BREAST LIFT

 Mastopexy is a surgical procedure to lift and improve the shape of sagging breasts. Over the years, and after circumstances such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the force of gravity cause the breast tends to fall; in addition, as the skin loses its elasticity, the breast loses its shape and falls, a phenomenon known as breast ptosis. When the breast has failed or has little volume, you can also place a prosthesis to correct it. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola when it is substantial. 

 A physical examination of the breasts will also be performed. A mammographic study (Ecosonogram or mammography) will be requested.
The different surgical techniques will be explained. The size and shape of your breasts and the options or combination of best for the patient will be discussed.
You should plainly state your expectations so that the plastic surgeon will also be frank and show you the alternatives available for your problem, with the risks and limitations of each one of them.
Your history, smoking habit, consumption of medications such as Aspirin ®, steroids or vitamins, number of previous pregnancies, and the possibility of new pregnancies will be evaluated. Do not hesitate to ask any questions that arise, especially those related to your expectations about the results.
