REAL breast lift does more than reduce size—it restores firmness to sagging breasts.
Normal breast
Before REAL breast surgery, examinations are used to assess breast shape, discomfort, and the appropriate surgical method in detail.
Grade I ptosis
The nipple is level with the inframammary fold or less than 1 cm below it
Grade II ptosis
The nipple is about 1–3 cm below the inframammary fold but remains above the lowest edge of the breast tissue
Grade III ptosis
The nipple is more than 3 cm below the inframammary fold and points fully downward.

Breast augmentation
Implant-based augmentation can raise the nipple and areola by about 1–2 cm.
Breast lift
Through an areolar incision, the nipple–areola complex is repositioned appropriately. When the upper breast lacks volume, sagging tissue is lifted and secured to create a balanced contour.
Augmentation with breast lift
An implant increases breast volume while the lift repositions the nipple–areola complex.

Preoperative examination
Preoperative testing is essential to surgical safety. A chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, and blood tests are necessary steps for safe anesthesia. The results help assess liver, heart, and kidney function and identify lung disease, anemia, or other concerns. These examinations determine whether the patient's condition is suitable for surgery and general anesthesia and confirm their current health and previous examination findings.
Ask for details
Surgery
Before surgery, you will complete an informed consent form and receive detailed postoperative instructions. You will then have a final consultation with the lead surgeon to review the plan before the operation begins. The procedure follows a multidisciplinary approach, with plastic surgeons from the relevant specialties and continuous real-time monitoring by a dedicated anesthesia team.
Ask for details
Postoperative recovery and inpatient care
After surgery, every patient is closely monitored in the recovery room until stable. Hospital admission may be required when necessary. Anesthesiologists, nurses, and medical staff monitor the patient throughout, while REAL's safety system remains fully active to support a sound postoperative recovery.
Ask for details
Care after discharge
To reduce postoperative swelling and promote a faster recovery after discharge, REAL provides a personalized recovery program with attentive follow-up care.

Q&A
Can the breasts become larger again after breast reduction?
Surgery performed before breast development is complete carries a higher chance of requiring another procedure; surgery after full development is less likely to need revision. Normal changes such as weight gain, aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weaning can still alter breast size and shape.
Can I breastfeed after breast reduction?
Breast reduction does not necessarily prevent breastfeeding. However, milk is produced by glandular tissue and travels through ducts to the nipple. Removing tissue directly beneath the nipple can create internal scar tissue and may increase the risk of severe mastitis, so surgery is generally recommended after breastfeeding is complete.
Will there be a large scar?
Because the skin must be incised, some scarring is unavoidable. Careful scar placement and consistent scar care help it fade. Once the wound has largely healed, scar ointment may be used, and laser treatment can begin about three months after surgery for gradual improvement.
How much can the breasts be reduced?
The achievable reduction varies with each patient's breast condition. The aim is the greatest safe reduction without compromising function.
