Breast lift at the TRAUMKLINIK – your experts near Stuttgart

Over time, the female breast is subject to the effects of gravity, which can cause it to lose firmness and sag. This effect is particularly pronounced if the breasts are naturally heavy and the firming function of the connective tissue decreases. In addition, pregnancy with breastfeeding can lead to sagging of the breast if the mammary gland tissue shrinks(involutional atrophy). As a result, the skin mantle can no longer be filled out tightly. The sagging of the breast often manifests itself in the sagging of the nipple-areola complex and the sagging of the lower part of the breast below the underbust fold, which is known as ptosis. The size and extent of the sagging play a decisive role here and influence the selection of suitable surgical techniques. A breast lift, one of the aesthetic procedures performed at our renowned TRAUMKLINIK clinic in Böblingen near Stuttgart, has proven to be a highly effective method of lifting the breasts – with or without implants. This is why, alongside breast augmentation, breast lift surgery is one of the most popular aesthetic breast procedures at our clinic near Stuttgart. Do you also want firm breasts?

Cost of a breast lift at the TRAUMKLINIK in Böblingen near Stuttgart

The question of how much a breast lift costs at our private clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery in Böblingen (Stuttgart area) cannot be answered in general terms. The final price for a breast lift depends on various factors:

• the chosen method
• the extent of the tightening
• the length of anesthesia
• the hospital stay
• a possible implant placement
• the extent of aftercare

In addition, you will have to add 19 percent VAT for a purely aesthetic breast lift. The health insurance company does not usually cover the costs unless there is a medical indication. Due to this variable composition, the costs for the breast lift in our TRAUMKLINIK in Böblingen near Stuttgart can be between 6,100 and 7,200 euros. In a detailed consultation, we will discuss the costs for the procedure with you, which will be individually tailored to you.

Breast lift consultation in the Stuttgart region

If you decide to have your breasts lifted by us, a personal consultation is a prerequisite. This is the only way we can achieve an optimal result in a before/after comparison. During the detailed consultation for a breast lift at the TRAUMKLINIK in Böblingen near Stuttgart, we will also inform you about possible risks and prospects of success, carry out the necessary preliminary examinations and determine the type of surgery with you. Breast lifts range from shifting the nipple-areola complex to tightening the entire breast to the additional use of breast implants as in a breast augmentation, a so-called augmentation mastopexy. In some cases, we also recommend having the breasts reduced in size by us during the lifting procedure – this way we can prevent rapid sagging again. We will explain which method is possible and sensible in your case in a personal consultation after an examination.

Breast lift procedure in Böblingen near Stuttgart

We will of course explain the entire process to you in detail and answer any questions you may have. However, we can already provide you with some general information about the process: A breast lift is an operation that aims to improve the shape and firmness of the breast. Excess skin is removed, the nipple is repositioned and the breast is tightened with an inner mesh of the body’s own tissue. This technique we use is also known as an “inner bra”, which ensures long-term shape stability and a natural appearance of the breast. If you would also like a breast augmentation with implants, the silicone implants are inserted before the actual breast lift at the TRAUMKLINIK in Böblingen near Stuttgart. The incision used for a breast lift depends on the initial situation and the desired result. For a breast lift, it is usually necessary to remove tissue from the lower part of the breast, i.e. to reduce its overall size. In addition, the nipple-areola complex is moved upwards with the entire breast so that blood circulation and sensitivity are usually fully preserved. Due to the different incisions, this results in different scar patterns, from just around the nipple-areola complex to an additional scar downwards to the underbust crease (so-called vertical incision) and sometimes further to both sides in the underbust crease (so-called inverted T-incision). The breast lift is performed under general anesthesia at our clinic in Böblingen near Stuttgart and takes between two and three hours, depending on the method and extent. The incisions are sutured with fine stitches to minimize scarring and covered with a bandage. Suction drains may also be placed to drain wound secretions. After the operation, you will spend a few hours in a recovery room before you can either be accompanied home or taken to your room for the night by our staff. Contact us

Behavior after the operation

Mild painkillers are usually sufficient after a breast lift. These are only needed for a few days until the swelling has significantly subsided. For your safety, the TRAUMKLINIK in Böblingen, near Stuttgart, is of course available to you by telephone after the breast lift. In order not to jeopardize the success of the procedure, you should adhere to a few rules of conduct. These include a few days of rest in the initial period. The total healing time is a few weeks, whereby you will be fully socially acceptable again after about one to two weeks. The self-dissolving stitches do not need to be removed, only their ends are cut off painlessly two to three weeks after the procedure. Please refrain from strenuous sporting activities that strain or irritate the breast in the first few weeks after the operation. Sauna, solarium and sunbathing are also not recommended during this time, as they can affect scarring. After about six weeks, you can slowly start doing light sporting activities again that do not put too much strain on the chest area. Pay attention to your personal well-being and avoid pain or tension in the breast. Also wear a special sports bra that supports and protects the breast. After about three months, you can usually resume unrestricted sport after we have given you the go-ahead at a follow-up appointment.
