BREAST UPLIFT, BREAST LIFT OR MASTOPEXY

Women’s breasts may lose their shape and firmness due to loss of weight, following childbirth and breast feeding or as a result of the normal ageing process, making them appear saggy and deflated. In most women, a combination of stretched skin, loss of skin elasticity and loss of breast volume results in droopy, unattractive and empty looking breasts. Although exercise and nutritious diets can help, they aren’t sufficient to bring back a youthful look. The answer to this problem is a breast uplift surgery that can effectively restore the fullness of breasts making them appear curvaceous, attractive and youthful.

WHAT IS BREAST UPLIFT, BREAST LIFT OR MASTOPEXY?

Women’s breasts have their own functionalities and it is difficult to renew their natural support structure once out of shape. However, restructuring them to appear fuller, firmer and more youthful is possible with the help of cosmetic surgery which is known as Breast Uplift, Breast Lift or Mastopexy.

In this operation, the breasts are reshaped and uplifted into tighter cones by removing the folds of excess skin from beneath the breasts, and repositioning of the nipples at higher levels, giving the appearance of the tightened breasts. Areola size can also be reduced by this procedure.

Women with smaller drooping breasts can reap the best benefits of this surgery, and the success rate is usually higher than those with heavy breasts. For smaller breasts with a saggy appearance, silicone breast implants are placed beneath the tissues of the tightened breasts to give a better shape and increased size. It is advisable to opt for mastopexy only after completing your family, as pregnancy and breast feeding may stretch the breasts, resulting in reduced effectiveness of the surgery.

ANTICIPATED OUTCOME OF THE SURGERY

Breast Uplift, Breast Lift or Mastopexy is an effective procedure to improve the look of saggy breasts at the expense of scar aound the nipple and vertical scar below the nipple, along with a variable length of a transverse scar in the breast crease. You may also experience numbness of the nipples and you might not be able to breast feed again. Scars will differ for different techniques of mastopexy, although there may be a possibility of getting fewer scars, which will be discussed by Mr Javaid before performing the operation. Most women will prefer uplifted, youthful and attractive looking breasts with scars rather than an unattractive droopy and aged looking breasts. Most scars are acceptable, blend in well with the rest of the surrounding skin and continue to improve for up to 24 months after surgery.

DURING AND AFTER THE OPERATION

Normally, Mr Javaid performs the operation under general anaesthesia. Depending on the extent of the process, you may need to stay overnight in hospital. Small tubes for draining serum and blood may be inserted into your breast which will be removed after some time. Painkillers will also be administered for the first few days to minimise pain and discomfort. You’ll be advised to wear a firm dressing and bra until the stitches are removed, which may vary from 10 to 14 days. Stressful physical activities should not be undertaken for one month.

LIMITATIONS AND RISKS

Limitations: Fullness of breasts above the nipples can’t be achieved by mastopexy alone. Silicone breast implants can help, however the extra weight of the implants may cause further droopiness. The results of this surgery are not permanent and as time passes, the breasts may dip downwards again.

Potential risks and complications: Bruising, swelling, haematoma, seroma, infection, altered nipple sensations, inability to breast feed, wound healing and scar related problems, skin necrosis, partial or complete nipple necrosis particularly in smokers, asymmetry, persistent dissatisfaction with the appearance.
