Mastopexy
The
two procedures Mastopexy (also known as a Breast-lift) and Mammaplasty (also known as a Breast-Reduction) are actually quite similar,
because they are both aimed at remodeling and shaping the
breast. The reduction is performed by removing a part of the
large breast and reshaping it. The breast-lift procedure is
performed by removing some skin, and possibly a small part
of the breast. This procedure may also include the addition
of an implant to enlarge it (see breast augmentation). |

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE PROCEDURE. |
|
| |
|
The most suitable candidates for the breast-lift procedure are women who are healthy, emotionally stable and realistic in their views about what the procedure can do for them. The best results are observed in women with small, sagging breasts. Although a breast-lift can be performed on breasts of any size, the effects may not persist as long in larger and heavier breasts.
Mastopexy is often sought by women who have lost volume in their breasts or experience stretching and sagging after pregnancy and nursing. However, it is advisable to postpone the procedure if you are planning on adding to your family and having more children. No real risks have been associated due to this procedure on future pregnancies, and it will not affect the outcome of breastfeeding, but because pregnancy can offset the results of the procedure, it is advisable to wait if you are going to be pregnant or nursing. |

How
to check for Breast Droop |
|
| |
Examine
your breasts carefully in front of a mirror. You have a mild
droop if your nipples have dropped to the level of
the crease beneath your breast. A moderate
droop is when they have drooped below this line. You
have an advanced droop if they are pointing towards your shoes.
|
|
| |
Does Breast Augmentation correct Breast Droop? |
|
| |
|
Breast augmentation will not improve true droop, but will improve pseudo-droop. In Pseudo droop, the nipple is above the breast crease; only breast tissue sags below the crease. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
With the onset of age, a woman’s breast loses it’s shape and firmness and starts to sag as it loses it’s elasticity due to various reasons such as pregnancy, nursing and the force of gravity. The Mastopexy or Breast Lift procedure is performed to lift and shape sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also be performed to reduce the size of the Areola which is the darker skin surrounding the nipple.

Before the Mastopexy Procedure |
|
| |
|
Your initial consultation should be used to fully understand how the procedure is performed and get any questions answered by your surgeon. You should also discuss with your Doctor at this time the expectations that you have from the procedure and what your desired outcome is. The doctor should advise you as to what would be the most suitable size and shape. Make sure to cover any questions that arise with your doctor, especially those in regards to your expectations or any concerns over the procedure. Before the Mastopexy the physician should provide you with a list of guidelines for preparing for the surgery. |
