In Salzburg and Pixendorf (Tullnerfeld), Dr. Spiegl is an experienced specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, working with state-of-the-art techniques and the highest level of precision.
Reasons for a Breast Lift
A breast lift in Salzburg or Pixendorf may be the appropriate choice if:
- the breasts have sagged following pregnancy or breastfeeding,
- there is significant loss of elasticity due to weight reduction,
- the nipples have descended and point downward,
- the altered breast shape negatively affects aesthetic perception or posture.
Many patients report a renewed sense of lightness, improved body awareness, and significantly increased satisfaction with their appearance after undergoing a breast lift.
The Breast Lift Procedure with Dr. Spiegl
The procedure is performed in both Salzburg and Lower Austria according to the highest medical standards.
Consultation & Assessment
If you are interested in a breast lift, you are welcome to schedule a consultation with Dr. Spiegl. During the initial appointment, all questions are addressed without time pressure, comprehensive advice is provided, and photographic documentation is created. Please bring all available medical records related to your medical history.
After receiving the cost estimate (approximately €6,600 including anesthesia and hospital stay) and deciding to proceed with surgery, a surgical date will be scheduled. According to Austrian law, a minimum of two weeks must pass between the informed consent consultation and the signing of the surgical consent.
Incision Techniques
Depending on the initial findings and the desired result, different techniques may be used:
- Periareolar lift: incision around the areola
- L-shaped incision: vertical incision from the nipple downward
- T-shaped incision: additional horizontal incision in the inframammary fold
In cases of more pronounced sagging, an anchor or T-shaped technique is often required. This results in scars around the areola, vertically toward the inframammary fold, and within the fold itself. In general, breast incisions heal very well, and scars are typically discreet.
Depending on the initial situation, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants or autologous fat transfer if additional volume is desired.
Day of Surgery
During the procedure, excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple is repositioned to a harmonious location. A breast lift is generally performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 1–2 hours.
Aftercare
After surgery, a special support bra aids healing. This bra should be worn for a total of 6 weeks – during the first 3–4 weeks both day and night. Follow-up appointments in Salzburg or Pixendorf ensure optimal healing progression.
Patients are usually able to return to work after about one week. Sports activities may typically be resumed after 3–4 weeks. The final result becomes visible after approximately 3–6 months.
The Positive Effects of a Breast Lift
A breast lift can positively influence both physical appearance and self-confidence.
The procedure performed by Dr. Spiegl results in:
- a more youthful and firmer breast shape,
- more harmonious body proportions,
- repositioning of the nipples into a natural alignment,
- enhanced self-confidence and a positive body image.
Modern incision techniques are designed to ensure that scars are placed as discreetly as possible and fade significantly over time.
Costs of a Breast Lift in Salzburg & Pixendorf
The cost of a breast lift with Dr. Spiegl starts at approximately €6,600.
The final price depends on:
- the duration of the hospital stay,
- the extent of the procedure,
