What is a mastopexy?

Breast lift or Mastopexy in Turkey is a surgical technique used to lift and shape sagging breasts. The passage of time and circumstances such as pregnancy, breastfeeding and gravity tend to cause the breast to become flaccid. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breast loses its shape and droops. When the breast, in addition to sagging, has lost or has little volume, a prosthesis can also be placed or even a transfer of your own fat (lipofilling) can be performed.

There are different surgical techniques to lift the breast. The surgeon will define the most suitable one according to the size and shape of your breasts and your own expectations.

WHAT DOES MASTOPEXY CONSIST OF?

Mastopexy in Turkey consists of lifting the areola and the nipple, giving shape and firmness to the breast. It is not always necessary to remove breast tissue if the volume is not excessive, only the excess skin.

The amount of scarring required will depend on the amount of skin tissue to be removed. In certain cases, when the breast is small and has little sagging, the incision is placed only around the areola.

Sometimes, for breast lift, it may be necessary to place a prosthesis under the breast tissue or pectoral muscle in breasts with little volume, which will also reduce the amount of scarring.

There are cases in which the sagging or drooping of the breasts is so significant that, even if breast prostheses are placed, scarring cannot be avoided.

Anesthesia

Cosmetic breast surgery in Istanbul is performed under general anaesthesia, although in certain cases mastopexy can be performed under local anaesthesia plus sedation. The mastopexy lasts between 1 and 3 hours.

BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT

Thanks to mastopexy, the breast recovers its harmony and shape, so that the patient will be able to recover the aesthetics of the breast.

After the breast lift you will be able to return to work in a few days, depending on the physical demands of your daily activities.

MASTOPEXY PRE-OPERATIVE

It is essential to undergo a medical examination beforehand, as in all operations, to detect any anomaly that may contraindicate the mastopexy operation.

The surgeon will assess and study those cases in which the patient has coagulation or scarring problems, as well as those cases in which there are cardiovascular, systemic or autoimmune diseases.

POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD AFTER BREAST LIFT

After the mastopexy it is normal to feel a little tired for a few days, but you will be able to lead an almost normal life from the second week onwards, depending on the technique used.

Most of the discomfort is well controlled with the medication prescribed by the plastic surgeon.

Initially the scars will have a pinkish appearance, which will improve steadily from 5 weeks after the breast lift.

You should avoid exposing the scars to the sun for at least three months. Sunlight can cause permanent pigment changes in the skin, leading to darkening of the scars.

If sun exposure is imperative, use sunscreen.
