Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping and lifting the breasts that have sagged or lost firmness due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics. The goal of mastopexy is to create a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing breast contour. Here are key aspects of mastopexy:

Consultation and Evaluation:

During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon evaluates the patient’s breast anatomy, discusses their goals, medical history, and expectations.

A physical examination helps assess the degree of sagging, nipple position, and overall breast shape.

Incision Options:

Mastopexy involves different incision patterns, and the choice depends on the extent of sagging.

Common incision types include around the areola (periareolar), a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease (inverted T or anchor-shaped).

Surgical Procedure:

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia for the patient’s comfort.

Excess skin is removed, and the underlying breast tissue is reshaped to lift and firm the breasts.

If necessary, the surgeon adjusts the position of the nipple and areola to create a more youthful appearance.

Recovery:

Patients receive postoperative care instructions, including wearing a supportive bra to aid in the healing process.

Discomfort is managed with prescribed medications, and patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities during the initial recovery period.

Results and Longevity:

Immediate results are noticeable, although there may be some initial swelling.

The longevity of results depends on factors such as aging, lifestyle, and changes in weight. However, the effects of a mastopexy are generally long-lasting.

Combination Procedures:

Mastopexy can be combined with other procedures, such as breast augmentation using implants, to address both sagging and volume loss.

Potential Complications:

Risks associated with mastopexy include scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry. It’s important for patients to be aware of these potential complications and discuss them with their surgeon.

Mastopexy is a customizable procedure, and the specific approach is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Open communication with the plastic surgeon is crucial to ensure a thorough understanding of the procedure, expected outcomes, and potential risks.
