| WHAT
IS BREAST LIFT OR MASTOPEXY? |
| Breast
lift or Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that reshapes the
sagging breasts, making them firm and lifted. It
can also reduce the size of areola - the darker
skin around the nipples. This surgery improves
the elasticity of the breasts that is lost due
to pregnancy and nursing. It can be combined
with Breast Augmentation to enhance the size of
the
breasts. |
|
| WHO
CAN GO FOR BREAST LIFT? |
| Breast lift or
Mastopexy is suitable for you if you want to get
rid of sagging breasts, giving them a firmer
appearance, or if you want to have fuller
breasts with breast
implants. |
|
| HOW
TO PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY? |
| Your
surgeon will instruct you to avoid several drugs
including aspirin and anti-inflammatory
medicines that might interfere with clotting,
for at least 7 days before the surgery. Also, if
you are on Vitamin E medication, you must stop
taking it 3-4 days before the
surgery. |
|
| WHAT
HAPPENS DURING THE SURGERY? |
| In
the Breast lift surgery, your
surgeon removes extra skin s u r ro u n d i n g
the areola, and lower section of your breast.
The surgeon then s h i f t s t h e skin to
tighten the breast. Consequently, your breast
will look firm, uplifted and shapely. During
this surgery many patients may opt for an
augmentation of the breast size along with the
lift. In such instances, your surgeon will
simultaneously insert breast implants. This will
make your skin smooth and give your breasts a
firmer, fuller
appearance. |
|
| WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER THE SURGERY? |
| Your
doctor may advice you for regular breast massage
after the first week to hasten the healing
process . This also helps avoid 'capsular
contracture ' or contracting of the skin
surrounding the breast implant, which can make
your breast feel hard and tight. Your stitches
will be removed within 7-10 days from the
surgery. Thereafter, you can start your normal
routine and can even begin your regular exercise
schedule within four weeks. The scars and red
marks will be visible for a month and will start
fading in 6 to 8
weeks. |
|
| WHAT
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD YOU TAKE AFTER THE
SURGERY? |
| After the surgery, you must not drive
and avoid excessive physical activities for
about a week. You must visit your surgeon at
prescribed intervals for follow-up care. These
visits will help your surgeon to evaluate your
progress and recommend action, if
required. |
|
| WHAT
ARE THE RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS OF THE
SURGERY? |
| Breast lift or
Mastopexy is generally a safe procedure but some
patients may experience excessive bleeding,
infection or side effects of anaesthesia. You
might feel sensitive or numbness around the
nipples following the surgery, these usually
resolve in 6-12 weeks. This surgical procedure
leaves a few scars, but if you are a smoker, the
risks of poor healing and wider scarring are
much higher. In some cases, the size of the
breasts can be unequal or the nipples may not be
in the right place, post surgery. This condition
can be corrected by an additional procedure.
Since some of the milk ducts or glands are
removed during the surgery, breastfeeding may
not be possible in 5-10% of the patients
following this
surgery. |
