With a breast lift (mastopexy), you can regain firm breasts, just like you used to have when you were a bit younger. If you want, an implant can provide extra volume.
A breast lift is ideal for women whose breasts have become saggy, for example after having children, aging or losing weight. The procedure can be perfectly combined with breast augmentation to give the breasts more volume as well. We inform you about breast lift surgery below.
Breast surgery has been part of Wellness Kliniek's specialism for more than 25 years. The experienced surgeons at the clinic go for Happy Patients and know how to tailor the breast lift surgery perfectly to your body through experience. According to research by WhatClinic, Wellness Kliniek has been ranked number one as a European clinic with excellent patient experiences for plastic surgery for many years.
The experienced surgeons at Wellness Kliniek ensure optimal safety and beautiful results, exactly what you should and would expect from a breast procedure. The clinic has an official ISO 9001 quality label, so you can safely have your breasts lifted with confidence. The size and shape of your breasts determine the breast lift method (and scar) the surgeon will recommend to you.
In an anchor lift, the plastic surgeon makes an incision around the areola, a vertical incision towards the breast fold and also in the fold under your breast. The scar is given an inverted T-shape that resembles an anchor. With a vertical mammoplasty, an incision in the fold under your breast is not necessary to create a nice shape. The scar then runs around your areola in a vertical line towards the breast fold.
In both cases, excess flabby skin is removed and your mammary gland and nipple are fixed at a higher level.
In a mini breast lift such as the donut method, the Benelli lift (image above) and the lollipop method (image below), the surgeon only removes skin around the areola. Optionally, the incision runs with a short vertical tail towards your inframammary fold.
The cost of a breast lift depends on the breast lift method that best suits your breasts. For example, if you opt for a breast lift and augmentation, take into account additional costs for the implants.
At Wellness Kliniek, we think it's important to always be transparent about prices. You pay an all-in price for the mastopexy, including pre- and aftercare, anaesthesia and VAT.

There can be several reasons to opt for a breast lift. From sagging breasts to drooping breasts and nipples. Wondering what we can do for you when it comes to a breast lift (mastopexy)? We can lift breasts with and without breast implants.
With a breast lift, the surgeon can make your breasts firmer. If you would like a bra cup size more then a silicone implant can provide extra volume.
A breast lift is a procedure in which the excess sagging skin of your breast is removed and your nipple and glandular tissue is raised to a higher level. This makes your breast firmer, but also slightly smaller. By removing the skin, the breast thus loses volume. If you would like extra volume, it is best to opt for a breast lift with implants.
Below may be reasons to opt for a breast lift with or without implants.
Breasts may droop over time, that's just nature. Would you like firm, round breasts? Then a boob lift offers a solution. Many women opt for a boob lift if they suffer from drooping breasts. These can be caused by age, weight loss, childbirth or after breastfeeding, for example.
Do you suffer from sagging breasts? With a breast lift, the breasts are not only lifted, but also firmed. This often involves making an anchor-shaped or vertical incision, allowing the surgeon to tighten the skin of the breast and remove the sagging skin. You retain the volume in your breast (your own glandular tissue). This way, your breasts become firmer, stand up more attractively and regain their natural, round shape.
We like to give some extra attention to the breast lift after losing weight. Many women find that after losing weight, they have saggier breasts that droop more. This is a natural reaction of the body, as the breasts are made up of glandular tissue and fat, after all. A breast lift is a good choice in this case. Are you currently not at your desired weight and want to lose more weight? Then we recommend that you do so before having the breast lift performed.
If you want to lift and enlarge your breasts, you can opt for a breast lift with implants. The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek use the best implants on the market. Depending on your physique and wishes, the surgeon will preferably choose from brands such as Laboratoires Arion and Motiva. These are safe implants that will give your breasts a beautiful shape in your desired cup size.
With a breast reduction, the plastic surgeon will also immediately lift the breasts to give them a beautiful shape. The surgeon will remove excess skin, mammary gland tissue and fat. If you have droopy breasts or low-hanging nipples, the surgeon will place your breast gland tissue and nipple to a higher level. Lifting your breasts is included in the price of breast reduction at Wellness Kliniek.
There is a magic formula to determine if you have droopy breasts. The perfect breast, according to a scientific study, has 45% volume at the top and 55% at the bottom. The nipple is above the breast crease and points slightly upwards.
If you have breasts with a nipple at the same level or lower than the breast fold, you are a basically suitable candidate for a breast lift.
The perfect breast does not take into account the cup volume of the breast. Small breasts can also be very beautiful. If you still want more volume then you can opt for a breast lift with implants.
For sagging breasts (grade 1 or more) - when the nipple is equal or lower than the fold under the breast - you are a suitable candidate for a breast lift.
Breast lift: do you have enough cup-filling, but is the skin of the breasts sagging? Then you are a good candidate to have your breasts firmed up by a breast lift.
Breast lift + Breast augmentation: do you have (too) little cup-filling and is the skin of your breasts sagging? Then you are a good candidate to have your breasts firmed up with a breast lift with implants.
In principle, a breast lift or breast reduction can be done from the age of 18. In some cases, and with the consent of your parents, an exception is sometimes made. It is best to wait until your breasts are fully grown.
Breast lift surgery requires a personalised approach. Depending on how much your breasts sag, we offer a mini breast lift or a (full) breast lift.
In a mini breast lift, the incision is made around the areola for slightly sagging breasts (donut lift) or around the areola and vertically towards the breast fold (lollipop lift) for moderately sagging breasts.
If your breasts are significantly heavier and therefore sag more, the surgeon will recommend a full breast lift with an anchor or vertical incision.
If you want a slightly fuller cup size, the surgeon will add volume by inserting breast implants. On the contrary, if you want less volume, the breast lift is combined with reduction.
Depending on the type of breast lift, you will stay for 1 day or 1 day + night at the Wellness Kliniek. You can usually return home or to your hotel the same day. In certain cases, the surgeon will advise you to stay an extra night in the clinic. The procedure takes 2-3 hours and is performed under sleep anaesthesia.
The greatest recovery from the surgery takes place within about 7 to 10 days. After the procedure, you will wear a compression bra or a sports bra without underwire for 6 to 8 weeks. After that, you can show off in your favourite bra or even without it.
If the nipple is repositioned, the sensitivity and response of the nipples may be temporarily reduced. This usually returns completely after a few weeks or months. Permanent loss of sensation in the nipple may occur, as well as circulation problems that may lead to partial or complete loss of the nipple. Smoking can contribute to this. This risk can be prevented by quitting smoking (at least three weeks before and six weeks after surgery). Permanent loss of sensation and circulatory disorders are rare.
The breast lift method and the size of the breast lift scar depends on how sagging your breasts are and the result you want to achieve.
The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek naturally keep the breast lift scar as small as possible. The stitches dissolve by themselves. Scars fade after about 6 to 18 months. After that, they become less and less visible.
We recommend scheduling a no-obligation consultation. You will receive honest advice about the possibilities and be told where the incisions will be made to achieve the desired result for your breast lift.
The donut breast lift (areolar mastopexy) is a method in which the skin around the areola is removed. This has the advantage that minimal scar is visible as it fades into the circular edge of the areola. A donut lift is aesthetically pleasing only if the skin of your breast is not too sagging.
The lollipop lift combines the donut lift with an additional incision vertically to the breast crease, thus giving the incision a kind of lollipop shape. This is a technique used when the breasts are just too flabby for the donut lift alone.
When the breasts have sagged considerably and it is desirable to tighten and lift them completely, surgeons recommend a total breast lift. This is also known as the anchor lift. The incision is made both around the areola, vertically downwards and in the inframammary fold.
The advantage of the anchor breast lift is that the desired result for breast firming can almost always be achieved. However, you should note that the scar (anchor shape) is larger than with the donut lift and lollipop lift. Fortunately, the scar fades and largely disappears into the folds under the breasts.
A mini breast lift can provide relief for mildly to moderately sagging breasts. The donut lift, the Benelli lift and the lollipop lift all fall under the mini breast lift. Of course, the specialists at Wellness Kliniek will give you detailed advice on this.
A Benelli breast lift is done in the same way as the donut lift. The operation is suitable for women with relatively small breasts. In a Benelli breast lift, the surgeon places the incision only in the skin around the nipple. This method can be combined with a prosthesis, or silicone implants. This is how small breasts are filled.
A Benelli lift will change the structure of your breasts and may damage the milk ducts so that you cannot breastfeed later.
Yes it does! In many women, one breast is just a little bigger than the other. Over the years, this difference can become more visible. If the breasts are uneven, surgeons can correct this with a breast lift, or combine it with a breast reduction or breast augmentation. The choice between these three methods is of course up to you; we are happy to inform you.
Tubular breasts are breasts that do not have the 'normal' breast shape due to a birth defect. This has many variations. For example, insufficient tissue is created at the bottom of the breast, or the breasts grow in a cone shape, so the breasts are not round.
There is often one tubular breast, or on one side, causing uneven breasts. Balance can be restored with a breast lift. The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek will be happy to advise you personally about the breast lift for tubular breasts. If you wish, the surgeon can add extra volume to tubular breasts with implants.
When lifting breasts, surgeons always aim for a balanced result. During a no-obligation consultation, we will discuss your wishes and transparently zoom in on the possibilities for your breasts. Book a no-obligation consultation for breast lifts.

During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are a suitable candidate.
During your consultation you can expect:
Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.
Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.
After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
