What is U&U dual lift?

A body-contouring surgery lifting sagging breasts and a lax abdomen together in one go

  • Sagging breasts
  • Dual lift
  • Lax abdomen
Surgery time
4-5 hours
Drain
If needed
Hospitalization
Same-day discharge
Stitch removal
7-10 days

Some clinics are good at abdominal lifts,some are good at breast lifts.But clinics good at both are rare.

Advantages of U&U dual lift

KEY POINT

  1. 01One anesthesia solves two concerns at once
  2. 02Just one week of recovery time is enough
  3. 03Stitches removed all at once in week one

U&U sagging-breast surgery methods

Implant augmentation without lift

Mainly used for small, lax breasts (grade 1-2 ptosis).

For those worried about ptosis-correction scars, we resolve sagging with implant augmentation alone.

Implant + breast lift

Mainly used for severely sagging breasts (grade 3+ ptosis).

A vertical incision leaves a small, clean scar.

U&U breast lift principle

Breast lift incision design diagram — A the inframammary fold, B the side line, C around the areola
  • A

    · Short fold closure, fast recovery · Back to daily life on day 7-10 · Size & nipple height to fit you

  • B

    · Short-scar method, shorter scars · Low-tension keeps scars narrow · Full teardrop side line, not flat

  • C

    · Short-scar method, shorter scars · Low-tension keeps scars narrow · Full teardrop side line, not flat

Types of sagging-breast incisions

Vertical | O-type | Areolar

Upper-body diagram showing the vertical incision position and the post-op scar shape

Vertical incision

Used for most ptosis corrections Areola shape may turn out uneven Hard to fill the upper volume Scar may extend below the fold

Upper-body diagram showing the O-type incision extent and the post-op scar shape

O-type incision

For very large, sagging breasts of 1500cc or more Volume can be chosen freely Nipple height corrected as desired

Upper-body diagram showing the areolar incision position and the post-op scar shape

Areolar incision

Lifts the nipple slightly with a short scar Little areola-reduction effect; may widen again Scar may pucker into a bumpy shape Breasts look flat rather than rounded

Double-locked abdominal lift

The stretched abdominal muscles are bound firmly not only vertically but horizontally, lifting even the visceral fat.

The scar sits at pelvic-bone height, hidden inside the bikini line, and careful suturing with thorough aftercare takes the worry out of scarring.
