When the breasts lose volume over the years, many sufferers also lose the sensuality and femininity that we associate with well-rounded breasts. The shape of the breasts can also change unfavorably after pregnancy or weight loss. It is then possible to surgically lift the breasts.
During a breast lift in Stuttgart, Dr. Schumacher removes excess skin and tissue and then reshapes the breast. In addition, the nipples are often lifted and the areolas reduced in size. Using modern surgical techniques, the ability to breastfeed can usually be maintained. The aim is to sculpt a well-formed breast that blends in harmoniously with the rest of the body.

When does a breast lift make sense?
A breast lift may be advisable if your breasts have sagged due to age and you no longer feel comfortable with the shape of your breasts. Pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss can also lead to unfavourable changes in breast shape. From a medical point of view, a breast lift is recommended if the sagging breast causes discomfort, for example in the under-breast area.
What breast lift methods are available?
Depending on the extent of the breast lift, different incision techniques are possible. The exact procedure of the breast lift in Stuttgart and the costs can vary accordingly.
If the degree of sagging is low, a ring-shaped incision combined with a barely visible vertical incision from the areola towards the under-breast fold crease is sufficient to better distribute the tension.
Dr. Schumacher in Stuttgart achieves particularly lasting and aesthetic results with the "inner bra technique". This involves shaping the glandular tissue into a firm unit and stabilizing the breast from the inside.
It may also be necessary to reposition the nipples or reduce the size of the areolas in order to create a harmonious overall appearance.
If desired, the breast lift in Stuttgart can be combined with a discreet breast augmentation. An implant insertion or augmentation with autologous fat can be considered for this. Both can be taken into account when we calculate the price of your breast lift.


How does a breast lift in Stuttgart work?
In a preliminary consultation at our practice in Stuttgart, Dr. Schumacher will advise you in detail on the options, risks and costs of a breast lift. He will discuss with you the extent to which you would like to have your breasts lifted and which surgical technique is best suited for this. Your breast lift surgery in Stuttgart will then be planned individually for you.
The breast lift in Stuttgart is performed on an inpatient basis under general anesthesia. Dr. Schumacher first makes the necessary skin incisions and then removes the excess skin and tissue. The breast is reshaped from the remaining glandular tissue. If the nipple has to be relocated, this is done together with the blood vessels and nerves so that the ability to breastfeed is preserved as far as possible.
After your breast lift in Stuttgart, you will wear a compression bra for around 6 weeks to support the results of the treatment. We carry out regular follow-up examinations in Stuttgart to closely monitor the healing process. We can then assess the final result after 2 - 3 months.
Can a breast lift in Stuttgart be combined with other operations?
Yes, a breast lift is often performed in combination with a breast reduction or breast augmentation. Women with small breasts in particular, who have lost breast volume after pregnancy, often seek a combination of a breast lift and breast augmentation to achieve an overall beautiful treatment result.
What needs to be considered after a breast lift?
After your breast lift in Stuttgart, you should take a break for several days and wear the prescribed compression bra carefully. We recommend that you sleep in a supine position and avoid overhead postures and strain on the breast region.
In the first few weeks, you should avoid direct sunlight, going to the sauna or swimming pool and physically strenuous activities. Your ability to work and socialize is usually fully restored after 1 - 2 weeks.
Are there any risks associated with a breast lift?
No operation is completely free of risks. Complications such as wound healing disorders, infections, sensitivity disorders or unsightly scarring can never be completely ruled out, even with a breast lift. In general, however, a breast lift is a routine procedure in plastic and aesthetic surgery. In Stuttgart, you will be treated by Dr. Lars Schumacher, an experienced specialist with a focus on breast surgery, so that you can enjoy a high level of treatment safety.
How much does a breast lift cost in Stuttgart?
In our practice in Stuttgart, the treatment costs for a breast lift depend on the extent of the treatment. Dr. Schumacher will be happy to provide you with a transparent cost breakdown for your breast lift in Stuttgart in a personal consultation.
Frequently asked questions about breast lift in Stuttgart
Scars cannot be completely avoided during a breast lift. However, Dr. Schumacher deliberately works with scar-saving incision techniques in Stuttgart in order to guarantee you an aesthetically pleasing result. Depending on the surgical method chosen, the incisions are usually made in a ring around the areola and from there to the underbust crease. If a larger breast lift is planned during breast surgery, a horizontal incision within the breast crease may also be necessary.
After the breast lift in Stuttgart, we recommend a break from sport of around 4 - 6 weeks. Light activities such as walking can often be resumed earlier. Dr. Schumacher will discuss with you before the operation which break in your preferred sport is advisable.
We generally achieve lasting results with a breast lift. However, you should bear in mind that the natural ageing process continues. This can cause the skin to sag again at a later stage, although this is usually much less pronounced. The shape of the breast can also change again as a result of pregnancy and significant weight fluctuations.
The first results are visible immediately after the operation. It takes about 3 weeks for the superficial wound healing to be completed. After 2 - 3 months, we can then assess the final result of your breast lift in Stuttgart.
After giving birth, we recommend waiting at least 8 months after weaning before considering a breast lift.
As a rule, no tissue is removed during a breast lift in Stuttgart. The volume of the breast therefore remains unchanged, but the breast may appear smaller after the procedure due to the reduced surface area.
The effects depend on the degree of breast lift. If only the nipples are visually repositioned, the ability to breastfeed usually remains unaffected. If, on the other hand, the breasts are very saggy and empty, a lift is required, which usually involves cutting the milk ducts. Dr. Schumacher will be happy to discuss with you personally the extent to which a breast lift will affect your ability to breastfeed in your individual case.
After pregnancy, you should wait about eight months after completing breastfeeding before having a breast lift. Ideally, your family planning should be complete at the time of the breast lift. If you have lost weight, the best time for a breast lift is as soon as you have reached your target weight.
It is not possible to make a general statement about the sensation of pain after a breast lift, as everyone perceives pain differently. In addition to swelling, slight pain may occur, but this can be easily treated with standard pain medication.
Yes, a breast lift can usually be repeated if necessary.
Für Ihren stationären Aufenthalt zur Bruststraffung in Stuttgart empfehlen wir, eine kleine Reisetasche oder einen handlichen Trolley mit allen wichtigen persönlichen Dingen vorzubereiten. Packen Sie bequeme, weite Kleidung ein, die leicht an- und auszuziehen ist. Ein vorne zu öffnendes Pyjama-Oberteil ist besonders praktisch, da Sie Ihre Arme nach dem Eingriff nur eingeschränkt bewegen können. Auch Ihre gewohnten Hygieneartikel sowie Ihr Smartphone inklusive Ladegerät sollten nicht fehlen. Alles, was Sie persönlich zum Wohlfühlen benötigen, dürfen Sie natürlich ebenfalls mitbringen – jedoch bitte in einem angemessenen Umfang. Aus Sicherheitsgründen bitten wir Sie, auf das Mitbringen von Schmuck, Uhren oder anderen Wertgegenständen zu verzichten. Piercings müssen vor der Operation vollständig entfernt werden. Bitte verwenden Sie am Tag der Operation keine Körperlotionen, Öle oder Pflegeprodukte. Diese könnten das Anzeichnen der Operationsbereiche auf der Haut erschweren und die sterile Vorbereitung beeinflussen.
