Length

The procedure can last up to three hours.

Procedure

A breast lift is usually carried out under general anaesthetic though occasionally if only a small area is affected a local anaesthetic may suffice. During the procedure the nipple and areola are repositioned higher on the breast and an incision from this point downwards and outwards meets an incision along the underside of the breast. The excess skin is removed and the skin is stitched around the areola and down to the lower crease at the bottom of the breast.

A variation of the technique, used when less skin is too be removed, involves cutting around the areola and then another circular incision about the first thus removing a doughnut shaped area of skin, the outer circle is then reattached to the areola. This procedure is referred to as a Benelli or doughnut lift.

Recovery

Swelling and discomfort should be reduced after a day or two, with stitches being removed after a week. Normal levels of activity should be regained within two weeks and strenuous activity possible after a month or so. Scars will fade over time achieving their final look after about one year.

Risks

Incisions risk bleeding and infection. Temporary or permanent loss of feeling is possible in affected area. Cosmetic risks include asymmetry nipple position and scaring: scaring will occur though it should be minimised by following the natural creases of the breast.

A guide to plastic surgery regulations in the Czech Republic

The Ministry of Health is responsible for the health policies of the Czech Republic. It oversees a number of institutions such as the Institute of Health Information and Statistics and the Drug and Technology Control Institute.

Registration of physicans is handled by the Czech Medical Chamber, which is independant of government. The Chamber publishes the ethical code that physicians in the Czech Republic must abide by, the code is enforced by the Disiplinary Council. The Chamber is also responsible for registering recognized surgical specialists such as plastic surgeons.

Plastic surgeons must belong to the Society for Plastic Surgery (Společnost plastická chirurgie). The society is currently reorganizing its membership structure, allowing full membership only to specialists in Plastic Surgery: At present the society is open to surgeons in related fields such as Otolaryngology. Once membership is restructured the Society plans to list its membership online.

The Czech Society for Aesthetic Surgery is a younger organization whose membership is focused on cosmetic surgeons. The society has an online list of its members, all of whom are full plastic surgeons.
