Spire Fylde Coast Hospital offers comprehensive private hospital treatments and care to patients from Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre and the North West of England. We have a choice of cosmetic surgeons who are experienced in breast uplift techniques to reshape breasts without altering their size.

We provide consultations throughout the week with expert advice to help you make the right decision for you. Plus, our personalised expert aftercare will help you get back to your usual lifestyle as quickly as possible.

The hospital also provides free, monthly information evenings where you can hear presentations from our specialist cosmetic surgeons on the procedures available and discuss your options.

Your consultations

Once you’ve made an enquiry, we can arrange for you to meet with one of our cosmetic surgeons in a private consultation room – usually within a few days. There’ll be a chance to discuss your reasons for having treatment, as well as your medical history. Your consultant will explain what will happen during the procedure, including the type of anaesthetic you'll have. They may also need you to have a pre-operative assessment.

You can also find out more about:

• The risks and complications
• Any tests you may need to have before surgery
• How the medical team will support your recovery and aftercare

Your consultant will explain that there’s no pressure to make any decisions during the appointment. Even if you’re confident you want to go ahead, there’s plenty of time to change your mind during the two week cooling-off period.

When you arrive at Spire Fylde Coast Hospital, you’ll meet your surgical team and anaesthetist before your operation. You’ll have a general anaesthetic for the procedure, which means you’ll be asleep throughout.

The operation usually takes between one and three hours. It involves the surgeon making cuts (incisions) in order to lift and reshape your breasts. They’ll use the techniques you agreed during your consultation.

You may be able to go home on the same day as your surgery but, if you need to stay overnight, you’ll have your own comfortable, en-suite room that provides all the home comforts you need, including:

• TV
• Telephone
• En-suite
• Free WiFi

After surgery, you’ll probably feel some pain or discomfort – our nursing team will give you painkillers to help you with this.

Although everybody’s different and you should always follow your consultant’s advice, here’s a typical recovery timeline for breast uplift surgery:
