Procedure Information |
What happens during breast uplift surgery (Mastopexy)? Breast uplift is performed under general anaesthetic and usually takes about one-and-a-half hours. There are three types of incisions used during this surgery. Based on careful evaluation of your individual situation your surgeon will recommend a particular incision. The options include: Incision around the areola (dark area around the nipple) Incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease Incision around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease and horizontally along the breast crease. Your surgeon will remove excess skin and reshape breast tissue. They will also reposition your nipple lifting it higher. Following your procedure dressings will be applied to the incisions. There may be a small drainage tube placed temporarily in your breasts to drain any fluid or blood following surgery. The drains will be removed before you are discharged from hospital. You may be asked to wear a special bra to help support your breasts. You will need to rest until any effects of the general anaesthetic have worn off. You may need pain relief medication. Going home after breast uplift surgery (Mastopexy) The length of stay for most patients is one to two days. You will need to arrange for someone to drive you home. If you are leaving hospital the same day as the surgery you should arrange for a friend or relative to stay with you for the first 24 hours following surgery. Your breasts may be swollen and look discoloured immediately after surgery. Incision lines are permanent but will gradually fade. The results of breast uplift usually improve gradually over the first six months. Avoid lifting heavy objects or any strenuous activity for the first 6 weeks after your uplift. Since everyone heals differently you should discuss your return to work and normal activities with your surgeon. |

What can I say about the theatre team I had, top team, couldnt ask for more, had a full knee replacement and everyone played their part. I really am grateful for this team for putting me at ease and making sure this operation went as smoothly as it possibly could. |

Whilst uneasy about using a private facility I cannot fault the experience. Staff are without exception polite, professional and approachable. The facilities are exemplary and immaculately clean and well presented. The service from initial contact was speedily expedited. |

I underwent total knee replacement surgery on two occasions in September 21 and Feb 23 and would like to say that on both occasions the treatment and care I received from the surgeon and nurses was exemplary . My stayin hospital was for 2/3 days and on discharge was given adequate medication and an ice cuff My wound was covered in a waterproof dressing and so was able to shower the day after the operation ,The clips were removed by a nurse at the doctors surgery after 10 days. The followup physio and excercises ensured myknee attained the maximum bend. However not all NHS providers in Plymouth are as helpful . My neighbour had a total knee replacement on 5th May this year. She was discharged the day following the operation with medication but no ice cuff. Her wound has been glued and covered Una waterproof dressing but with instructions not to shower for 2weeks When she rang her surgery for an appointment for the dressing to be changed in 10 daysan appointment was not available and she was told to go to A&E . I feel very fortunate to have attended the Nuffield for my operations and fail to see why other providers are not as effective. |
