Breast lift in Düsseldorf
A breast lift reshapes the breast after pregnancies or weight loss, if you wish also in combination with a breast augmentation or breast reduction. You can discuss which incision is an option for you in a consultation with our doctors in Düsseldorf.
Breast lift in Düsseldorf: consultation, surgery and aftercare in one place
Consultation room
Your breast lift takes place at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the follow-up appointments afterwards. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has its own operating theatres and patient rooms: you are advised and operated on in the same place where you also spend the nights after the procedure and where you return for aftercare.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern business district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on the grounds. This also makes appointments after the operation easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area.
02
For what reasons is a breast lift carried out?
Common reasons for wanting a breast lift are:
Changes to the breast after a pregnancy
major weight loss
heavy physical strain
The female breast changes over the course of life through various influences. Pregnancies or major weight loss can change the relationship between the skin envelope of the breast and the fatty and glandular tissue it contains. In a breast lift, the breast is adapted to this changed relationship and reshaped.
03
Consultation and planning before a breast lift
As every breast is different, a breast lift is planned individually and carefully for each patient. To this end we offer you a detailed consultation beforehand with our doctors, in which your ideas and wishes are the focus.
There are various techniques for a breast lift. Which one is an option depends on your ideas, the nature of your breast and medical considerations. Your doctor will discuss with you in a personal conversation how the incision can run and what result is aimed for with it, and will plan the procedure together with you.

Breast lift: the procedure at Klinik am Seestern
A breast lift is usually carried out under general anaesthesia. A stay of usually 2 nights is necessary for care after the operation. After the breast lift, your body needs 4 to 6 weeks of rest.
This is how a breast lift proceeds at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the consultation to the result:
Step 1
Beforehand

Step 2
Day of surgery
The procedure. The operation takes about 3 hours and is carried out under general anaesthesia. Afterwards you usually stay in the clinic for 2 nights.
Step 3
The first few days
Rest. Arm mobility may be restricted; tightness, bruising and pain are possible. The discomfort can usually be relieved with medication and subsides after a few days.
Step 4

Step 5
Weeks 4 to 6
Support bra, then sport. Until then you wear a support bra, which supports the new shape during healing, and refrain from sport and physical exertion.
Step 6
Until week 8

Aims of a breast lift
Firmer breast through removal of excess skin
Lifting of the breast and balancing of asymmetries
Support for an upright posture
06
How do the different breast lift methods work?
The aim of a breast lift is to change the breast in shape, firmness and size. Depending on the size and nature of the breast, the doctor chooses the suitable surgical technique. The techniques differ essentially in the incision. By removing excess, slackened skin and, where necessary, repositioning the nipple, the breast is given a new shape. In making the incision, care is taken to keep the scars as small as possible. For the first 4 to 6 weeks, wearing a support bra is necessary in order to support the new shape of the breast during healing.
Methods compared
The incisions compared
Which incision is suitable depends on how much the breast sags and how much skin has to be removed.
01O-incisionaround the areola
The incision runs around the areola; at the colour transition the scar is often inconspicuous later. It is suitable for mild sagging, when the nipple only needs to be raised slightly.
Excess skinslight
Scar
around the areola
To bear in mind
Only a little skin can be removed.
02I-incisionvertical, “Lollipop”
A vertical incision down to the inframammary fold is added to the incision around the areola. This allows significantly more skin to be removed and the shape to be modelled more precisely, which is why the I-incision is the basis of many breast lifts.
Excess skinmedium
Scar
around the areola and vertically down to the inframammary fold
To bear in mind
The vertical scar remains the more visible part.
03T-incisionanchor, inverted T
In addition, a horizontal incision runs in the inframammary fold, where the scar is usually covered by the bra. The T-incision is an option for a large excess of skin or when the breast needs to be clearly reshaped.

What does a breast lift cost in Düsseldorf? Costs and financing
The costs of a breast lift depend on the surgical method and your individual starting situation. If you also want an asymmetry corrected or a breast augmentation, the procedure becomes more involved and therefore more expensive. After your consultation we will draw up a no-obligation treatment offer for you. Financing is possible through our financing partner; you can find out more under Financing your treatment.
How long is the stay in the clinic after a breast lift?
You can usually leave the clinic two days after the operation.
What accompanying symptoms should I expect after a breast lift?
In the first few days, arm mobility may be restricted. Tightness, bruising and pain are also possible. The discomfort can usually be relieved with medication and mostly subsides after a few days.
What do I need to bear in mind after a breast lift?
We recommend that you wear a support bra for the first four to six weeks after the operation and avoid sport and physical exertion. In the first eight weeks after the operation, please refrain from sunbathing and sunbeds.
What effects can a breast lift have on a later pregnancy and my ability to breastfeed?
A pregnancy is generally possible after a breast lift. The ability to breastfeed may be restricted under certain circumstances.
Is it necessary to reposition the nipple in a breast lift?
Not always. Whether the nipple has to be repositioned depends on how much tissue is removed. With a large excess of tissue, repositioning is usually necessary so that the nipple suits the new shape of the breast. We will discuss individually in a personal consultation what is an option in your case.

I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Very beautiful clinic, wonderful reception and great service. The consultation with the doctor was very comprehensive and she addressed all my questions, which is all you could wish for as a patient / customer. I will definitely have my treatment done here.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.

I was welcomed very nicely. The doctor was also very nice and answered all my questions. She also showed understanding that one does not decide straight away.
