Question 1

What is the breast lift or mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

Mastopexy involves correcting ptosis (sagging of the breast), which affects the nipple, areola, and glandular tissue. This restores the shape and firmness of the breasts and repositions the nipple and areola to their anatomically appropriate positions.

When an increase in volume is desired in addition to lifting the breasts, this surgery is combined with the use of breast implants.

Question 2

How are the resulting scars after a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

Various surgical techniques exist for breast lift procedures, involving the removal of excess skin and redistribution of mammary gland tissue. The resulting scars can be one of the following:
Periareolar: around the areola.
Perivertical: around the areola and a vertical line to the inframammary fold.
Inverted T: around the areola, a vertical line, and another along the inframammary fold.

It is generally accepted that the greater the breast ptosis (sagging), the larger the scars will be.

Question 3

What do I have to do in the first few days after a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

We will closely monitor your progress, providing you with treatment guidelines and taking care of your healing. You should take short walks, avoiding strenuous arm movements. We will provide you with a bra that you will need to wear for a month.

Question 4

Will I experience pain after a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

It is normal to feel uncomfortable in the first few days and have a sensation of tension in the chest, but we will provide medication to manage any pain.

Question 5

When can I resume my daily activities after a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

You can return to work in approximately 4-5 days, provided your job doesn't involve physical exertion. To engage in sports, you'll need to wait for a month. If a breast implant has been used, high-impact sports and pectoral exercises should be postponed for three months.

Question 6

When can I drive after a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

From 4-5 days onwards.

Question 7

Will I be able to breastfeed after a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

By lifting the position of the nipple, we cut the milk ducts through which milk exits, so it is highly likely that you will not be able to breastfeed after the intervention.

Question 8

Will breast implants make it difficult to detect breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

No. However, it's important to inform the radiologist that you have implants so that they can consider it during screenings.

Question 9

Do breast implants last forever?

Accepted Answer

Currently, implants do not have an expiration date. However, it is necessary to periodically monitor them, and if there are signs of deterioration at any point in your life, they may need to be replaced. The implants we use are of high quality and come with a lifetime warranty.

Question 10

How much does the breast elevation or mastopexy cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of mastopexy depends on the technique employed, which varies based on each patient's anatomical characteristics. Therefore, at Stem Beauty, we will provide you with an individualized quote based on your needs. Please contact us.
