Breast Uplift in Manchester

Strategic skin incisions are made to facilitate the reshaping and elevation of both your breast tissue and nipple. Dr. Ben Khoda then proceeds to contour and lift your breast. Any stitches used are of the absorbable variety, with efforts made to minimise scarring.

At BK Aesthetics, we offer three distinct types of breast uplift techniques:

• Anchor-shaped technique (the Wise pattern): Also known as the anchor technique, it involves creating an anchor-shaped scar. This uplift procedure is highly adaptable and capable of delivering reliable results.
• Vertical scar technique: This full uplift technique is especially effective for women with ptosis, where the nipples are positioned lower in relation to the rest of the breast shape.
• Modified uplift (Benelli technique): The Benelli breast lift is renowned for its excellent breast-shaping outcomes, achieved with minimally invasive incisions. It serves as an excellent option for those seeking moderate breast firmness, elevation, and shaping without the addition of extra volume.

Following a thorough evaluation of your breast tissue during the consultation, we will engage in a conversation about your options and provide recommendations tailored to your unique anatomy and preferences. Mr Khoda consistently delivers a personalised, individualised service in Manchester.

During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to meet with your surgeon, Mr Khoda, to explore your available choices. He will also document any prior or current illnesses you’ve experienced and compile a list of your current medications, encompassing both prescribed and non-prescribed drugs, as well as herbal remedies.

The key is to uphold overall well-being through a healthy diet and consistent physical activity. If you are a smoker, stopping smoking at least six weeks prior to the surgery can significantly lower the risk of complications. Lastly, it is advisable to take a bath or shower within the 24 hours leading up to your operation to ensure that the treatment area is as clean as possible.

If you are overweight or have plans for pregnancy, Mr Khoda may recommend postponing your operation in Manchester.

While all surgeries carry some degree of risk, Mr Khoda employs a safe and consistent approach to minimise potential complications. He utilises the non-touch technique to prevent skin contact with any part of the wound or any material or surface that may come into contact with the wound, including the inner surface of dressings. Common surgical complications encompass bleeding, hematomas, infection, numbness, changes in nipple sensation, and the potential need for additional procedures. Surgery also entails risks of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Specific to this surgery, there are risks of areola stretching and visible scarring. It’s important for patients to understand that no uplift is permanent, and its longevity depends on the elasticity of breast tissues.

No, breast uplift surgery does not cause cancer. The procedure involves lifting and reshaping the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the tissue, which does not increase cancer risk. However, always inform your radiologist about any breast surgery, as it can affect mammogram readings. Regular follow-ups and self-examinations are recommended to monitor breast health.

Many patients find that the benefits of a breast uplift, such as improved shape, position, and firmness of the breasts, outweigh the appearance of scars. While scarring is inevitable, skilled surgeons such as Ben Khoda, place incisions strategically to minimise visibility, and scars typically fade over time. The boost in confidence and satisfaction with your appearance can make the trade-off worthwhile for many patients.
