth and maturity as late as their 20s, whilst other women who are younger and often as young as 16 may have undergone full growth and development. This is part of the spectrum of normality for breast appearances and is not abnormal in itself. Most surgeons, however, would consider a woman to be suitable for a breast lift if they are at least 18 years of age and fulfils other admission criteria, including being in good mental and health. Patients should also have realistic expectations for what the procedure can achieve and have a reasonable degree of psychological maturity, which helps in the recovery period after a breast lift.

As long as patients meet our minimum criteria of being over the age of 18, women can be suitable for a breast lift at any age. Several other criteria determine suitability for a breast lift, including being in optimum mental health and not having any severe chronic medical conditions, diabetes and hypertension. We would recommend that patients consider having a breast lift after completing their family, as both pregnancy and breastfeeding can adversely alter the shape and size of the breasts, which may require patients to have a second procedure further down the line to restore an optimum breast shape.

This is because breastfeeding the shape of the breast, and the breast needs time to recover and reach a stable size and shape after breastfeeding is completed. Undergoing surgery too early on may lead to a sub-optimal aesthetic result.

Breast lift surgery is not known to affect the ability to breastfeed for those who have a baby after the surgery. However, patients who have significant degrees of breast ptosis that require dramatic changes in the position of the nipples to improve overall breast shape may find that the ability to breastfeed may be impaired, and this is a risk of any surgery the nipples.
