Breast Mastopexy is performed under a general anaesthetic and usually with a one night stay in hospital. You are marked out before the operation, and it is designed on the pattern of a breast reduction technique. The breast tissue or gland is also reshaped in an effort to produce greater projection and an overall more rounded look.
A breast Mastopexy isn't for everyone. If you're considering pregnancy at any point in the future, you might delay getting a breast lift. During pregnancy your breasts could stretch and offset the results of the lift.
It is important to share the current and past medical conditions. Talk about any medications you're taking or have taken recently, as well as any surgeries you've had. To determine your treatment options, the doctor will examine your breasts - including the position of your nipples and areolae. Make sure you understand the risks and benefits, including scarring and changes in nipple or breast sensation.
You should ideally stop smoking 6 weeks prior to surgery and stop taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements before surgery. You may need preoperative tests prior to surgery, which we will arrange if requireds.
