BREAST LIFT

In this operation, sagging breasts are elevated to their normal position. Breast enlargement can also be done, if required by the patient, in conjunction with this operation (enlargement is done by inserting implants).

We use the small, vertical incision technique because of the following advantages: best aesthetic effect, quicker recovery, the operation is technically pretty simple and it takes less time than the classic operative techniques.

The small vertical incision technique has the best aesthetic effect because it leaves minimal scaring on the breasts. Classic surgery leaves big horizontal scars on the breast, which prevents patients from wearing low-cut dresses and blouses. With the small vertical incision technique, the scar is placed on the edge of the nipple and therefore is not visible. There is also a small vertical scar (5 to 8 cm) below the nipple, but this fades with time.

This surgery is performed under general anesthetic. In our surgery, a top anesthetist administers the anesthetic.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PATIENT

• Prior to surgery, the patient needs to go through an internist examination and has to have a blood test in order to make sure that they are healthy and that they can undergo the operation. The examinations are not done in our surgery.
  Stay in surgery is 24 hours, and after that the patient is sent to home care.
  
• Stay in Zagreb is 7 days. After the 7th day, patients who are not from Zagreb can go home.
  
• Recovery and sick leave is 14 days. On the 14th day the sutures are taken out (stitches are removed). Sutures don't need to be taken out in our surgery. A local GP or surgeon can remove the stitches on the 14th day after the operation and after that the patient can resume their normal life and professional activities. However, the patient should avoid hard physical activities and the lifting of heavy objects for 30 days after the operation.
