What Is Mastopexy?
Mastopexy, also known as a breast uplift, is a
cosmetic surgery procedure designed to change and
raise (lift) the breasts of a woman. The surgery
can involve changing the contour, elevation and
size of the breasts for females who are unhappy
with how they hang or sag. Breast uplift
procedures' aim is to bring about a more
aesthetically pleasing bust that is in proportion
to their upper body so that they are correctly
placed on the
chest. Various events in life can alter the way
the breasts look and behave, including ageing,
weight loss and having children. The muscles and
ligaments around the breasts can stretch and
break down, causing the breasts to lose their
youthful appearance and droop. This, combined
with natural gravity, can pull the breasts down
causing permanent drooping or hanging boobs.
6
Why Choose Breast Uplift?

• As we age, the boobs droop or sag naturally,
  especially after life events such as being
  pregnant, breastfeeding or losing weight.These
  events can cause strain on the ligaments and
  surrounding tissue so that the breasts are no
  longer supported as they once were.Whilst the
  support tissue itself cannot be recreated, the
  breasts can be reshaped and uplifted in to a new
  position along with removing excess loose skin.
• There are a number of different reasons,
  (sometimes multiple reasons together), why women
  choose Mastopexy surgery.
• These include
• Gravity / Ageing
• Pregnancy / Breastfeeding
• Weight gain / weight loss

7
Why Choose Breast Uplift?

• These factors can cause minor to dramatic changes
  in breast firmness, shape and elasticity.
• A breast uplift procedure can help breasts feel
  more firm, reshape the tissue and restore
  elasticity by removing overstretched ligaments
  and skin. The nipples can also be moved to the
  best position as advised by your surgeon to fit
  the new shape and position of the breast along
  with reducing the areola size if necessary.
• If you are unhappy with the way your breasts look
  and feel, arranging a consultation with a
  specialist will help you make an informed
  decision on whether surgery is right for you.
• Patients consider this common cosmetic procedure
  for all kinds of reasons, such as
• Their breasts droop
• Their breasts have lost shape / volume
• Their breasts appear flat and longer as they hang
• Their nipples / areola point down towards the
  floor
• Their breasts do not hang evenly and one breast
  sags more than the other

About Mastopexy
Mastopexy, whilst a common cosmetic procedure, is
not something that everyone can undergo. It is
also a procedure that some patients find
misleading and often mistake it for other
procedures such as augmentation. Before
considering a breast uplift, it is important to
arrange a consultation with a specialist to
discuss what it is you want from your surgery and
the results you want to achieve. Your surgeon
will be able to talk about the procedure in depth
and see whether you are an ideal candidate for
mastopexy. You will also be asked about medical
conditions, history and undergo a full
examination of your breasts to see that the
procedure is not only right for you, but to
discuss an individual, personal plan that will
suit your breasts' size, shape and desired
results.

About Mastopexy
Photographs may also be taken for your medical
records, which you are welcome to view during the
discussion and talk about any other procedures
that may be beneficial in combination with an
uplift, such as breast enlargement. With
mastopexy, there is no one procedure fits all.
Patients are examined based on their individual
needs and size of breasts. The most common method
of uplift is an incision around the areola and
incision under the breast itself. Often a surgeon
will make an incision in the crease of the boob
and remove any excess skin from underneath. After
this, the breast can then be reshaped so that it
is tighter and nipples can be moved to a higher
position. If you want larger breasts or for them
to feel more full, it is important that you do
not mistake augmentation for mastopexy and an
uplift alone will not achieve this. That is why
many patients undergo multiple procedures at the
same time so that their boobs are lifted up and
enhanced to a firmer and larger appearance / feel.

Advantages of Breast Uplift

• There are many advantages to breast uplift
  procedures for those that are an ideal candidate.
• Lifting the breasts can sometimes help
• Make boobs / body look more youthful
• Reduce sagging
• Boost self confidence
• Improve overall body appearance
• Regain body confidence after pregnancy
• Make boobs look more symmetrical
• Alter the way your nipples look
• Give confidence to wear different items of
  clothing, such as swimwear
• It is important to be honest with your surgeon
  during a consultation and discuss every aspect of
  why you wish to undergo mastopexy in order to
  receive the best advice possible and to ensure
  that your goals are realistic.

Recovery Aftercare
Following a mastopexy procedure, patients usually
stay in hospital for one to two days for recovery
and observation. Patients will need to arrange to
be driven home when leaving the hospital and to
be accompanied at home for at least the first 24
hours. If you undergo breast uplift surgery, you
will expect boobs to be swollen and may be
discoloured along with incisions looking
prominent. These wounds will heal and fade over
the coming months up to 2 years. Whilst immediate
results won't fully reflect desired goal, you
will start to see proper results and improvements
over the first four to six months post
surgery. Patients are advised to take it easy for
the first 6 weeks and not lift anything heavy or
do strenuous activity. As each procedure varies
from patient to patient, activity levels and
returning to work will be discussed with you
during your consultation and again in your
aftercare plan. Most patients can return to light
exercise activities after 8 weeks and return to
work after 10-14 days.
12
Recovery Aftercare
Generally, immediate recovery from mastopexy
takes up to 6 weeks and results should be
properly visible from between 6 and 9
months. Here is what you can expect post
surgery Week 1 - Some pain and discomfort, which
can be managed with painkillers. Activity levels
should be very light, such as walking, but not to
stay idle or rest too long. A support bra /
sports bra will need to be worn for around 2-3
weeks both day and night. Week 2 - When moving,
you may feel a pulling feeling and some pain.
Stitches will be removed and activity levels can
be increased gradually. You can return to work
after 2 weeks depending on your job and
role. Weeks 3-6 - Lifting heavy objects is to be
avoided. Support bra is still needed during the
day but can be removed at night. Sensation /
feeling should start to return to nipple and
breast regions.
13
Complications Side Effects

• When undergoing mastopexy, each procedure can be
  different and comes with risks and complications
  that all patients should be aware of. These
  include
• Breast feeding difficulty. Whilst breast feeding
  a baby is still possible, depending on the extent
  of the procedure, some patients may have
  difficulty producing enough milk.
• Breast tissue and nipple damage. In some cases,
  the bloody supply is interrupted, which can
  damage part of the breast tissue or nipple,
  resulting in loss of the nipple or areola.
• Breast asymmetry. Depending on pre-existing
  asymmetry, surgery may be unsuccessful in fully
  correcting. Or some asymmetry may occur during
  the healing process post surgery.
• Loss / change of sensation. Some permanent loss
  or change of sensation can occur in the breast or
  nipples following mastopexy. However, short term
  changes are common and will return within 4-8
  weeks.
• Scars. As with any incision during surgery, scars
  can be permanent and in some cases thick and
  wide. Some scars can be hidden and others will
  fade over time.
