When to have a breast lift?

You’re bothered by your drooping breasts and your nipples which are no longer where they used to be. Due to weight loss or pregnancy, your breasts may have changed and become saggy. Perhaps your nipples hang below your breast fold. Then a breast lift may be the solution to say goodbye to your drooping breasts for good.

A breast lift is also increasingly performed on women who have (or need to have) their breast implants permanently removed. To prevent very droopy breasts after the removal of breast implants, the breast is lifted.

Breast lift combined with other surgery

A breast lift can be combined with a breast reduction or just breast augmentation. Breast augmentation can be performed in several ways. For example, there is an option to fill the breasts with your own body fat or with breast implants. Breast implants or your own fat add volume. To get a nice look, a nipple reduction or relocation, is also an option. The advantage is that you only have one recovery period. During the consultation, we will discuss your wishes and how you’d like to see your breasts after surgery. The plastic surgeon will advise you on the options for achieving this result.

Extreme weight loss?

Have breasts lifted after extreme weight loss? If you suffer a lot from excess skin or drooping breasts, you can undergo a breast correction for this at MOOI Clinic. Check in advance if this surgery is covered by your health insurance company. If you are reimbursed for treatment, we’re happy to refer you to the hospital. MOOI Clinic only performs procedures for uninsured care.

A special technique that we can apply to women with a lot of weight loss is Rubin’s. With this procedure, the excess tissue on the side of the breast is used to provide padding to the breast. In this case, the scar does continue on the side of the breast but falls below the bra.

The consultation from A to Z

You come to MOOI Clinic in Maastricht to discuss your breast lift. Write down your wishes and questions in advance so you can ask them at the consultation. During the consultation, you’ll speak with the plastic surgeon who specializes in breast lift about everything from general information about before and after care, to details such as where the scar will be. The scar depends on the size of the lift and can range from a scar around the areola to a scar similar to a breast reduction. There is usually less scarring when the breast lift is combined with breast augmentation.

During the consultation, you may also try on breast implants and we’ll see what best suits your body. For this, the doctor also measures the current breasts. It’s very important to us that you feel good about your choice. Do you have doubts? If so, please let us know.

We also take photos for your medical records today.

After the consultation, you’ll be aware of everything concerning the surgery: you’ll receive honest advice from us about the expected result, risks, recovery and costs. We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum.

An initial consultation involves a €50 consultation fee, which will be deducted from the treatment price.

The breast surgery

The breast lift takes place under general anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing. The anesthesiologist will put you under anesthesia in the OR. Where the incision is made for the lift depends on how droopy your breasts are. The plastic surgeon will discuss this during the consultation. Sometimes during surgery we place a thin tube (drain) in the breasts to ensure that wound fluid is drained properly. The procedure takes 1.5 to two hours. After surgery, you’ll immediately be put on a post-operative compression bra and taken to the recovery room.

You can usually go home the same day after surgery. If it goes well and you feel good then you can go home after a check-up. You’re not allowed to drive yourself so plan in advance how you will get home safely. Prior to your surgery, you’re well informed about our aftercare and recovery instructions.

Aftercare and recovery

Before surgery, you’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions from us. It’s important for your own recovery that you follow these carefully. After surgery, your breasts will feel tense and perhaps painful. That feeling lessens within a few days. Scars may be temporarily red and swollen after the procedure. It’s important to take it easy for the first few weeks and to not lift or exert yourself heavily.

You’ll come for regular check-ups at MOOI Clinic and we will remove any drains after a few days. It’s important to wear an optimally supportive bra immediately after surgery; we’ll inform you about this ahead of time. After two weeks, we remove the stitches. After your surgery and outside of checkups, we’re always here for you if you have questions! At our clinic, lines are short and we’ll help you as quickly as possible.

In most cases, you can return to work after two / three weeks. After six weeks, you can slowly begin exercising again and are likely to be fully active again.

The scars may remain highly visible and red for several months. We will give you comprehensive advice and tips for taking care of your scars, like ensuring that scars should not be exposed to sunlight for the first year.

MY MOOI KLINIEK

Always well informed

At MOOI Clinic we think it is important that you have easy and safe access to information about your treatment. We would like to keep you informed via your own MOOI account. This way you are always well prepared. You will only receive messages that are relevant to you, before, during and after breast surgery.

Risks

As with any surgery, there is a chance of bleeding, infection or impaired wound healing. This is usually not serious and easily treated. Sometimes painful, subcutaneous thickening can occur. In most cases, these disappear by themselves over time. If that doesn’t happen, we can remove them surgically.

In a few cases, numbness of the nipples occurs and in very rare situations, loss of the nipple occurs.

QUIT SMOKING

We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum. Smoking not only makes you less MOOI on the outside, but also on the inside. If you smoke, you have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, skin shedding or respiratory problems with general anesthesia.

Experience of other women

Your desire and reasons for having a breast lift – possibly combined with breast implants – is personal. It’s very important to us that you feel good about your choices. The results of a breast lfit are always unique. However, you can read the experiences of ladies who have chosen MOOI Clinic via ZorgkaartNederland.nl.

From the beginning to the end so nicely helped, super friendly lovely staff, and a compliment to Dr Feijen…. If needed I will definitely choose this clinic again.

Wings, Breast Lift

A few weeks ago I had a breast lift with lipofilling performed by Dr. Meesters. I insisted on being treated by her and certainly do not regret it. From beginning to end, super fine guidance. She is very professional, clear, honest and thinks with you to get the best possible result. Beforehand it was difficult to estimate what the result would be, because implants were removed, but the result is better than I could have hoped for. Am very happy with it!

Petra Janssen (52), Breast Lift

Have been helped by Dr. Feijen 27-7-2020 for removal and replacement of new breast implants with breast lift. Results are amazing, have become very beautiful, scars are also very nicely done. I find her very knowledgeable and also committed to the patient. Thanks.
