Frequently Asked Questions – Mastopexy
Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. It involves removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissues, and repositioning the nipples to achieve a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing breast contour.
Ideal candidates for mastopexy are individuals experiencing sagging or drooping breasts due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, weight loss, or genetics. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
No, mastopexy is focused on lifting and reshaping the breasts. Breast augmentation involves enhancing breast size with implants. However, these procedures can be combined for individuals looking to address both sagging and volume loss.
Recovery times vary, but most patients can expect to return to light activities within a week and resume normal activities, including exercise, after a few weeks. Full recovery may take a few months.
While some scarring is inevitable, skilled surgeons aim to minimize scars by placing incisions strategically. These are usually placed around the areola, straight down from the areola, and along the fold underneath the breast (anchor incision). Scars are therefore hidden by a brassiere or two piece swim suit and fade over time. Various scar management techniques can also be recommended.
Mastopexy may impact the ability to breastfeed, as the procedure involves repositioning the nipples. If future pregnancy is anticipated, it’s advisable to discuss this with the surgeon to explore options that may preserve breastfeeding ability.
As with any surgery, mastopexy carries some risks, including infection, changes in nipple sensation, and scarring. However, complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
The results of mastopexy are long-lasting, but factors such as aging, gravity, and lifestyle changes can impact breast appearance over time. Maintaining a stable weight and following post-operative care instructions can help prolong results.
Yes, mastopexy can be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation or body contouring surgeries. This combination approach is often referred to as a “mommy makeover” and addresses multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously.
