PLASTIC SURGERY
BREAST LIFT
Gravity is something that we cannot avoid, so the breasts will tend to sag or fall. Breast lift or also known as mastopexy consists of removing excess skin and in most cases placing the areola at its original level. You can tell if you are a candidate for this surgery if your nipples are pointed downwards. This surgery is also often combined with the insertion of breast implants to give the breast more shape. The causes of breast sagging are varied, but breastfeeding, age, and being overweight and then losing weight are among the most common.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Can my breasts fall out again?
Gravity is something that we cannot avoid, so the breasts will tend to sag or fall. This is why the definitive size and shape is obtained 4 or 6 months after surgery. In general terms there is NOT a fall as marked as before the surgery; even more so if retro-muscular implants have been placed, which will maintain the shape and position of the breast. Thanks to the implant being held in position by the pectoralis major muscle.
What scar will I have?
It depends on the technique we use, which depends on each particular case. We ALWAYS select the technique that leaves the least scar, with the best result in the shape, size and position of the breast that the patient wishes. It should always be understood and accepted that you are going to “have a scar on your breasts in exchange for a new breast shape, position and size.”
Is it necessary to use implants for breast lift?
The patient should be evaluated and based on her wishes and needs, the use of implants may or may not be necessary. Generally speaking, if there is little glandular volume and the upper part of the breast is empty. It is very likely that the implant is, if or if necessary.
Will the scars be very noticeable?
Scars are usually slightly red during the first few months, but they tend to lighten and fade during the first year, never completely disappearing.
The incisions are made in the natural folds of the breasts so that the scars are successfully camouflaged. According to the degree of severity, the vertical technique, in inverted T or variations of the vertical such as the inferolateral or in the form of a “J” can be used. The more severe the case, the greater the length of the scars.
What if i get pregnant?
In these cases, as well as the marked increase in weight (greater than 7 kg), it will inexorably alter the volume and shape of the new breast. Being the final result once your weight has recovered, a factor that depends on each patient in particular. How to be quantity of kilos raised and lowered, quality of your skin, presence or not of stretch marks and other variables of each particular case.
