Discover below our breast lift results and before-and-after photos, featuring procedures performed by plastic surgeon Dr. Nelissen.

Are you concerned about sagging or drooping breasts? A breast lift (mastopexy) can help restore the shape, firmness and contour of your breasts.

Depending on your wishes, as well as the shape and volume of your breasts, several options are available:

Breast lift with implants: A breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation to add volume, correct asymmetry or restore shape to sagging breasts. We offer both the traditional breast lift technique and the innovative Preservé™ technique.
Breast lift without implants: For women who prefer not to have breast implants. In selected cases, this can be combined with Dr. Nelissen’s unique signature technique: the breast lift with autofilling, which uses your own breast tissue instead of an implant to restore or add volume.
Breast lift following breast implant removal or replacement.

What can you expect from a breast lift?

The final result varies from person to person and depends on several factors, including:

The elasticity and quality of your skin.
The amount and distribution of your natural breast tissue.
The degree of skin and breast sagging.
The surgical technique selected.

The breast lift before-and-after photos below will give you an idea of the results that may be achieved.

During an extensive personal consultation, we take the time to discuss your wishes and expectations. We will also show you additional before-and-after photos of patients with a similar body shape and starting situation. This will help you develop the most realistic possible expectations of what a breast lift could achieve for you.

1. Preservé™ breast lift with implants

First, you will find a selection of before-and-after photos showcasing the latest breast lift (mastopexy) surgical technique: the Preservé™ breast lift (a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift).

Since early 2025, Dr. Nelissen has been focusing on this technique, which offers significant advantages over the traditional breast lift with implants.

The Preservé™ technique preserves as much tissue and muscle as possible. When combined with a breast lift, this offers several benefits:

Preserving nipple sensation and glandular function (including the potential to breastfeed)
A more stable and longer-lasting result, thanks to the natural support provided by intact ligaments (the internal bra effect)
Implants up to one-third smaller (cc) can achieve the same aesthetic result as a traditional breast lift with augmentation
Smaller scars and a faster, more comfortable recovery
A natural, subtle and harmonious result, in proportion with your body

2. Breast lift without implants (without breast augmentation)

Here you will find before-and-after photos of a breast lift (mastopexy) without breast implants.

You will also find before-and-after photos showcasing Dr. Nelissen’s unique signature technique: the breast lift with autofilling, which uses your own tissue to add volume instead of breast implants.

3. Classic breast lift with implants (with the traditional technique)

Here we showcase before-and-after photos of the traditional breast lift (mastopexy) combined with breast augmentation (using implants).

4. Implant exchange, combined with a breast lift

Replacing or removing breast implants can also be combined with a breast lift. This procedure is often recommended to address excess skin following breast implant removal or replacement. Below, you will find a link to a selection of before-and-after photos of breast lift surgery combined with implant exchange.

5. Breast lift scars

Finally, we also show a selection of photos illustrating the scars following breast lift surgery.
