Breast lift procedure. Mastopexy surgical technique

Breast lift mastopexy procedures can be performed in various ways and with different types of incisions, which outline the area from which excess skin will be removed and which define the new position of the nipple. Mastopexy generally requires the application of drainage and the extension of the scars is proportional to how much the breast needs to be lifted

The techniques are varied and the engravings vary it is expected:

For very sagging and emptied breasts, the vertical scar may extend briefly and horizontally in the mammary sulcus with an L or inverted T shape or peri-areolar, vertical and horizontal scar

The scar can be placed in the peri-areolar area only for a small lift. or it may be necessary to make another vertical access route that goes from the areola to the inframammary fold

The suture is carefully performed thanks to special threads, favoring the intradermal suture technique which prevents the stitches from being visible from the outside.

Patients with small breasts and very little ptosis can undergo surgical procedures that involve little scarring

The breast prosthesis is possibly always inserted through the same access necessary for the correction of the ptosis. All methods require a particular bandage which is kept for the first 48 hours

The duration of the mastopexy operation varies between 1h 30 min. and 2 hours, requires general anesthesia or deep sedation and requires day hospital admission or 1 night.

What is the course after the breast lift surgery or mastopexy?

In the first two days after breast lift surgery or mastopexy, the patient must rest. The annoyance depends on the type of intervention; if only mastopexy has been performed, the discomfort is negligible, if the prosthesis has also been used, the discomfort is more important and lasts a couple of days. The breast, in the first few times, has bruises, swelling and you need to wear an elastic garment that consolidates and maintains the result. The soft compression bra will be worn for 23-24 hours for 4-6 weeks, while the stitches will all be absorbable. Sometimes there is a loss of sensation in the areola and nipples, which usually recovers after the swelling subsides over the next few weeks. In some patients, however, the numbness can last for several months. For optimal recovery it is necessary to abstain from work for a couple of weeks and from sports for at least a month.
