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. |

I was admitted for cataract surgery last week, feeling very nervous re the pending experience. However from admission to discharge, I was treated by all concerned with care & reassurance. The surgeon talked me through the procedure, & the team all put me at ease. On discharge, the nurse was very friendly (& patient) as she talked me through the post-op regime I should observe in the coming few weeks. I departed very impressed & totally satisfied!! |

2nd cataract surgery carried out very efficiently by surgeon and theatre team,however the nursing staff and general facility was far below the standard I have experienced on previous occasions at this hospital.The room was dark and the TV didn’t work.The nurse didn’t introduce herself,talked about herself,dropped the pupil-dilating med.which delayed the theatre.Then took nearly two hours to locate follow up eye drops and provide discharge letter.When asked if they were short staffed I was told no they were just busy and it was Friday afternoon! The staff were unprofessional referring in the corridor for all to hear about”the old guy who had a general in room…” Because my previous visit for my first cataract had been a very positive experience I was quite happy to leave without proper discharge procedure but anyone going through this for the first time or with any anxiety issues would have found this experience quite traumatic. |
