Breast lift (Mastopexy or Breast Pexy)
It is the surgery that allows to reaffirm, reposition and improve the shape of the breasts, either with the same breast tissue or with the use of implants (silicone prosthesis). Improves the shape of the fallen breasts. Over the years, after pregnancy, breastfeeding and the force of gravity cause the breast to fall.
In addition, as the skin loses its elasticity, the breast loses its shape and falls, a phenomenon known as breast ptosis. When the breast, in addition to falling has lost or has little volume, you can also place a silicone prosthesis.
Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola when it is very large. During the first consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the size and shape of the breasts, the firmness of the skin.
In all cases, a breast ultrasound or mammography will be requested as a pre-operative examination, according to their age. The different surgical techniques will be explained, the size and shape of your breasts and the options or combination of procedures that are best for you will be discussed.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have, especially those related to your expectations about the results.

The points are removed between 7 and 15 days; the swelling usually subsides after the third week.You must limit strong physical activities for two months, until you recover from the operation.After a breast pexy it will take 12 months or so until your breasts acquire the final appearance; even so, the breasts will change before normal hormonal stimuli, pregnancy or weight changes. It may take some time until you get used to your new body image.
