The pose is suitable for:

  • Breast ptosis (nipples below the inframammary fold)
  • Loss of firmness and a “hollow” appearance
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Desire for a more youthful and lifted appearance
Breast augmentation is suitable for women who notice breast sagging (ptosis), loss of volume, or changes in shape – often after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or with aging.
This is a procedure that not only changes appearance but also has a significant psychological impact. Breast lifts help women regain their sense of femininity and self-confidence.

Procedure Description

  • Excess skin removal
  • reconstruction of glandular-fatty tissue (so-called “autoprothesis”)
  • nipple repositioning

If necessary, we can combine the procedure:

  • breast augmentation (implants or own fat)
  • breast reduction

A team of top aesthetic surgeons at Juventina designs an individualized plan for each patient, decides on the most suitable techniques based on anatomy, and creates a natural, aesthetically perfect, and long-lasting result. Our goal is a harmonious, lifted shape that looks natural and restores patients' confident feeling in their own bodies.

Breast lift surgical techniques

Breast lifting, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to reshape, lift, and restore a more youthful appearance to the breasts. The surgical technique depends on the degree of breast sagging, skin quality, and the amount of existing glandular tissue. For minor sagging, a smaller incision around the areola may suffice, while for more pronounced ptosis, additional incisions are necessary for optimal breast reshaping. During the procedure, the surgeon redistributes glandular and fatty tissue, removes excess skin, and repositions the nipple to a more aesthetically pleasing position. For certain patients, mastopexy is also combined with breast augmentation using implants or their own fatty tissue when an additional improvement in volume and shape is desired. Modern surgical techniques allow for very natural results, better breast projection, and long-term aesthetic harmony.

 

Breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure to lift, reshape, and restore firmness to the breasts. At Juventina, the procedure is performed under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ahčan, an internationally recognized surgeon with over 20 years of experience, who is considered one of the world's leading experts in breast reconstruction and other complex reconstructive procedures.

Before surgery, we recommend:

  • Stable body weight
  • Avoiding medications that affect blood clotting
Because our goal is not just the completed procedure, but the safe guidance of patients from the first to the last step and final satisfaction, within the additional Juventina Care 360° program, we offer you comprehensive preparation for the procedure and support for a fast and effective recovery. 

Procedure steps

If breasts are saggy and empty – with no increased amount of fatty glandular tissue, we reshape them by removing excess skin. A good cosmetic surgeon will create a new breast from an existing saggy breast by reshaping the glandular fatty tissue (autoprothesis) and then reshape the breast skin. Only one who knows all surgical techniques for breast surgery will sometimes also suggest a combination of breast lift and simultaneous breast augmentation (mastopexy and augmentation). 

Intervention planning and aesthetic result

Successful breast lift surgery is based on precise preoperative planning and an individualized approach. During planning, the surgeon considers the chest anatomy, skin elasticity, nipple position, and the ratio of glandular to fatty breast tissue. The goal of the procedure is not only to lift the breasts but also to create a harmonious shape that is in proportion with the body. Special attention is also paid to the placement of scars, which are carefully hidden within the natural anatomical lines of the breast. 

 

 

For optimal results, we occasionally recommend a combination of breast lift and simultaneous breast augmentation (mastopexy and augmentation).

Recovery

After the procedure, swelling, tenderness, and mild to moderate pain may be present, which will gradually subside.

It is important to consider:

  • For the first few days, we recommend rest.
  • wearing a compression bra is crucial
  • You can return to light activities in 1-2 weeks.

For best results, we recommend:

  • wearing a compression bra as instructed
  • avoiding exertion and lifting heavy objects
  • Postoperative return to activity
  • properly healed scar

The final result of the procedure develops gradually as the tissues adapt to the new shape. For optimal results, an additional program is also available. Juventina Care 360°, that includes:

  • comprehensive preparation for surgery
  • rehabilitation program
  • Fast and effective recovery with all the products and services you will need
  • advanced therapies for better outcomes
