Like the face, the body changes as we get older. For women, after breast feeding or with general ageing, the skin of the décolletage and cleavage becomes more wrinkled, accumulates pigment, loses firmness and the shape of the breast collapses as the breast tissue descends.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the PRP Breast Lift?
The PRP Breast Lift is a non-surgical procedure that helps lift the breasts by tightening the skin of the décolletage and the cleavage using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
The PRP Breast Lift does NOT add volume to the breast and so does not substitute for surgical breast implants or a surgical breast lift.
What can the PRP Breast Lift do for me?
The aim of the PRP Breast Lift is to replicate the effect of a well-made bra; provide some lift and cleavage.
Women who are looking to give their breasts a more youthful appearance but without a dramatic change in size are ideal candidates for the PRP Breast Lift.
Will the PRP Breast Lift increase my breast size?
If you want to significantly increase the size of your breasts, you will need a surgical breast augmentation by an appropriately qualified and trained plastic surgeon.
In those women who have already had breast implants and now see “rippling” due to volume loss around the implant, PRP Breast Lift can soften the sharp transition between the implant and the surrounding skin.
How long does the procedure take?
Each procedure takes around 60-90 minutes which includes the consultation, consent and the actual treatment.
The PRP Breast Lift does not involve the use of general anaesthetic.
How long do results last?
Each PRP procedure can last for about 9 months up to 18 months.
We generally advise at least two procedures initially, about 2 months apart, and then an annual maintenance treatment.
What are the possible side effects?
There have been no major adverse reactions reported. The common side effects are similar to other commonly available cosmetic treatments:
- Mild irritation & itching (depending on the sensitivity of your skin)
- Mild swelling
- Bruising (this is caused by the reaction of your skin to the physical injection)
