What Conditions are Corrected by Breast Lift?
In Netherlands(NL), augmentation or enlargement is done in order to correct either the condition of sagging breasts due to aging. It may also be done in order to make genetically small breasts appear fuller. Another is to have the same size on both breasts. The idea is to make them appear not only bigger but also in better shape.

Breast Lift Procedure

A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).

Netherlands breast lift - News update:
The Healthcare Commission has published a report – ‘Spotlight on Complaints’ – discussing the findings from over 10,000 complaints about NHS care that it independently reviewed between August 2006 and July 2007. Each year the NHS receives around 140,000 complaints, and the Commission reviews cases where the patient was unhappy with the response. The report looks at the handling of complaints and common themes which trusts can learn from. Research suggests that 52% of complainants simply want either an apology, a better explanation or recognition of the event, therefore the Commission highlights the need for trusts to acknowledge errors and say sorry where necessary. The following clinical themes are highlighted (taken directly from the press release): • Hospitals – 30% deal with the fundamentals of nursing care, such as unmet personal hygiene needs, a lack of privacy when receiving intimate care, inadequate help with eating, and nurses being “abrupt” or “sharp”, making the patient feel they were a nuisance • GP practices – 43% of complaints about GPs related to clinical treatment, with many patients saying their examination was of poor quality, often because it was so brief. A further 23% complained of failed or delayed diagnoses, with the condition involved usually cancer. Twenty percent were about GPs’ poor attitude to patients, including rudeness and neglecting to give full information about treatment because of fears that the patient “could not cope” • Dental surgeries – 34% of complaints were about the quality of treatment. In many of these cases, inexperienced dentists underestimated the difficulty of the cases involved. For further details please see the full report, which can be accessed via the link above. More...
