Breast surgery
Breast Lift with or without Prosthesis (Mastopexy)
Mastopexy is a surgery that aims to correct sagging and drooping breasts, giving them a younger, firmer appearance. Removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue are essential parts of this procedure, which is often chosen by women who have experienced changes to their breasts due to breastfeeding, weight loss or ageing.
Mastopexy with prosthesis and Mastopexy without prosthesis
Mastopexy with Prosthesis
Mastopexy with prosthesis combines a breast lift with an increase in volume through the insertion of breast implants. Suitable for women who want to improve sagging, shape and increase the size of their breasts, this procedure offers a number of benefits:
Benefits:
- Greater projection of the breasts.
- Improves sagging.
- Increased breast size.
- More defined and attractive contour.
- Significant improvement in self-esteem and confidence.
Mastopexy without prosthesis
Prosthesis-free mastopexy is an alternative for those looking to correct sagging and drooping breasts without the need for breast implants. Suitable for women who want a more natural look and don’t want to increase the size or volume of their breasts, this technique has its own benefits:
Benefits:
-
- Natural and long-lasting results.
- There is no need for breast implants.
- The procedure is considered safe and effective.
- A more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
Mastopexy (Breast lift) preoperative period
- 1. Obey the instructions given for admission
- 2. Report any abnormalities that may occur in their general condition.
- 3. Enter hospital fasting for at least 8 hours and do not bring valuables into the hospital.
- 4. Come accompanied to the hospital.
- 5. Avoid wearing earrings, rings, piercings, colored nail polish, etc. Any of these will be removed before surgery.
- 6. The bra should be taken to hospital.
Postoperative Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
- 1. avoid exertion for 30 days.
- 2. Do not raise your arms or carry any weight for 30 days, unless specifically advised by your surgeon. (Elbows close to the body.)
- 3. Get up as many times as recommended on discharge from hospital, observing the periods of sitting and avoiding maximum effort.
- 4. Do not expose yourself to the sun or cold for at least 14 days.
- 5. Obey the doctor's prescription.
- 6. Return to the office for subsequent dressings, on the days and at the times stipulated.
- 7. Don't worry about the intermediate forms in the various phases. Ask your surgeon any questions you may have.
- 8. Normal diet (except in special cases). We recommend a high-protein diet (meat, eggs, milk) as well as fruit.
- 9. Wait to go on your "diet or slimming regime" once you've been cleared by your doctor. Anticipating such conduct on your own could lead to difficult consequences.

All about the breast lift
Mastopexy: The most asked questions about breast augmentation or reduction surgery
The choice is personal and should be made with the guidance of an experienced plastic surgeon, taking into account your aesthetic goals and individual characteristics.
Recovery can vary, but both require a few weeks. Following medical advice is crucial to guaranteeing a satisfactory and safe result.
Mastopexy generally doesn’t interfere with breastfeeding, but it’s important to discuss this with your surgeon during your consultation.
The results of mastopexy are long-lasting, but factors such as aging and changes in weight can affect the longevity of the results.
Possible risks of Mastopexy
MASTOPEXY, like any other surgery, has risks and complications, some of which are specific to it and others generic to any type of surgery. These include:
Generic
1. Allergies: Some medications or products used during surgery can cause allergic reactions, which can even lead to death. Allergic reactions are patient-dependent and can occur either to medicines or products that the patient has never had contact with, or to those that they have had previous contact with, even if they didn’t have a previous reaction.
2. Infection: Our body is colonized by countless bacteria, with which, at first, we live in extreme harmony. However, after surgery, they can cause infection, requiring treatment with antibiotics and rarely re-operation. In the case of prostheses, the prosthesis may be lost, but can be reinserted once the process has healed.
3. Hematoma: Accumulation of blood in the operated area, from a vessel that was not bleeding at the end of the operation, but did so in the immediate post-operative period. It can be treated by aspiration with a syringe and needle or, rarely, re-operation may be necessary.
