Breast Lift Without Implants Sydney

Breast lift surgery in Sydney removes excess or stretched skin from the breasts. The procedure aims to lift and reshape the breasts in order to address concerns about a sagging or downturned appearance. For many women, a breast lift (mastopexy) can improve the size, shape, and position of the breasts.

The primary goal of the surgery is to:

• Restore the breast position on the chest wall
• Improve firmness and fullness of the breast
• Elevate the nipple position
• Improve symmetry between the breasts
• Remove excess tissue and skin from the breast

Although the procedure can yield many benefits, it is important to note that individual factors will affect the results. Alternatively, breast lift with implants combines lifting techniques with implant placement to address both sagging and volume loss in a single procedure. This means you should always consult with a specialist surgeon such as Dr Yunaev to find out if the procedure is a good option in your case.

We will determine if you are a good candidate for a breast lift mastopexy during an initial meeting. During this, we will inquire about your motives for seeking surgery, as well as any relevant details about your health. Before you decide on the procedure, consider the following points:

• This procedure will not change the size of your breasts; you may require implants, fat grafting, or a breast reduction in Sydney to achieve your desired results. We can help you decide which option will best serve your goals.
• Breast development, childbirth, and breastfeeding should all have ceased before having this procedure.
• Breasts of any shape and size can be lifted; however, women with heavier breasts may find the effects will not last as long as those with less weight in their breasts.

This procedure may be right for you if:

• You are in good physical shape and a non-smoker
• Your breasts are fully developed
• Your breasts have lost their firmness or shape
• You have realistic goals
• Your breasts have an elongated shape or are pendulous
• Your nipples fall below the breast crease
• You have stretched skin and enlarged areolas
• Your nipples and areolas point downward
• One breast is lower than the other

It is important to keep in mind that your breast shape prior to surgery will influence the outcome of your surgery. We also offer the following breast procedures to achieve your desired look:

• Breast lift with fat transfer enhances breast shape while adding subtle volume using the patient’s own fat cells.
• Breast reduction and lift procedures simultaneously decrease breast size and improve breast shape for enhanced comfort and aesthetics.

Our Sydney-based procedure is available across suburbs in the east and inner west of Sydney as well as in the Southern Highlands, from our clinic located in Bowral.

In addition to clarifying whether you are a candidate, your first meeting with us will give us an idea of your needs and goals. It will give you the chance to get professional advice from a trained and very experienced medical practitioner, based on the outcomes you wish to achieve. You can also ask any questions about your breast surgery and attain the information you need to feel prepared and secure in your decision.

In order to develop a plan that suits you, we will need to know about any medical issues or medications you are taking. Dr Yunaev may advise you to stop taking certain medications that may increase your surgical risks.

The surgery is performed with a general anaesthesia, meaning patients will be asleep throughout. Dr Yunaev will work according to the treatment plan discussed in your consultation, meaning the exact techniques and processes may vary between patients. In general, a breast lift (mastopexy) involves removing excess breast skin and manipulating the tissue into a new shape.

Once your anaesthesia has taken effect, the surgeon will make the required incisions. These incisions may be placed:

• Around the areolae (dark patches of skin around the nipples)
• Along the breast creases
• Downward from the areolae to the breast creases

Dr Yunaev may adjust the breast tissue and remove any excess skin. He may also reduce the shape of the areolae or change their position, if required. When the surgery is complete, he will then close your incisions carefully and apply dressings. This whole process may take two to three hours.

The procedure aims to make the breasts appear more lifted, sitting at a higher position on the chest wall. It can also raise the nipple position and improve breast symmetry, depending on the needs and desires of the patient. However, you should note that breast lift (mastopexy) patients will see different outcomes, as every woman has a different natural figure and breast shape, as well as chest wall anatomy. If you are unsure whether this surgery can give you the results you want, you can discuss this in a meeting with Dr Yunaev.

When planning for your procedure, you should be aware of the recovery times and aftercare involved. Although each patient will have a different experience, there are some general instructions that you should follow in order to encourage a good recovery. Our team will provide you with further guidance, based on your specific health needs.

Following your breast lift (mastopexy), it is common to feel some pain and discomfort. You may also experience some swelling around your surgical sites. These side effects are expected, and we can help you manage any pain by prescribing medication. In order to help your body heal, it is important to follow these general recovery guidelines, as well as any further instructions given by your surgeon:

• Sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated
• Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet
• Take any pain medications prescribed by Dr Yunaev
• Wear a support garment for several weeks
• Take care to not bump or irritate your surgical sites
• Take time off work to recover at home
• Organise for someone to drive you home from the hospital
• Contact the clinic if you experience any adverse effects

You should also reduce your physical movement, as well as ensure that you get plenty of rest. This means you should not exercise, do any heavy lifting, or perform any strenuous work for several weeks after your breast lift (mastopexy). After six weeks, most of the swelling should have faded and you will be able to return to all of your normal tasks. However, this may vary for each patient, and it is always a good idea to consult your surgeon about when to resume work and exercise.

While most patients are pleased with the results, there is always the risk of an unhappy outcome or surgical complication. It is crucial to be aware of the potential risks of your desired surgery in order to weigh your options and make an educated decision. Therefore, before your breast lift mastopexy, we will talk you through both the risks and potential benefits to ensure you are fully aware and informed.

The risks involved in a mastopexy procedure include:

• • Excessive bleeding
  • Infection
  • Ongoing pain and swelling
  • Asymmetry
  • Poor scarring
  • Poor results
  • Anaesthesia risks
  • Changes in breast or nipple sensation
  • Nipple necrosis
  • Inability to breastfeed
  • Further surgery to correct complications

The best way to avoid risks is to consult with a qualified specialist breast surgeon and follow your surgeon’s pre and post surgery instructions. If you notice any of the above issues, or any other concerning symptoms, contact us and we will provide further advice.
