A cosmetic procedure designed to improve the lift and shape of a woman's breasts is known as mastopexy which is also called as breast lift. Skin loses its natural elasticity and can no longer fight the effects of gravity as we age. Breast lift is a fairly common surgical procedure which is performed by qualified and board certified plastic surgeons on thousands of women each year.
Those who seek to undergo this type of surgery should have good overall health and are emotionally well-adjusted. Breast lift normally helps in improving the contours of your figure after massive weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you are unhappy with the overall appearance of your breasts. A person who is free of health problems such as bleeding or clotting disorders is an ideal candidate for mastopexy, breast lift surgery. Therefore, your surgeon always wants you to discuss your entire medical history and current medication list at your initial consultation.
Depending on the existing breast shape, amount of sagging, and results desired, breast lift surgery may be full or modified. At the base of the breast, full breast uplift uses an inverted T (or anchor) incision. Adipose tissue, glandular tissue and excess skin are then removed. If the areola is large due to stretching or sagging over the years, the overall size of it may be reduced. On the contrary, modified techniques use fewer and smaller incisions resulting in lesser scarring. Donut, lollipop or crescent incisions assist in removal of tissue around the areola, and helps in raising its position on the chest wall.
However, there are a variety of risks and side effects that may occur as with any invasive surgery. Some patients may react negatively to anesthesia. Others may experience excessive scarring, clot formation, or delayed healing, excessive bleeding, seroma formation, infection and wound separation. Most of these side effects are not common and can be reduced by carefully choosing a certified plastic surgeon with plenty of experience.
Your doctor may advise you to avoid strenuous physical or sexual activity during the recovery period after mastopexy. Scarring normally fades over the next several months as wounds heal within a couple of weeks. Although these symptoms should subside within a couple of weeks, a certain amount of pain, redness, bruising, and swelling is expected with any breast uplift. If pain or swelling increases or if you notice new redness, bring that to your doctor’s notice immediately. These symptoms should be treated immediately with antibiotics as these could be signs of infection.
