Breast Lift surgery or mastopexy, available in Bristol through world-renowned cosmetic surgeon Elena Prousskaia, is a hugely popular procedure that can help tackle the effects of ageing, pregnancy, breast feeding, weight change and genetics.
It is very common, usual even, for female breasts to alter over time, this can be due to a single factor or a combination.
Ultimately, perhaps it does not matter, it is the impact that is of importance. For any woman, the impact can be psychological as well as physical. Physical symptoms can include discomfort while sport and physical activities can become more difficult to undertake.
Psychologically, as breasts drop a woman may lose confidence and their self-esteem can be affected, the body’s changes can lead to feelings of being less attractive to a partner.
The process of a breast lift or mastopexy can restore body confidence, leading to breasts that look more youthful once more.
Available at Bristol’s Spire Hospital, a superb modern facility with easy access from the city and surrounding areas in the south west, the breast lift procedure itself is a relatively straightforward process.
The surgery can be accompanied with the insertion of implants, thus making a breast enlargement as well as uplift. This can create a result that is breasts that are lifted and also have extra fullness and volume.
As with all cosmetic surgery, the skill of the surgeon lies in working with the patient to discuss the desired results and then ensuring that surgery leads to results that are beneficial but also in keeping with the patient’s body and age.
During the process, excess skin is removed and the breast tissue reshaped; the remaining skin then tightened.
The areolae can also be reduced in size and repositioned.
At the surgeon’s disposal are four breast lift techniques, these known as the crescent, circumareolar, vertical and anchor techniques. The technique used will in part depend on the degree of sagging, there are three degrees of sagging; minor, moderate and severe.
There is further information on all the techniques in our dedicated PDF.
The surgery typically takes between two and 3.5 hours and is carried out under general anaesthetic. The hospital stay is one day with an initial recovery time of between four and eight weeks.

Elena is a surgeon who stands apart, she is one of the few leading female cosmetic surgeons in the UK and is one of the leading surgeons male or female.

Just as important, though, is a cosmetic surgeon’s ethos, that they make prospective patients feel relaxed, that they listen to them and talk through all aspects of the results and procedure itself. There should be a partnership between surgeon and patient with surgery only proceeding if it is genuinely in the person’s best interest.
Elena prides herself on her ethos of working to ensure the best results, as she says:
“The one thing that matters most to me when I am with a patient is empathy.
“It is only when you are able to identify and understand your patients problems that you can begin to help resolve them satisfactorily. A good surgical outcome is not the only thing that matters. Everything that you do and say to a patient has to come from your heart.
“I consider myself very lucky to be able to share my passion for what I do and hopefully bring a bit more happiness into my patients’ lives.”
This ethos shines through in consultations. Elena always holds detailed consultations, this a chance for all aspects to be discussed and details of the potential results talked through. Typically a second consultation is then used, this ensuring the patient has time to consider if surgery truly is for them.
