Mastopexy is the plastic surgery procedure indicated to lift and reshape breasts that have lost firmness and elasticity, restoring the nipple-areola complex to its correct position. It is indicated for women presenting:
Mastopexy can be performed alone or combined with breast implant placement (augmentation mastopexy) for those who also wish to increase volume. The result is a higher, firmer, and more harmonious breast profile.
The journey
During the consultation, the surgeon assesses the degree of ptosis (mild, moderate, or severe), skin quality, breast volume, and areola position, defining the most suitable surgical technique.
Available techniques: periareolar (for mild ptosis), vertical, or inverted-T (for moderate or severe ptosis). The choice is customized according to the desired result.
Augmentation mastopexy: if there is also a loss of volume, the procedure can be combined with the insertion of breast implants.
The surgery involves removing excess skin and reshaping the glandular tissue, repositioning the areola higher. Incisions are planned to produce discreet scars.
Recovery is generally well tolerated. The use of a supportive compression bra for about 4 weeks and a short period of rest are required.
