Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Mastopexy is an aesthetic surgical procedure aimed at correcting sagging breast tissue in women due to various reasons. Pregnancy, childbirth, weight fluctuations, aging, and genetic factors can lead to breast sagging. Changes in breast tissue after breastfeeding, in particular, can cause the nipples to point downward. This situation can lead to both aesthetic concerns and personal self-esteem issues.
What is Mastopexy?
Mastopexy is a surgical procedure designed to reshape sagging breast tissue to achieve a firmer and more youthful appearance. During this operation, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is restructured to hold the breasts in a higher and more lifted position. Mastopexy corrects the position of the nipples and improves the shape of the breasts.
Who is a Good Candidate for Mastopexy?
Mastopexy is generally suitable for individuals who experience the following conditions:
- Women who have experienced sagging breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Individuals who have sagging breasts due to weight changes, aging, or genetic factors and feel discomfort about their appearance.
- Women who have experienced a reduction in breast tissue and downward-pointing nipples, leading to aesthetic concerns.
Am I a Good Candidate for Mastopexy?
Ideal candidates for mastopexy are typically in good health and are suitable candidates for surgical procedures. A thorough preoperative assessment and consultation process helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on personal needs and aesthetic goals.
Mastopexy provides a more youthful and firm appearance to the breasts and can help women feel more confident. The recovery process after surgery may vary depending on the patient’s overall health and the specific procedure performed.
