Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and lift sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and firmer appearance. This cosmetic surgery aims to elevate the breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipples to a higher, more aesthetically pleasing position. Candidates for mastopexy typically include individuals who experience breast ptosis (sagging) due to factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or aging, leading to a loss of breast volume and elasticity. During the procedure, various techniques may be employed based on the degree of ptosis, such as the anchor, lollipop, or donut incision methods. Mastopexy doesn't significantly change breast size, although it can be combined with breast augmentation or reduction for desired volume adjustments. Recovery time varies but often involves temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising, with gradual improvement in breast appearance over several weeks. As with any surgical procedure, mastopexy carries potential risks, including scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and complications like infection or asymmetry. Consulting a qualified plastic surgeon is crucial to discuss individual goals, risks, and expected outcomes before deciding on this transformative procedure.
