What Is Breast Lift?
A breast lift or Mastopexy is a procedure performed to tighten the breasts. Whether due to age or gravity, a woman’s breasts start sagging and lose their youthful look. A breast lift corrects this by restoring the per-kiness of the breasts. There are a lot of steps that go into making this lift complete.
At Medistar Clinic, we take the utmost care to explain the procedure and provide complete consultation to breast lift surgery aspirants. This helps them to understand the intricacies of the surgery. During the dis-cussion, the surgeon will also understand your goals and ambitions related to the procedure and give you an honest and complete picture.
We also use Crisalix 3D Simulation, which is a breakthrough technology to help you visualize your post-surgery breast contour on your own digitized images. This helps you to define your goals better and know how would you look after the surgery.
Why Breast Lift Is Done?
Breast Lift procedure is done if:
You have loss of youthful breast contour
Your breasts have started to sag due to pregnancy or breastfeeding
Your breasts have started looking droopy due to weight fluctuations, natural ageingor any other heredity reasons.
Your breasts are flatter, have an elongated shape or look pendulum shaped when hanging freely.
When you are not wearing a bra, your nipples fall under the breast crease.
The areolas and nipples point downwards.
You have stretched skin and extremely large areolas.
One of your breasts falls lower than other.
What is the Procedure of Breast Lift?
During the procedure, after administering general or local anesthesia, incisions are made in the areolar region. These could be around the areola – a periareolar incision, or vertically down from the areola to the breast crease- inframammary incision. The choice and placement of the incisions hide the resulting scar considerably. The incisions are strategically placed. They are either hidden in the point where the light skin meets the dark skin (periareolar) or underneath the breast (inframammary). Inframammary is also the safest incision, which is why we prefer this incision over the others.
After the incisions are made, the underlying excess tissue is removed. This reduces the size, making it more manageable. For natural results, we reshape the rest of the tissue and reposition the nipple and areola. These measures allow us to place them at a more youthful height, making your breasts look perkier.
If need be, the enlarged areola is also reduced by removing some areola skin at the perimeter. The loss of elasticity in the skin is also addressed by removing extra skin. The remaining skin is tightened as the incisions are closed with the help of sutures or skin adhesives.
