If you thought that it was only younger women who had breast lift cosmetic surgery to correct sagging breasts as a result of age, childbirth or breastfeeding, you may be surprised to find out that UK cosmetic surgeons report that an increasing number of older women aged 60 years upwards are undertaking a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures, including breast lift surgery.  As we are all living many years longer than our forbearers, the quest to stay fit and younger looking into our senior years is becoming ever more popular.

No matter how fit we are and how much effort we put into staying fit and healthy, the effects of gravity will eventually take their toll on our breasts, causing them to sag and droop.  To counter these problems, women in the UK go out and buy products from an army of breast firming creams, collagen treatments and skin conditioning creams to try to hold back the effects of time.  However, eventually, even these measures cannot be enough, and acceptance of sagging breasts along with the need to wear a good supporting bra to maintain breast shape is the only non surgical option available.  However, cosmetic surgery involving a breast augmentation or breast lift surgery can return your breasts to their more youthful appearance.

Of available plastic surgery options, women can elect to have a breast enlargement if they are willing to have an increased breast size; if a woman wishes to maintain her present breast size (as many women do) breast lift surgery will be the only surgical option.  Having made that decision, the next part of the process will be to find an expert plastic surgeon who is suitably specialised in carrying out your chosen procedure.

With so many stories in the press of poor cosmetic surgery procedures of late, the next primary concern of any individual seeking a breast uplift will be to select a suitably expert cosmetic surgeon and provider.  So what best practices should you follow to ensure that you select an expert and reputable provider, and to help make sure that your breast lift is as successful as you would like it to be? First and foremost, a recommendation from a friend is a good place to start, if you know someone who has had the procedure you are seeking. Secondly, The British Association of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) recommends that you should ask a suitably qualified medical doctor for advice.  If you don't want to go to your GP (although this is always good practice) the Landauer Cosmetic Surgery Group can help you.

Unlike other cosmetic surgery providers, Landauer offer a free telephone consultation with a fully qualified Consultant cosmetic surgeon so that you can find out whether breast lift surgery is for you, from the comfort of your own home.  If you decide to go ahead, Landauer will refer you to your nearest Consultant Surgeon who is particularly experienced and qualified in the procedure you have chosen.  What is more, Landauer cosmetic surgeon must all be registered with BAPRAS or BAAPS which means that they must have spent at least six years working within the NHS at the level of a Consultant surgeon; this means that you can have confidence in the expertise of the surgeon that the Landauer Group directs you to.
