The mastopexy surgery aims at reshaping and lifting the breasts without changing their size. With this surgery, the areola is moved to a higher position and, by reducing the skin tissue, the tone of the breast itself is increased. Breast lift surgery alone does not involve an increase in the volume of the breasts, but rather a modest reduction.
Overdeveloped,sagging or poorly shaped breasts can only be restored to an aesthetically pleasing appearance with surgery. Mastopexy is a type of surgery that remodels and supports the breast that has become ptotic due to aging or breastfeeding.Stretch marks will be reduced in number due to the removal of the skin and improved in appearance due to the tension of the reshaped breast, even if they will not disappear.
The intervention lasts approximately two – three hours depending on the extent of the procedure necessary to achieve the desired correction. Measurements and drawings, which are an essential part of the surgery, are performed firstly in the hospital room.The most used techniques involve variable incisions depending on the degree of ptosis to be corrected and the technique adopted. Consequently, the residual scars will also vary in the same way. If the defect that needs correction is not excessive, the incision can be performed only around the nipple or extend from the nipple to the sub-mammary groove (vertical scar technique). If the fall of the breast reaches high degrees, it is necessary to extend the incision also along the sub-mammary sulcus (inverted T scar technique).
The surgeon removes excess skin from the periareolar area and from the lower part of the breast depending on the technique used. The nipple, areola and mammary gland are brought upwards and the skin flaps above and to the sides of the areola are brought down and joined at the bottom. The sutures close the incisions around the areola and in the lower part of the breast. The residual scars will have variable extensions depending on the technique used.
When an increase in breast volume is also performed, the insertion of the breast implants is performed at the same time according to the technique deemed most appropriate by the surgeon. At the end of the surgery, a compression dressing is performed and a specific, particular supportive bra will be worn. An adhesive bandage can be used if necessary.
