Well-shaped breasts are inextricably linked with the image of a woman. Many women experience that their full breasts lose volume and sag as a result of the normal ageing process or after pregnancy and breastfeeding. This leads to a loss of elasticity in the skin and a decrease in glandular tissue. This can be remedied by a breast lift.
During a breast lift in Mannheim, Dr. Schumacher removes excess skin in the lower breast area and forms a new breast based on the upper parts of the glandular tissue. The lift is performed in several layers. Dr. Lars Schumacher places particular emphasis on the internal shaping of the glandular tissue into a well-formed, firm unit. This is known as the "inner bra technique".
The areolas and nipples are lifted together with the nerves and blood vessels. The areolas can be reduced in size at the same time. Normal sensation and the ability to breastfeed can usually be maintained after the procedure.
Dr. Lars Schumacher has specialized in scar-saving breast lift techniques for 20 years. In order to achieve a beautiful result, an additional implant insertion or filling with autologous fat may be recommended at the same time as the breast lift in Mannheim.
What breast lift methods are available in Mannheim?
The individual methods for lifting the breast differ primarily in the incision. Depending on the desired degree of lift, a circular incision can be made in the nipple area, which is particularly inconspicuous later on. If necessary, an additional incision is made from the nipple to the underbust crease, which may continue into the breast crease.
Depending on the initial situation, the nipple is also reduced in size or repositioned. Dr. Schumacher also attaches great importance to shaping the glandular tissue into a well-formed, firm unit. With this so-called "inner bra technique", he achieves particularly aesthetic and lasting results.
We often achieve optimal results with an additional implant insertion or a discreet breast augmentation with autologous fat.
How does a breast lift in Mannheim work?
The consultation
In a consultation, Dr. Schumacher will first explain to you all the details about the breast lift in Mannheim, the methods and possible risks. Together with you, we will decide to what extent and with which technique the breast should be lifted.
Treatment procedure
We perform the breast lift in Mannheim as an inpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Dr. Schumacher first makes the necessary skin incisions and then removes excess skin and tissue in the lower breast area. The breast is reshaped from the remaining parts of the glandular tissue. If necessary, Dr. Schumacher also repositions the nipples together with the nerves and blood vessels.
In the final step, the surgical wounds are sutured and dressed.
Aftercare
You will be fitted with a special compression bra, which you should wear continuously for the following weeks. After the breast lift in Mannheim, we will carry out regular follow-up checks until the final result can be assessed after around 2 - 3 months.
Frequently asked questions about breast lift in Mannheim
A breast lift in Mannheim can be useful if the breasts have lost volume due to age or other reasons. For example, the breasts can also sag as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding or severe weight fluctuations. In general, a breast lift is an option if you no longer feel comfortable or if the sagging breasts cause discomfort.
With a surgical breast lift in Mannheim, we achieve lasting results as excess tissue is permanently removed. However, it should be noted that the shape of the breast can change again due to pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations, for example.
Breast lift surgery is a routine procedure in our practice and has been performed by Dr. Lars Schumacher for more than 20 years. This allows us to offer you a high level of treatment safety for your breast surgery.
However, as with any operation, complications can never be completely ruled out. In rare cases, for example, wound healing disorders, sensitivity disorders or unsightly scarring can occur. The latter can usually be avoided by careful scar care. We will give you detailed instructions on this in the run-up to the operation.
Scars can never be completely avoided during a breast lift. However, Dr. Schumacher has been working with scar-saving incision techniques for 20 years so that he can reduce scarring to a minimum.
The course of the scars depends on the surgical method chosen. As a rule, you can expect a fine, barely visible scar running in a ring around the areola. Depending on the degree of tightening, a vertical incision below the nipple and possibly a horizontal incision in the breast crease may also be necessary.
After healing, the scars should gradually fade and eventually become barely noticeable. We will be happy to give you tips in Mannheim on how you can support the healing process and avoid unsightly scarring.
After the breast lift in Mannheim, you will be fitted with a special compression bra, which you should wear day and night for about 6 weeks. You should also rest for a few days and sleep on your back if possible. Overhead movements, heavy strain and any pulling on the breast area should be avoided.
After about 1 - 2 weeks you will be largely fit for work and social life again. However, you should take a break from sport and intensive physical work for a few more weeks. You should also avoid direct sun, saunas and swimming pools for the first 6 weeks.
Depending on the type of sport, a break of 4 - 6 weeks is usually advisable. Before your breast lift in Mannheim, Dr. Schumacher will discuss with you when you can resume which activity.
The first results can be seen immediately after the breast lift in Mannheim. The healing phase takes around 2 - 3 months in total. The superficial wound healing should be largely complete after about 3 weeks.
