Breast lift

The passing of the years, lactation, menopause are aspects that favor the sagging of the chest, through breast lift surgery these aspects can be corrected.

When the chest is flaccid and sagging but is not excessively large and cannot be raised by placing an implant, we resort to this intervention, called Mastopexy.

The causes are originated by the effects of gravity and volume variations in the breast especially during pregnancy, which determines that the skin and supporting ligaments give way, fall and situate itself in a position lower.

It is a very gratifying surgery as it restores aesthetics to the chest, giving it a new shape and smoothness, and can be accompanied, if desired, with the placement of a prosthesis to increase its volume.

Technique

It consists of the elimination of excess skin and the relocation of the mammary gland. If not, a prosthesis can be placed in addition to removing skin. The scars are limited to the peri-areolar area and another vertical area.

In these cases, as in those of breast reduction, the acceptance of the patient's healing must be considered, a point to take into account when deciding on the intervention.

Pre-Operative

  • Complete blood analysis.
  • E.C.G.
  • Chest X-rays.
  • Bilateral mammography.

Postoperative

You must wear a suitable sports bra. Avoid movement and excessive effort , during the first 15 days after the intervention, coinciding with the total removal of stitches.

Aftercare

After the total removal of the stitches, treatment and care of the scars will begin, to obtain the most optimal result. Depending on whether a prosthesis is implanted, the care will be complemented with progressive massages starting approximately 15 days after the intervention, in order to distend the capsule that forms around the prosthesis and avoid a capsular contracture.

Capsular contracture: Scar tissue that forms internally around the implant can contract and make the prosthesis round, firm, and possibly painful. The treatment for it could require surgery, change of the implant and even removal of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a possibility, since breast lift surgery involves a cut around the nipple. Nerve tissue slowly falls back into place, so it can often take up to two years for sensation to touch to return to normal. If it doesn’t happen at that time, it may not happen in the future.
Removing excess skin will logically cause a scar somewhere on the breast. In all cases there will be a scar around the areola. However, if the sagging of the breast is greater and therefore a greater amount of skin must be removed, you will also have a vertical scar from the nipple downwards. If the breast has an even more severe relaxation then the scar will be in the shape of a circle around the areola, with a vertical line and there will also be another horizontal line below the breast (inverted “T” shaped scar). It is at the time of the consultation with the medical professional when, evaluating your case and the fall of your breast tissue in particular, he will evaluate the type of surgery required and, consequently, the scar that will remain.
The recovery time depends on each particular person, although it usually follows certain parameters. Between five and seven days after the intervention, patients must take medicine to prevent pain. During this period, you generally must stay at home, and you cannot drive or operate machinery. After the first week, light physical activities such as walks can be started. From the second week some can be incorporated and you can start driving, after the fourth week you can start running and doing aerobics. In any case, and as we have expressed it above, the recovery time and the way in which physical activity can be incorporated into your life depends on each individual person.
