Available in Chester at the superb Nuffield Health, Grosvenor Hospital, a breast lift – or Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that can have a profound impact.
The breasts can lose shape and sag because of a number of reasons, the breast uplift addresses this, boosting their appearance and in so doing, greatly improving the self-esteem and confidence of the patient.
In this page, we will outline key details about breast lift and also why Anca Breahna stands apart amongst surgeons in Chester and the north west, with a CV and level of experience that make her the go-to choice for breast procedures.
When is a Mastopexy Suitable?
Although it is impossible to say whether someone is suitable for breast lift without a detailed consultation, we can say that as a general rule it may be a procedure to consider for anyone who has drooping of the breasts. This may have come on over time, or been a congenital condition that developed through puberty.
The best candidates are women who have breasts that have lost volume and are now sagging.
Causes for the sagging can be:
- Ageing
- Weight loss
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
Ultimately, it perhaps does not matter what has caused the sagging, the question is whether it can be treated.
It may also be that the apparent sagging is actually a similar condition such as tuberous breast, whereby the breasts can have an underdeveloped appearance with an overly prominent gap between them.
Suitability would be determined at a thorough consultation.

Consultation for a Breast Lift in Chester
As with any cosmetic procedure, or indeed surgery of any nature a thorough consultation is always essential.
The consultation is your chance to talk and express your hopes for surgery and the journey that has brought you to seek a procedure.
The surgeon will listen and then suggest a plan of best action – this factoring in your medical history and current health.
Only if it is truly in your best interests, would surgery be recommended.
A second consultation is then usual, this the opportunity to ask any follow-up questions.
The patient does not need to be an expert in the procedures, or even be certain if they require a Mastopexy or a treatment for congenital breast or tuberous breast. Instead, they simply need to know that they have a concern over the appearance of their breasts, the surgeon can then recommend the best treatment.
The Mastopexy Procedure
A breast uplift is carried out under general anaesthetic.
The surgeon will make an incision around the outside of the nipple and then another running in a vertical line from under the nipple.
Excess skin is then cut away, the breast tissue reshaped and the nipple repositioned. The wounds are then closed and dressings applied.
Experience of the surgeon is important to factor in how the breasts will settle down as they heel as the final result will not be visible for around six months, this as scaring fades and the breasts return to a more natural shape.
Post-Surgery Recovery
Full details of the aftercare and recovery plan would be detailed in consultation.
Typically, there will be a need to take it easy for around two weeks and physical activity will be off limits for a period.
The progress of healing would checked at regular follow-up appointments, Ms Breahna holds regular follow-ups throughout the first year and is also available at all times to answer any queries.

About Chester
Chester is a beautiful walled city located within the county of Cheshire and on the River Dee.
The city was founded as Castrum, the Roman fort located there called Deva Vitrix – this was one of the main army camps in the UK. Deva then became a major settlement in its own right.

Chester remained important through later centuries, for instance the nearby Newtown, with the Shropshire Union Canal were key to distribution.
