BREAST PROCEDURES
ABOUT
BREAST LIFT
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure aimed at raising and reshaping the breasts for a firmer, more youthful look.
By removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, this technique repositions the breast tissue to a higher location on the chest wall.
This procedure effectively addresses sagging breasts, restoring a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
THE BREAST LIFT
PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
On the day of your surgery, you will check in at the surgical facility, where the admission process for your procedure will begin.
Here’s what you can expect:
ADMISSION
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted, admitted, and undergo a pre-operative assessment by clinic staff and your anaesthetist to ensure you are prepared for your procedure.
PREPARATION
After changing into surgical attire, the nurses will accompany you to the operating theatre, where the anaesthetist will administer anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
PROCEDURE
Dr Frank will make incisions based on your specific breast anatomy and desired results. He will then remove excess skin, reposition the nipple, and tighten the breast tissue to achieve the desired lift and shape.
AFTERCARE
Following your procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery ward until you are ready for discharge. Depending on your needs, an overnight stay can be arranged for added comfort.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER
BREAST LIFT
RECOVERY
Following surgery, patients are advised to follow their personalised recovery guidelines from Dr Frank to ensure a smooth postoperative journey.
WEAR A
SUPPORTIVE BRA
After a breast lift, wearing a supportive bra is essential for 3 to 6 months to help maintain the new shape and provide necessary support during the healing process. This support reduces strain on the breast tissue and promotes optimal healing.
AVOID CERTAIN
ACTIVITIES
You should refrain from activities that involve heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or intense upper body movements for at least 4 to 6 weeks. This restriction helps prevent strain on the surgical site and promotes proper healing.
EXPECT SOME
DISCOMFORT
Mild to moderate discomfort is normal following a breast lift. This can typically be managed with prescribed pain medication and should gradually improve within the first week.
MONITOR
INCISION SITES
Carefully monitor your incision sites for any signs of infection or unusual changes. Follow Dr Frank’s instructions for caring for your incisions, including keeping them clean and dry, and attend all follow-up appointments for optimal recovery.
