Treatment breast
TrustScore 4.8 | 54 reviews
Breast sagging is a common concern, especially after pregnancy, weight changes or as skin elasticity naturally decreases with ageing. Some women also experience congenital breast ptosis, where the breasts develop in a drooping position from puberty. A breast lift, or mastopexy, offers a way to address these concerns by lifting and reshaping the breasts for a firmer, more youthful contour.
At Paul Wilson Aesthetics, Mr. Paul Wilson has extensive experience in breast lift surgery. He combines expert technique with a commitment to excellence, delivering natural, symmetrical results tailored to your individual needs.

About
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a plastic surgery that raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple. Tailored to each patient, the procedure restores a firmer, more elevated breast shape that complements their natural proportions.
This procedure works by tightening the surrounding skin, reshaping the breast mound and repositioning the nipple to a more youthful level. Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift does not aim to increase breast volume, but focuses on improving breast position, firmness and overall shape.
A breast lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other surgeries, such as breast augmentation, to enhance overall results. When used as part of a combined approach, it allows both shape and volume concerns to be addressed, resulting in a more balanced outcome.

What to expect
Every patient will have a comprehensive consultation with their surgeon to ensure they feel informed and confident before proceeding. Your surgeon will discuss your goals and assess factors such as breast drooping, loss of firmness, nipple position, and skin elasticity.
Your anatomy, skin quality, existing breast tissue and overall health will be carefully evaluated to determine the most appropriate surgical approach. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure, recovery, scarring and expected results.
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Procedure time depends on the degree of lift required and whether additional procedures, such as breast augmentation, are performed at the same time.
As the breasts have lost their natural elasticity, the only way to lift and reshape them is by removing sections of slack, redundant skin and reshaping the internal breast tissue. This process allows the breasts to be repositioned higher on the chest, resulting in a firmer, more youthful contour.
While some stretch marks may be removed during this process, most will remain, as only the excess skin required for lifting is removed.
Incisions are placed in carefully selected locations to allow the breast tissue to be reshaped and the nipple repositioned. These may be around the areola, vertically down the breast and sometimes within the breast crease, depending on the degree of lift required. Your surgeon will explain the exact incision pattern recommended for your anatomy.
Once excess skin has been removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted, and the nipple is repositioned to a more youthful, natural level. The aim is to restore firmness, improve breast shape and create a more elevated contour without necessarily increasing breast size.
Your surgeon will provide personalised advice on scar care once the incisions have healed. This may include silicone gel, moisturising products or gentle massage. Scar management will be reviewed during your follow-up appointments to support optimal long-term healing.
Recovery
Recovery varies between individuals and depends on the extent of surgery and your body’s natural healing response. The recovery process can vary for each patient; however, most patients can go home the day after surgery.
Swelling, bruising and tightness are normal in the early stages and can be managed with prescribed pain relief.
A supportive surgical or sports bra should be worn for several weeks to reduce swelling and support the newly lifted breast shape.
Most patients can return to driving within one week and return to work within two weeks, depending on how they feel and the nature of their role. Light exercise can usually be resumed within one month, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least six weeks.
Visible improvements become more apparent as swelling subsides. Scars will fade gradually and continue to soften and improve over 12 to 18 months.
You will receive detailed aftercare instructions and attend scheduled follow-up appointments so your surgeon can monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
Risks & complications
As with any surgical procedure, a breast lift carries certain risks. While complications are uncommon, it is important to be aware of potential risks, which may include:
Your surgeon will discuss all potential risks during your consultation, ensuring you are fully informed before deciding to proceed.
Fees
PRICES STRAT FROM
£9999
The cost of a breast lift in the UK varies depending on several factors, including the extent of lifting required, the surgical technique used and whether the procedure is combined with other treatments such as breast augmentation. Additional factors, such as surgical fees and anaesthesia, may also influence the final cost.
A personalised quote will be provided following your consultation and once your surgeon has determined the most appropriate treatment plan to achieve your goals.
FAQ
The results of a breast lift are long-lasting, but they cannot permanently prevent the effects of ageing, gravity, pregnancy or weight changes. Following a healthy lifestyle, maintaining a stable weight and wearing a well-fitted, supportive bra can all help preserve your results for many years.
Yes, a breast lift does leave scars, as the procedure requires removing excess skin and reshaping the breast. However, these scars typically fade significantly over 12 to 18 months. Your surgeon will place incisions as discreetly as possible and provide guidance on scar care to support optimal healing.
Yes, a breast lift can be combined with breast implants if you want to increase breast volume as well as improve shape and position. This combined approach is often recommended for women who have lost both fullness and firmness, allowing for a more comprehensive enhancement.
Most patients can return to driving within one week, to work within two weeks, and to light exercise within one month. Swelling gradually settles over several weeks, with full healing and scar maturation continuing for up to 12 to 18 months.
Many women can breastfeed after a breast lift because the procedure typically does not interfere with the milk ducts or glands. However, breastfeeding cannot be guaranteed, and outcomes may vary depending on individual anatomy and the extent of lift required. If you are planning future pregnancies, you should discuss this with your surgeon during your consultation.

Breast Augmentation
A natural increase in volume — restoring shape after hypomastia
Hypomastia is the medical term for naturally underdeveloped breast tissue. It’s a recognised developmental variation, not a flaw — but for many women it affects how comfortable and confident they feel in their own body.
This patient, a mum of two with a completed family, had thought about augmentation for several years. Her request was simple and one I hear often: a natural, modest increase in volume and improved shape — not a dramatic change. On examination she had reduced upper-pole fullness in both breasts with good underlying symmetry.
Rather than reaching for a number, we planned this properly. Measurements, 2D and 3D imaging morphed to her chosen implant, external sizers tried on in clinic, and a home rice test to let her feel the volume for herself. Her choice: a 275cc round, moderate-profile Mentor micro-textured implant, placed subfascially through an inframammary incision — a plan designed to add soft upper-pole fullness in proportion to her petite frame.
You can see in the lateral and oblique views how the goal was balance, not bulk.
The psychological side matters just as much. In appropriately assessed patients, augmentation for hypomastia is consistently associated with improvements in body image, self-confidence and quality of life — and that outcome means as much to me as the surgical one.

Results vary from person to person. This is educational and not a recommendation to undergo surgery — any decision should follow a personal consultation.

Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty: What’s the Hype?
Traditional rhinoplasty shaves the hump off the top of your bridge, then rebuilds the roof. DPR lowers the bridge from underneath — keeping your natural dorsum fully intact. 👃
Why people love it 💕
✅ More natural front view (no widening!)
✅ Preserves your dorsal aesthetic lines
✅ Fewer grafts needed
✅ Quicker recovery & less bruising 🤍
✅ Smoother long-term results
The fine print 📝
⚠️ Hump recurrence is the #1 risk
⚠️ Best for straight noses with small/medium humps
⚠️ Technically harder — surgeon experience is everything
⚠️ Rare risks: saddle nose, radix step-off, asymmetry
The hype is real — if you’re a candidate. Always consult a surgeon fluent in BOTH techniques, not just the trendy one. 🤍

Precision in motion. 🦴✨
Meet Paul Wilson — one of the rare surgeons holding dual qualifications in both dentistry and plastic surgery. That unique combination is on full display here, as Paul interprets dental imaging in real time while placing mandibular angle and chin implants.
Facial implant surgery is as much about artistry as it is anatomy. Having a deep understanding of the underlying bony architecture — the kind of knowledge that comes from a background in dentistry — allows for implant placement that’s tailored, precise, and harmonious with each patient’s natural facial structure.
From reading the CBCT scan on screen to refining the jawline and chin projection in the OR, every detail is considered. This is what dual expertise looks like in practice. 💙

Facial implants for jawline and chin enhancement should always be performed by a qualified surgeon following a thorough consultation. Individual results vary.

Gynaecomastia | Before & After
This procedure addresses excess fullness in the male chest caused by gland, fat, or a combination of both.
The aim is not simply to remove tissue, but to improve the overall chest shape for a balanced and natural appearance. As with any operation, success depends on choosing the right technique for the individual`s anatomy and careful surgical planning from the outset.
The initial result is just one stage of the process. Swelling gradually subsides, and the chest continues to refine as healing progresses.
Please take a moment to view the outcome.

A neck lift is designed to address laxity beneath the chin and along the jawline.
Some patients are less concerned with their face itself, and more with the way their neck has changed over time. Loss of definition, heavier tissue, or loose skin in this area can affect overall facial balance.
A neck lift focuses on restoring a more defined contour through careful surgical planning, with the aim of achieving a result that looks natural for the individual.
As with any procedure, suitability depends on anatomy, skin quality, and the changes being treated.
