Most women will have a breast firming cream, lotion or potion in their armoury of beauty products, to try to maintain the elasticity of the breast skin and reduce the risks of developing drooping breasts. However, no matter how excellent the products are that we buy there comes a time where lotions, creams and potions are simply not enough and this is especially true where our breasts are concerned. If we are serious about our quest to defy the effects of the passage of time on our bodies, more drastic measures are needed once we have developed sagging breasts and the fibrous tissue that supports a youthful breast size and shape has broken down. 

Provided that we want to reverse these effects of time and gravity enough and are willing to pay for it, we can elect to have a form of cosmetic surgery called a breast lift which is designed to lift our breasts and visibly return them (almost) to the way the used to be in our teens and twenties.  It would seem that as cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly 'socially acceptable' and affordable, growing numbers of women in the UK are resorting to the surgeon's knife and undergoing breast lift surgery every year.  If this is a choice you decide to make or at least actively consider, then the next step is perhaps more difficult.  Choosing your cosmetic surgeon!

The British Association of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) recommends that people seeking cosmetic surgery should speak with their GP first.  This is always a good idea, as your GP can counsel you and help you to reach your decision about whether breast uplift surgery is for you or not.  However, you may find that some GPs are unable to make a named recommendation to a private plastic surgeon, which is not surprising as many GPs may not have detailed knowledge of cosmetic surgery or dont know of a local surgeon who is best qualified to carry out your procedure.  If you find that this is the case for you, don't worry - expert advice is at hand.

Unlike other plastic surgery providers, Landauer offer a free telephone consultation with a fully qualified Consultant cosmetic surgeon so that you can find out whether mastopexy 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 plastic surgeons 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.
