What is mastopexy?
Mastopexy, commonly referred to as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and perky appearance. This procedure is ideal for women who are bothered by the effects of aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations on their breast shape and firmness.
What applications is this used for?
- Sagging Breasts: Over time, breasts may lose volume and elasticity, leading to drooping or sagging.
- Lost Breast Volume: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight loss can cause the breasts to lose volume, resulting in a deflated appearance.
- Asymmetry: Mastopexy can also address breast asymmetry, creating a more balanced and proportionate look.
- Improved Confidence: Many women report feeling more confident and comfortable in their bodies after mastopexy, enjoying a renewed sense of self-esteem.
The Procedure
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Mr Jeevan. During this session, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
- Anesthesia: Mastopexy is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety during the surgery.
- Incisions: Mr Jeevan will make carefully planned incisions based on the degree of ptosis (sagging) and the desired outcome. Common incision patterns include:
- Periareolar Incision: Around the areola.
- Vertical Incision: Extending from the areola to the breast crease (lollipop incision).
- Anchor Incision: Around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease (anchor or inverted-T incision).
- Reshaping and Lifting: The breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to create a more youthful contour. Excess skin is removed, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more aesthetically pleasing position on the breast mound.
- Closing Incisions: Once the desired reshaping is achieved, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, creating minimal scarring. Your surgeon may also use surgical tape or skin adhesives to support the incisions during healing.
What results can i expect ?
- Youthful Appearance: Mastopexy can restore a more youthful breast shape and contour, with breasts appearing lifted, fuller, and more shapely.
- Improved Symmetry: The procedure can also improve breast symmetry, creating a more balanced and proportionate appearance.
- Enhanced Confidence: Many women experience a boost in self-esteem and body confidence following mastopexy, feeling more comfortable and attractive in their own skin.
Is breast Mastopexy right for you ?
Ideal candidates for mastopexy are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcome, and are bothered by sagging or asymmetrical breasts. During your consultation, Mr Jeevan will assess your candidacy and help you determine if Mastopexy is the right option for you.
What is the recovery time ?
- Initial Recovery (1-2 Weeks): Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days.
- Intermediate Recovery (3-6 Weeks): Gradually increase your activity level while avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. Follow your surgeon’s guidelines for wearing support garments.
- Full Recovery (6 Weeks and Beyond): Most patients fully recover within 6-8 weeks, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides.
what patients say
Supportive..
Mr Jeevan is considerate and conscientious. He always makes time for his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel supported. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Exactly what I had hoped for...
My final results are exactly what I had hoped for. I feel youthful and light again. They look lovely and the scars are barely visible and diminishing nicely. The 12 month check up aftercare has been brilliant. There’s nothing negative I can say. I’ve never had any kind of surgery before and the whole experience has been so reassuring. If you’re looking for a surgeon who gives great care and great results, look no further.
Perfect end result...
I recently had a breast augmentation with Mr Jeevan and it’s been the best decision I ever made. The end result is perfect and has give me some much needed confidence. Now let’s start with Mr Jeevan himself, he has been amazing throughout my Journey. From start to finish he really couldn’t do enough. From the very first consultation, he advised me on sizing, procedure and give me some much needed reassurance (I was a very nervous and squeamish patient). He has been very professional, approachable and accommodating
