A mastopexy, also known as breast lift or breast lift, is a surgical procedure that aims to lift and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and adjusting the tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. This surgery is suitable for women who want to reverse the effects of gravity, aging, weight loss or pregnancy on the breasts.
A mastopexy is a great option for women who want to restore the firmness and shape of their breasts. With the guidance of a qualified plastic surgeon, it is possible to achieve natural and long-lasting results, improving not only the appearance, but also the confidence and well-being.
Mastopexy with implants combines breast lift with implant placement, resulting in firmer, fuller breasts. Mastopexy without implants focuses on lifting and repositioning the breasts without adding extra volume. Both techniques provide significant results, but the choice depends on the individual needs and desires of the patient.
The mastopexy procedure usually takes 2 to 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. During surgery, the surgeon makes incisions to remove excess skin and reposition the breast tissue and nipples. The technique and location of the incisions vary depending on the degree of sagging and the desired goal.
L-scar mastopexy is a technique where incisions are made around the areola and descend vertically to the breast crease, forming an L-shaped scar. This approach is ideal for cases of moderate to severe breast ptosis (drooping), allowing effective remodeling of the breast with less visible scars over time.
On the other hand, mastopexy with reduced scar (short scar) uses more modern and less invasive techniques, minimizing the size of the incisions. This approach is indicated for cases of mild to moderate ptosis, resulting in smaller and less noticeable scars, providing a more satisfactory aesthetic result.
Mastopexy with implant replacement is a procedure that combines breast lift with replacement of old breast implants with new ones. This surgery is especially recommended for patients who already have implants but wish to correct sagging breasts and/or replace the implants for aesthetic reasons or due to wear and tear over time. The combination of these procedures improves both the shape and volume of the breasts, offering a rejuvenated and harmonious result.
The benefits of mastopexy are not limited to aesthetics. In addition to improving the appearance of the breasts, the procedure can also increase patients' self-esteem and confidence. The surgery can also correct asymmetries and provide a more appropriate and harmonious body contour.
Recovery from mastopexy requires a period of rest and specific care to ensure the best possible healing. In the first few weeks, it is common to feel discomfort and swelling, which can be controlled with medication prescribed by your doctor. It is important to follow all post-operative instructions, such as avoiding intense physical activity and wearing compression bras. Recovery to normal activities usually occurs between 4 and 6 weeks after surgery.
Mastopexy is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon in an appropriate clinic. However, as with any surgery, there are risks that should be discussed during the consultation.
Full recovery can take 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery and your body's response.
The cost of a mastopexy can vary widely based on location, the surgeon’s experience, and the patient’s specific needs. To get an accurate estimate, it’s recommended to schedule a consultation.
The results are visible immediately after surgery, but the final result will be more evident after a few months, as swelling decreases and scars mature.
Some discomfort is expected during recovery, but pain is usually controlled with appropriate medication. Most patients find the discomfort manageable and temporary.
