Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breasts can lose volume and sag for a variety of reasons, including pregnancy, breast feeding, weight gain or loss, aging, gravity, and hereditary. Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a plastic surgeon-performed treatment that changes the shape of your breasts. The procedure reshapes and supports the new breast contour by removing extra skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. Large areolae can be decreased during breast lift surgery, resulting in an overall better proportioned, natural-looking breast.

If your breasts sag or your nipples point downward, you may want to consider a breast lift. A breast lift may improve your self-esteem and confidence. A breast lift can rejuvenate your shape by giving you a more youthful and elevated breast profile. It can also make bras and swimwear fit better and look better. The size of your breasts will not be considerably altered with a breast lift. A breast lift, on the other hand, can be done in conjunction with breast augmentation or reduction.

The scars in this operation are around the nipple and down the midline. However, the scars heal over time and approach the skin color. The operation takes an average of 2-2.5 hours under general anesthesia. You need to stay in the hospital for 1 night.

In the early postoperative period, taut and upright breasts will regain their natural appearance over time as the edema passes. The corset bra worn in the hospital after the operation should be used for 6 weeks. The vehicle should not be used for 15 days, the arms should not be raised too much and heavy loads should not be carried.

Several incision patterns and procedures are available for your breast lift procedure.

The best strategy for you will be determined by the following factors:

• Size and form of the breasts
• Your areolas’ size and placement
• The amount of sagging in the breasts
• The amount of additional skin, as well as the quality and flexibility of the skin, are all factors to consider

The leftover skin is tightened as the wounds are closed after your breasts have been sculpted and extra skin removed.

Some breast lift incision lines are hidden by the natural breast shapes, while others are visible on the breast surface. Incision lines are permanent, but they will fade and improve over time in most circumstances.

Many ladies want their scars to be as little as possible. Your plastic surgeon, on the other hand, will suggest the incisions that are best suited to your anatomy. Your breast lift surgery results are noticeable right away. Dressings or bandages will be applied to the incisions after the operation is completed throughout your breast lift recuperation.

A short, thin tube can be temporarily inserted beneath the skin to drain any extra blood or fluid that has accumulated.
