This can be corrected with a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy. The procedure restores a harmonious, firm breast shape by removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple-areola complex higher on the breast, and reshaping and redistributing the breast tissue. In certain cases, in addition to a lift, breast augmentation using implants or the patient\u2019s own fat may be necessary to achieve the desired result (augmentation mastopexy).<\/p>\n\t<style>\n.straffung-circle,\n.straffung-circle * {\n    box-sizing: border-box;\n}\n.straffung-circle {\n    width: 480px;\n    height: 480px;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    padding: 45px;\n    background: #e7f9fc;\n    border-radius: 50%;\n    font-family: inherit;\n    color: #222;\n    display: flex;\n    flex-direction: column;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n}\n.straffung-circle h2 {\n    margin: 0 0 16px;\n    padding: 0;\n    font-size: 19px;\n    font-weight: 500;\n    line-height: 1.2;\n    text-align: center;\n    color: #222;\n}\n\/* DESKTOP *\/\n.straffung-content {\n    width: fit-content;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    transform: translateX(18px);\n}\n.straffung-row {\n    display: grid;\n    grid-template-columns: 138px 200px;\n    column-gap: 10px;\n    align-items: start;\n    text-align: left;\n    margin: 8px 0;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    line-height: 1.4;\n}\n.straffung-row span:first-child {\n    font-weight: 500;\n    color: #222;\n}\n.straffung-row span:last-child {\n    color: #222;\n}\n\/* ==========================\n   MOBILE\n   ========================== *\/\n@media (max-width:768px) {\n.straffung-circle {\n    width: 92vw;\n    height: 92vw;\n    max-width: 370px;\n    max-height: 370px;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    padding: 26px;\n}\n.straffung-circle h2 {\n    font-size: 17px;\n    margin-bottom: 16px;\n}\n.straffung-content {\n    width: 100%;\n    max-width: 270px;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    transform: translateX(12px);\n}\n.straffung-row {\n    display: grid;\n    grid-template-columns: 112px 150px;\n    column-gap: 8px;\n    align-items: start;\n    text-align: left;\n    margin: 5px 0;\n    font-size: 13px;\n    line-height: 1.25;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n    <h2>Key Points at a Glance<\/h2>\n            OP-Dauer\n            1,5 &#8211; 2 Stunden\n            An\u00e4sthesie\n            Vollnarkose\n            Aufenthalt\n            ambulant\n            Nachbehandlung\n            Sport-BH f\u00fcr 6 Wochen;<br \/>Narbenpflege ab 3 Wochen\n            Gesellschaftsf\u00e4hig\n            nach wenigen Tagen\n            Sport\n            nach 6 Wochen\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zumgoldenenschnitt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bruststraffung-mastopexie-basel.jpg\" alt=\"breast lift mastopexy basel\" height=\"1000\" width=\"1000\" title=\"breast lift-mastopexy-basel\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<h2>The Consultation for a Breast Lift<\/h2>\n<p>As a plastic surgeon, Dr. L\u00fcdi specializes in breast surgery and will be happy to advise you personally, woman to woman, on the subject of breast lift in her clinic in Basel.<\/p>\n<p>Before a breast lift, two detailed consultations typically take place. It is very important to us that you are well-informed about the procedure, that all your questions are answered, and that your wishes are taken into account. Dr. L\u00fcdi will discuss the surgical technique and the exact incision lines used to lift the breasts, as well as potential risks, complications, and postoperative care. We\u2019d also be happy to show you before-and-after results of breast lifts.<\/p>\n<h2>The Breast Lift Procedure in Basel<\/h2>\n<h3>On the day of surgery<\/h3>\n<p>On the day of surgery, Dr. L\u00fcdi prepares a photo documentation before the operation and makes the exact markings on the breast. You will then be prepared for the upcoming operation and accompanied to the operating room.<\/p>\n<h3>Bruststraffung &#8211; wie k\u00f6nnen die Br\u00fcste gestrafft werden?<\/h3>\n<p>A breast lift can be performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia at our clinic in Basel and takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The incision typically runs around the areola, vertically downward into the breast crease (vertical incision), and, if indicated, horizontally along the inframammary fold (T-incision). The nipple-areola complex is then repositioned, excess skin is removed, and the glandular tissue is redistributed and reshaped to create an aesthetically pleasing, firm breast contour.<\/p>\n<h3>\u200b\u200bDirekt nach der Bruststraffung<\/h3>\n<p>After your mastopexy, you can recover in our beautiful patient rooms with a view of the Rhine, where our team will take care of you. After another checkup by Dr. L\u00fcdi, you can have a companion pick you up and return home the same day.<\/p>\n<h3>The aftercare<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The first follow-up visit by Dr. L\u00fcdi takes place the very next day.<\/li>\n<li>For 6 weeks, you should wear a well-fitting sports bra during the day and at night.<\/li>\n<li>We recommend a grace period of 6 weeks. During this time, you should avoid sports, carrying and lifting loads and sleeping in the prone position as much as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Pain after surgery is generally mild and can be easily managed with common pain relievers.<\/li>\n<li>Scar care can be started from 3 weeks after breast lift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Risks and Complications Associated with a Breast Lift<\/h2>\n<p>In principle, any breast surgery carries certain risks; however, a breast lift is generally a low-risk procedure, and complications are very rare. In addition to the general risks associated with surgery (e.g., bruising, wound healing problems), there is a rare risk of infection or postoperative bleeding. Sensory disturbances in the nipple area usually subside on their own after a certain period of time. In a few cases, a secondary procedure to correct widened scars may be necessary; this can be performed under local anesthesia. During the consultation, Dr. L\u00fcdi will discuss the possible risks and complications with you in detail and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost of a Breast Lift in Basel<\/h2>\n<p>The cost of a breast lift depends on your preferences, the type and extent of the surgery, and the materials required. During a consultation, Dr. L\u00fcdi will develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you and provide you with a personalized cost estimate.<\/p>\n<p>As a rule, health insurance does not cover the costs of a breast lift, as it is an aesthetic procedure.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zumgoldenenschnitt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-brustvergroesserung-mia-femtech-schweiz-basel-dr.-simona-luedi.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Simona L\u00fcdi during a one-on-one consultation at the clinic\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"3 Breast augmentation Mia Femtech Switzerland Basel Dr. Simona L\u00fcdi\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<h2>Dr. Simona L\u00fcdi, M.D., is a board-certified specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery (FMH, EBOPRAS)<\/h2>\n<p>She grew up in the Basel region, studied medicine at the University of Basel, and has many years of surgical experience in the field of cosmetic surgery, with a focus on cosmetic breast surgery.<\/p>\n<p>A breast lift requires precise surgical planning and a thorough understanding of breast anatomy.

Many women therefore wish to regain firmer breasts. As a plastic surgeon specializing in breast surgery, Dr. L\u00fcdi would be happy to consult with you in person, woman-to-woman, at her clinic in Basel regarding breast lifts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">How long should I wait to have a breast lift after pregnancy?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>A woman's breasts change during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. For optimal results, we recommend waiting at least 3 to 6 months after weaning before undergoing a breast lift.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">What is the pain like after a breast lift?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Pain and discomfort immediately after surgery are mild and can be managed with common pain relievers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">What scars are caused by a breast lift?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Depending on the incision technique, the scars run around the areola, vertically downward into the breast crease (vertical incision), and, if indicated, horizontally along the inframammary fold (T-incision). Once the incisions have healed and the scars have matured, they are usually very fine, faded, and barely visible. Dr. L\u00fcdi will provide you with detailed instructions on scar care after the surgery to promote optimal scar healing. In rare cases, a secondary procedure may be necessary to correct widened scars.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">How long can I not work after a breast lift?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Depending on the occupational activity and physical strain, you must expect to be unable to work for about 1 week.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">When can I start doing sports again after a breast lift?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>After six weeks, the healing process will have progressed to the point where you can slowly resume physical activity. Listen to your body and watch for warning signs such as pain or increased swelling. In these cases, it\u2019s best to hold off on further training and give your body a little more rest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">Can breastfeeding still be done after a breast lift?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Depending on the surgical technique and the individual anatomy, if there is enough milk-producing tissue in the breast, breastfeeding can still be done, at least partially.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">How much does a breast lift cost?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The cost of a breast lift depends on your preferences, the type and extent of the surgery, and the materials required. After your consultation, Dr. L\u00fcdi will provide you with a personalized quote.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">How long do the results of a breast lift last?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The results of a breast lift are generally long-lasting, but not permanent in the sense of remaining unchanged for life.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the natural aging process, skin elasticity, and factors such as weight fluctuations or pregnancies, the shape of the breasts may change again over time.<\/p>\n<p>As a rule, however, the results last for many years, especially if body weight remains stable.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/booking.epat.ch\/goldenschnitt\/booking\" title=\"Book consultation appointment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"  role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Book consultation appointment\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBook consultation appointment\n\t\t<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die weibliche Brust ver\u00e4ndert sich im Laufe der Zeit, wobei Schwangerschaften, Stillphasen, starke Gewichtsreduktion, der normale Alterungsprozess, aber auch die Schwerkraft zu einem Erschlaffen der Brust, einer Formver\u00e4nderung und Abnahme der Festigkeit f\u00fchren k\u00f6nnen.
