Breast Mastopexy

Breast Mastopexy Surgery

Breast Mastopexy Tunbridge Wells, Kent

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to address a droop in the breast, a low nipple position and sagging skin.

During the operation, the breast tissue is repositioned to a higher location, the nipple is also raised, and excess skin is removed.

It will leave scars around the areola, vertically down towards the breast crease, and sometimes an additional scar in the breast crease.

WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE INVOLVE?

An augmentation mastopexy is undertaken when you are asleep (general anaesthetic) and takes place in hospital. Following surgery, you will wake up wearing your post-surgical bra, with surgical tapes on the wounds themselves.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

By combining a breast lift with a breast augmentation, two goals are addressed in a single operation – improving the volume of the breast and also improving the shape, nipple position and addressing any sagging skin.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Surgery Procedure

Surgery to lift the upper eyelids (upper blepharoplasty) is one of the most popular local anaesthetic plastic surgery procedures. It has a quick recovery and the results are very natural, giving a refreshed and brighter appearance to the face. Upper blepharoplasty can be performed as a procedure on its own, but is frequently combined with other procedures, such as surgery to the brow, facelifts, or other plastic surgery operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does surgery take?

Mastopexy procedures take around 2-hours to perform

What is the recovery period?

The procedure may be performed as a day case (in and out the same day) or you may stay in hospital overnight after the surgery. You should wear a sports bra day-and-night for at least 6-weeks after surgery, and sometimes for up to 3-months.

How long before daily activities may be resumed?

As mentioned above, it is important not to over do it in the post-surgical period. By 6-weeks you should be back to doing whatever you normally do, including exercise, but driving should be avoided for the first 2-weeks after surgery and you should not try to lift anything heavy until the 6-week mark.

What are the possible complications?

The risks and complications for a mastopexy include:

Delayed wound healing and possible wound infection
Development of a post-operative collection of blood in the wound – this might require draining in the operating theatre
As the nipples are being repositioned and the breast is being tightened, there is a small risk that the nipple can undergo necrosis (die), but fortunately this is rare. Other issues with nipples can include numbness and shape changes.
There will inevitably be a degree of differences between your breasts – some breast asymmetry is normal
All operations carry a risk of blood clots occurring the legs (DVTs) that can migrate to the lungs (PEs) which, whilst rare, are serious.
Revision surgery might be needed to make any adjustments in your result
