Breast Mastopexy with Implants in Manchester
Mastopexy implant is an operation that combines a breast augmentation and an uplift of the breast. It may also be known as a breast lift with implants. It is widely known as the best solution for drooping breasts, which can be performed as a one-stage procedure or a two-stage procedure.
Breast mastopexy with implants combines breast reconstruction and aesthetic plastic surgery. While a breast lift focuses on repositioning the breast tissue and tightening the skin.

Mastopexy Consultation in Manchester
The consultation will begin with questions about your health, lifestyle and desired outcome. Mr Ross will address your specific situation, thoroughly explaining the risks and complications. You will then have an opportunity to ask questions and confirm you are fully happy with the procedure before proceeding. A successful consultation relies on the patient being honest about their intentions and clear about their desired results.
Consultations with Mr Ross are available in person or via video call, allowing you to choose the setting that makes you feel most comfortable.
Mastopexy Implant Preparation
All mastopexy implant procedures require a general anaesthetic. Your health is of prime importance, and any cosmetic surgery should be postponed if you are unwell for any reason.
Before undergoing the procedure, you should do the following 6 weeks before surgery:
- Stop smoking, and commit to making this a long-term lifestyle change.
- Stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Stop taking herbal supplements.
Following your breast lift with implants surgery, you will likely experience some abdominal discomfort and should aim to be off work for at least 2 weeks.
After Breast Mastopexy with Implants
You should expect soreness, bruising and swelling for up to 6 weeks after your surgery. Make sure to always follow your surgeon’s instructions to keep the area clean and dry. While most patients return to regular activities 6 weeks post-surgery, strenuous exercise should be avoided until cleared by Mr Ross. Long-term recovery involves regular checkups, continuing self-examinations once healed and attending an annual mammogram.
Side Effects of Surgery
It is completely normal to experience some temporary side effects as your body heals. Immediately following your procedure, you should expect some swelling and bruising. Implants can also rest high and eventually drop to their neutral placement within a few months. If you are concerned about any side effects of surgery, get in touch with Mr Ross for a discussion.
Mastopexy Implant FAQ's
This procedure may be right for you if you are unhappy with the shape of your breasts, wish to improve drooping, increase volume or correct breast asymmetry. Other options will be discussed during your consultation to decide on your preferences.
We would advise against the procedure if you feel pressured into cosmetic surgery, or if you are a smoker, have a long medical history or have unrealistic expectations for the surgery. If you do smoke, then your surgeon will discuss the benefits of giving up smoking before your breast reconstruction surgery, as you are more likely to develop problems following the surgery.
