MASTOPEXY

The breast tissue which loses its volume for structural reasons or due to excessive weight loss, aging or after pregnancy, lactation may give a sagging appearance as the skin remains loose. It is possible to correct the breasts sagged in this way through mastopexy. It is also possible to correct breast asymmetries through this operation.
Mastopexy may not be sufficient alone for sagged breasts deprived of enough volume. In the patients whose breast tissue is insufficient, adequate fullness is achieved with silicone breast prosthesis application in addition to mastopexy. Excessive skin tissue is ablated in mastopexy. The diameter of the dark colored skin ring around the nipple is also made smaller and nipple is elevated to the normal position. The aim is to provide the women with breasts that are more youthful, good-looking and proportionate to their bodies.
The technique leaving a trace only around the nipple can be preferred for the breasts with less sagging, and the technique leaving a vertical trace downwards from the nipple can be preferred for the cases with more sagging. An operation which will leave a trace in converted T shape can be planned for too sagged or necessary cases. It is possible to build up the breast with less trace by placing prosthesis for the breasts with very less sagging. While these traces are more evident during the first months, they will become softer, whiter and less visible within months. Additionally, these traces will not disturb the patient because these remains under the bra and bikini.
You will have to wear a special bra during 2 to 3 weeks following the surgery. Patient is discharged on the same day or remains at the hospital for 1 night. You should avoid from lifting heavy things for 3 to 4 weeks and heavy exercises.
