How Much Is Breast Lift In Kenya

Patients who undergo breast lift surgery in Kenya frequently are seeking help as their breasts started sagging unnaturally (breast ptosis, droopiness). Breast lift usually can solve these problems by improving the size and shape of your breasts. Following breast lift, your breasts will be more proportional to the rest of your body, and clothes will fit you better, and you will see a more natural and youthful projection of your breasts.

In this article we”ll consider non surgical breast lift and breast surgery cost in kenya.

A Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a cosmetic procedure that elevates the breast by removing excess skin, reshaping it, and contouring the surrounding tissues like a push-up bra. Many women experience deflation of the breasts or a downward movement of the nipple and areola after pregnancy and breastfeeding or after weight loss. A breast lift helps restore the shape of the breasts after these changes.

A breast lift does not change the breast volume. It tightens the tissues around the breast tissue to lift it and contour the breast tissues into a better shape. During your consultation with AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, we will discuss different lift types with their scars.

We will also discuss the difference between breast lift alone vs. breast lift with implants. Patients that are unhappy with a previous breast lift surgery performed by another surgeon, may be interested in a breast revision procedure instead.

How To Lift Breasts Naturally?

There are a number of treatments that claim to lift breasts naturally.

Chest exercises: Targeted chest exercise is the best way to lift the breasts naturally. Although there is no muscle in the breast itself, the pectoral muscles can be toned which in turn will give the breasts a natural lift. Good exercises to try include push-ups and bench presses. Regular swimming also helps to work out these muscles.

But although chest exercises strengthen and tone the pectoral muscles giving breasts a lift, this will not be as effective as cosmetic surgery in treating drooping breasts.

Dermal fillers: Dermal fillers are quick injectable treatments used to plump out ageing skin that has lost volume as the collagen that previously helped to shape and support it has disappeared. They are mainly used on the face, including the lips and cheeks, and are also an effective treatment for ageing hands.  Some clinics offer dermal fillers as a non-invasive option to lift the breasts. However, due to a lack of long-term studies on their effectiveness, cosmetic fillers aren’t considered go-to treatments for the breasts.

Anti-ageing injectables: Just like dermal fillers, anti-ageing injectables (such as Botox) are injected into the skin, but work by relaxing the muscles under the skin. Some clinics use anti-ageing injectables in the pectoral area to prevent slouching shoulders, which can impact on the appearance of the breasts. But this is not recognised as an effective way to tackle drooping breasts. The results are minor and short-lived, lasting between three and six months. We would not recommend this as a non surgical breast lift option.

Laser treatments: There are certain lasers that can tighten the skin and can help you get a breast lift without surgery. However if a woman requires a significant breast lift, then laser treatment will not be sufficient to achieve any meaningful lift.

Vampire breast lift: This treatment uses platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood. Although it can temporarily lift the bust slightly, it will not treat sagging breasts, and is also not a treatment recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women with a history of breast cancer.

Aptos threading: This treatment uses small barbed Aptos threads to pull the skin of the breasts upwards. However just like other noninvasive treatments, it is only a temporary solution to the problem of drooping breasts and is no substitute for breast lift surgery.

Caci bust treatment: Electrical pulses are delivered to the muscles surrounding the breasts, with the intention of toning up the chest muscles, which lifts the breasts as a result, in a similar way to chest exercises. However repeated treatments would be needed in order to see any meaningful result. 

Thermage: Radio waves are used to stimulate collagen production to tighten the skin. This treatment may temporarily help with mild sagging, but women who are experiencing moderate to severe drooping would not see much benefit, if any, from this particular treatment.

Creams, lotions and natural remedies: There are plenty of treatments and remedies on the market which purport to lift the breasts. Some of these can be very expensive. But as many of these are unproven or do not provide noticeable long-term results, the Cadogan Clinic does not recommend investing in a cream, lotion or any other non-surgical solution.

Certain support wear, antibiotics and other medication, pre-op investigations, treatment of complications, items / services not listed and unforeseen events are not included in the prices. Such items and services, if required, will be additional to the fees. We try to minimize any additional and unforeseen fees as much as possible.

PAYMENT for Plastic Surgery

A non-refundable deposit of KES 150,000 must be paid when booking your surgery to allow us reserve the slot while full payment for procedures should be made at least 1 week prior to the procedure. Terms and conditions apply. Without exception, all fees for surgery are payable in advance, prior to surgery. Payment is in KES or USD. Accepted forms of payment include online transfer, cash, cheque, credit card and Mpesa.

DISCOUNTS for Plastic Surgery

Combined procedures, for example breast surgery plus liposuction in another area – there will usually be a 20% reduction on the second (less expensive) procedure. Kindly note, we do not offer surgery on credit or payment plans – unless you decide to pay in instalments upfront.. Our focus is on providing specialized care, giving you safety, transparency and a personal follow up after high value surgery at your convenience, not budget surgery. Plastic Surgery at a budget can be dangerous and will often not give you the good results that you are striving for. 

MEDICAL INSURANCE for Plastic Surgery

MEDICAL INSURANCES in Kenya do not cover cosmetic surgery except for cases such as: Gigantomastia (very large breasts), abdominal or umbilical hernia, post bariatric / weight reduction surgery, cancer reconstruction, reconstruction after trauma, breast reconstruction, Hand Surgery, Burns Surgery, Facial acne or Rosacea etc.
Please check with your insurance if you are covered for certain procedures that can be categorized as medical and not cosmetic. We will provide you with a medical report, should our team find during your consult that your case warrants being categorized as medical. This will have to be backed up with special investigations, and sometimes a second opinion from another medical specialist.
