What is Mastopexy?
THE mastopexy or breast lift Breast augmentation is the surgery that removes excess breast skin and allows for firmer, more attractive breasts. When breast atrophy is severe, a breast implant may be inserted simultaneously to restore adequate volume and achieve a fuller cleavage.
There are several factors that will contribute to breast ptosis (drooping):
- previous pregnancies;
- breast-feeding;
- sharp weight loss;
- aging.
This gradual drop will result in a less full cleavage and an unsightly breast shape, leading to changes in women's self-esteem.
What does the evaluation consultation for a Mastopexy consist of?
During the plastic surgery consultation, information is discussed about the type and extent of scars required for surgery, as well as expectations regarding the possible results.
