Mastopexy

A lot of people are opting for various breast procedures today and one of the most common among them is “mastopexy”.

This is the plastic surgery that involved uplifting of sagging breasts and, in certain cases, repositioning of the nipple and areola in order to restore normality and beauty. The excess skin is removed and firmness is provided to the breasts.

Though mastopexy can be done as a standalone surgery, many people combine it with breast augmentation which involves inserting implants inside the body in order to get the desired effect. Unfortunately though, the effects of mastopexy are not permanent. As a person ages and due to effects of gravity there are chances of descensus.

Who should opt for Mastopexy?

People who feel uncomfortable with sagging breasts should opt for this breast procedure. Also certain women have breasts that have no volume but are pendulous in nature.

Such women too should consider going in for this type of plastic surgery in combination with breast augmentation where implants are embedded into the body to provide both volume and firmness.

People with enlarged areolas and whose nipples extend below the breast when not supported should opt for mastopexy to enhance their visual appeal.

Are all people suitable candidates?

This breast procedure is best recommended for people whose breast development has stopped. Women who have borne children and are not considering further pregnancies can also opt for this plastic surgery.

A person who does not smoke and has a normal body weight is considered to be the right candidate for surgery without many side effects. People who opt for this procedure should have a good understanding and realistic expectations. They have to be emotionally strong and understand that the effects are not permanent.
