What is a breast lift?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure in which excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is reshaped. This raises the breasts and gives them a firmer and more youthful shape.
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and the natural aging process can cause breasts to lose volume and sag.
A breast lift corrects these changes by reshaping the breast without necessarily adding extra volume. If desired, the treatment can be combined with breast implants for extra projection.

The treatment process
Consultation
During a personal consultation, we discuss your expectations and analyze the current shape and position of the breasts.
Analysis
We assess skin quality, elasticity, and the degree of breast ptosis (sagging).
Treatment plan
Together, we determine which technique is most suitable and whether a combination with implants is desirable.
The intervention
The breast tissue is reshaped and repositioned higher while excess skin is removed.
Result
After recovery, a firmer breast contour emerges with a natural shape and position.
When is a breast lift suitable?
A breast lift can be a suitable solution when the shape and position of the breasts have changed due to natural factors.
Sagging breasts
When the nipples have sagged due to skin laxity.
After pregnancy
Restoration of changes that have occurred after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
After weight loss
Correction of excess skin and loss of firmness.
Decreased self-confidence
For women who want to feel comfortable with their body contours again.
A shape that fits your body
A breast lift is about restoring harmony and proportion. The focus is not on the size of the breast, but on the shape, projection, and position.
By carefully shaping the breast tissue, a result is created that looks natural and complements your physique beautifully. The treatment ensures that clothing drapes better and that the contours of the upper body are brought back into balance.
At o2 Clinic, we strive for refined results that look elegant and last a long time.
Recovery & Aftercare
The first few weeks after a breast lift are dedicated to controlled healing and supporting the new breast shape.
Swelling, tenderness, and a temporary feeling of tightness are normal reactions of the body after the treatment. These symptoms gradually decrease as recovery progresses.
A medical support bra helps stabilize the breasts during the healing phase. Strenuous physical activity is avoided for a certain period so that the tissues can recover optimally.
During the follow-up consultations, we closely monitor the recovery and guide you step by step towards the final result.

FAQ
A breast lift restores the shape and position of the breast, while a breast augmentation adds extra volume using implants or the patient's own fat.
Not necessary. Many patients achieve beautiful results with a breast lift alone. If extra volume is desired, a combination with implants can be considered.
As with any surgical procedure, scars form. These are placed as carefully as possible and typically fade significantly over time.
Yes. A breast lift does not affect the ability to become pregnant. However, future pregnancies may cause changes to the breast shape again.
The new shape is immediately visible, but the final result continues to develop over the months following the procedure as the tissues fully settle.
The result is visible for a long time. Although the natural aging process continues, the breasts typically retain a more beautiful shape and position for years.
