Procedures
A breast lift is an operation for women who are happy with the size of their breasts but not with their shape or firmness. No breast tissue is removed — the gland is reshaped, excess skin is reduced, and the areola moves to a new position.
About the procedure
After breastfeeding, more significant weight loss, or through natural ageing, the breasts lose their firmness and begin to sag. A breast lift restores a firm, symmetrical shape and improves the overall projection of the breast — without removing any breast tissue. Your breasts remain your own, only firmer and sitting higher.
In a breast lift, no breast tissue is removed — the gland is simply reshaped into its new form. Excess skin is reduced, and the areola is made smaller and placed in a new, higher position. The result is improved overall projection of the breast: a firm, symmetrical shape.
The surgeon chooses the technique and course of the operation individually, taking into account breast size and the desired result. A breast lift can also be combined with breast augmentation using silicone implants — both in a single operation.
Before the procedure
A thorough consultation with the surgeon comes first: they assess the shape, firmness, and symmetry of your breasts and the position of the areolas. The surgeon explains the course of the operation, the placement of the incisions, the aftercare regimen, and the possible risks — and together you discuss whether to combine the lift with implants. The consultation is free and carries no obligation.
The procedure
The procedure is performed in an operating theatre under sterile conditions, under general anaesthesia. The operation takes approximately 2.5 hours and involves an overnight stay at the clinic.
You sleep through the entire operation under general anaesthesia, in the care of an anaesthetist — you feel no pain during the procedure.
The surgeon most often makes three incisions: around the nipple, from there down to the fold beneath the breast, and horizontally along the inframammary fold. The exact placement is chosen individually, based on breast size and the desired result.
No breast tissue is removed — the gland is reshaped into its new form. The surgeon reduces the excess skin, makes the areola smaller, and places it in a new, higher position.
At the end of the operation, the wounds are closed with fine stitches and covered with a sterile dressing.
After the operation you stay at the clinic in post-operative care for 1 day (overnight). The next day the surgeon changes the dressings and discharges you into home care.
Aftercare
Day 0–1
You spend the night after the operation at the clinic in post-operative care. The next day the surgeon changes the dressings and discharges you into home care.
Week 1
Take it easy. Avoid sunbathing and freezing environments — the breasts are swollen, bruised, and tender.
Week 2
Swelling, bruising, and tenderness usually subside, and you can return to work.
Weeks 4–6
You keep wearing the special elastic bra. For the full 6 weeks, avoid sport, heavier physical exertion, and lifting heavy objects — and do not sleep on your stomach.
Months 2–3
Once healed, the breasts gradually settle into their final shape — the result is therefore assessed only after the swelling has fully subsided.
Follow-up check-ups are arranged individually with your surgeon. Healing varies from person to person — always pace your return to everyday activities according to your surgeon's advice.
Time, breastfeeding, and weight changes can rob the breasts of their shape. A breast lift gives it back.
Pricing
The price is final and covers all costs associated with the operation, including 12% VAT.
The price includes general anaesthesia, the procedure itself, an overnight stay at the clinic, and follow-up check-ups. A no-obligation consultation beforehand is free.
These prices apply to procedures from 1 January 2027. If your procedure is booked for 2026, the price quoted when you booked still applies.
Full price list of all proceduresPossible complications
After the operation, expect swelling, bruising, and breast tenderness. These effects usually disappear within 2 weeks.
As with any operation, complications may rarely occur — a haematoma (a collection of blood), a seroma (a build-up of tissue fluid), infection, or impaired wound healing, most often where the scars beneath the breast meet. The risk is reduced by a gentle surgical technique, the elastic bra, and following the aftercare regimen.
A breast lift is performed under general anaesthesia, so the related pre-operative examinations are required. We will explain everything you need at your consultation.
To reduce excessive bleeding, do not take any medicines containing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) — such as Acylpyrin, Aspirin, or Anopyrin — for about 2 weeks before the operation.

A week ago I had a breast lift and reduction and liposuction of my abdomen and hips. Dr. Novák operated on me. I am completely satisfied, the operation went perfectly and the doctor is incredibly kind, human, funny .. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
