Drooping breasts are often the expression of a natural aging process or the result of pregnancies. Due to the age-related loss of elasticity of the skin and the remodeling of the mammary gland itself, it comes with age to the described changes. In order to achieve a stable long-term outcome, it is important that the breasts are not too large. Therefore, large heavy breasts can also be scaled to fit. If too small, the use of breast implants may be necessary to achieve a pleasing aesthetic result.

The technique used depends on the output given anatomical situation and the degree of sagging off. In general, we use scar-saving techniques with scars around the areola and vertically down the edge of a scar that runs to the crease beneath the breast. In exceptional cases, can also be achieved with a periareolar lift technique, where only a scar remains at the edge of the areola, an aesthetically good result.

The interventions for breast lift and / or breast reduction surgery are performed under general anesthesia. The hospital stay in the Elisées Clinic Bonn is 1-2 days.
