Mastopexy
Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. This procedure is sought after for various cosmetic and functional reasons.
Types of Mastopexy
Crescent Lift:
- Involves a small crescent-shaped incision above the areola.
- Suitable for minor sagging.
Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift:
- Incision made around the circumference of the areola.
- Ideal for mild to moderate sagging.
Vertical (Lollipop) Lift:
- Incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease.
- Suitable for moderate sagging.
Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift:
- Incision around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease.
- Ideal for significant sagging and reshaping.
Discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon so that you can be realistic about what breast augmentation can do for you.
Procedure
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia is commonly used.
- Incision: The chosen incision pattern depends on the degree of sagging and the desired outcome.
-
Reshaping and Lifting: Breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve contour and firmness.
The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful height. - Excess Skin Removal: Any excess breast skin is removed to improve elasticity.
- Closing Incisions: Incisions are closed with sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape.
Risks
- Infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and asymmetry.
