Breast uplift (mastopexy) at Spire Thames Valley Hospital

At Spire Thames Valley Hospital, we take pride in providing a high standard of private hospital care to our patients in the Thames Valley, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Windsor areas.

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 only a 10 minute drive from both the M4 and M40 motorways and we’re less than half an hour from central London by train. We also have free on-site parking available for you and your visitors.

Your consultations

One of our experienced cosmetic surgeons will be able to offer you an initial consultation within a few days of your enquiry.

Your appointment will take place in a consultation room. This will give us a chance to find out about your medical history and reasons for wanting the treatment. This also gives you a chance to ask questions about the surgery and aftercare. We’ll tell you about:

• Any tests you’ll need before your surgery
• The procedure, the different techniques available and the anaesthetic
• Any potential complications and risks and how they may affect you
• The cooling-off period to allow you time to fully consider whether to go ahead with the surgery
• The personalised aftercare you’ll receive

You may also need to have a pre-operative assessment before the procedure.

Some people can return home on the same day as their surgery, depending on the time of day you have your operation. If you need to stay overnight, you’ll have your own private en-suite room. All of our rooms have the comforts and conveniences you’d expect at home, including:

• A TV
• A window
• An armchair
• An en-suite bathroom with towels
• A lockable bedside table

On the day of your operation, you’ll meet your anaesthetist and the surgical team.

Before the procedure, you’ll be given a general anaesthetic, so you’ll be asleep. The operation should take between one to three hours.

Your surgeon will make cuts (incisions) to lift and reshape your breasts. They’ll use the technique you agreed during your consultation.

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:
