The only plastic surgery clinic in the country specialising in breast and body contouring.
This procedure aims to reshape breasts which have sagged or have become “droopy”. Breast tissue, like all tissues in the body, is subject to the forces of gravity. It is measured depending on how low the nipple has descended. This droop is known as ‘breast ptosis’.
Breast ptosis is part of the normal ageing process, but can be exacerbated if the skin of the breast is stretched and then the stretching force is removed.
This commonly occurs after weight loss or following childbirth when the breasts become swollen. The procedure involves removal of skin and mobilisation of the gland to lift the breast. During the procedure, the nipple is lifted to a higher position and the width of the breast is narrowed to create a better shaped breast.
There is always a scar around the nipple, and this may be the only scar (the Benelli Lift). However, it is usually necessary to also have a scar running down from the nipple to the chest wall (this is known as a lollipop scar) and there may also be one along the inframammary fold (the fold in which the wire of a bra sits) in a similar pattern to that after breast reduction (this is an inverted-T or anchor scar).
The scars are red and obvious for the first 3 months but usually fade fully within 6-18 months.

Jonathan talks about breast lifts
This 26 year old lady is shown 7 months following breast enlargement with 295cc low profile implants and has gone from a D cup to an E/F cup.
This 33 year old lady is shown 6 weeks following breast enlargement with 330cc moderate profile implants.
This 21 year old lady is shown 2 years following breast enlargement with 345cc extra high profile implants and has gone from a small B to a full DD/E cup.
This 37 year old lady is shown 5 months following breast enlargement with 330cc high profile silicone implants and has gone from a 32C to a 28F cup.
This 36 year old lady had a breast reduction in the past but has lost shape and volume in her breasts and has gone on to have enlargement with 365cc high profile silicone implants to restore her breasts.
This 31 year old lady had breast enlargement using 285cc moderate profile round polyurethane breast implants in a subfascial plane.
This 42 year old lady is shown 7 months following breast lift. She has two children and had previously lost 4 stone in weight – both of these events cause the breasts to swell and then shrink. It is the redundant skin that fails to recoil that causes the breasts to droop. She was happy with the size of her breasts and so did not need implants. She has got a great result from lifting the breasts back to a more youthful position.
This lady is shown 5 months following bilateral breast lift.
