Breast uplift (mastopexy) at Spire Leicester Hospital

Spire Leicester Hospital is a long-established private hospital providing comprehensive treatments and care to our patients across the East Midlands and beyond. You’ll be able to choose from a team of experienced cosmetic surgeons. Each is experienced in techniques to lift and reshape breasts, achieving results without changing their size. You’ll have fast and easy access to an appointment with one of our consultants so you can make the decision that’s right for you.

Getting here

We're located 7 miles from junction 21 of the M1 and easily accessible from the A47 and A6. We’re a 15 minute cab ride from Leicester railway station.

We also have free on-site parking available for you and your visitors.

Your consultations

Once you’ve made an enquiry, we can arrange your first appointment within a few days.

You’ll meet one of our experienced cosmetic surgeons in a private consultation room. They’ll ask you about your medical history and why you’d like to have breast uplift surgery. There’ll be an opportunity for you to ask any questions regarding your treatment and recovery. You can also find out more about:

• What’s involved, including the anaesthetic and any risks or complications
• Tests that you may need before surgery
• How long it’ll take to get back to normal
• What support is available

There’s a cooling-off period for two weeks after your appointment. This gives you time to make sure you want to proceed with surgery.

Before you go ahead with the operation, you may need to have a pre-operative assessment.

You'll stay overnight in one of our private en-suite rooms. All of our rooms have:

• Nurse call system
• TV/Radio
• Telephone and WiFi
• En-suite bathroom
• Wardrobe space and a small locker
• Armchair

Here’s what to expect after you arrive for your breast uplift surgery:

• You’ll see your surgeon again and meet your anaesthetist
• Once in theatre, you’ll be given a general anaesthetic so you’ll be asleep for the operation
• Your surgeon will carry out the operation to lift and reshape your breasts, using the technique previously agreed at your consultation
• Your operation will take around one to three hours

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:
