The first phase is a consultation with the cosmetic surgeon, during which the patient's anatomical and psychological conditions are assessed. During this meeting, the surgical technique, postoperative period, risks, and expected results are explained. Preoperative clinical tests will be necessary to assess the patient's health compatibility.

The procedure begins with confirmation of anesthesia suitability and the surgical technique being designed on the skin. Local anesthesia with deep sedation is used, allowing the patient to sleep during the procedure. The incisions are made according to the predefined design, and excess skin flaps are removed. Compression bandages are applied at the end of the procedure.

Sedation during surgery may cause temporary numbness, but this will improve the next day. It's important to follow your surgeon's instructions to ensure proper healing. Sudden arm movements should be avoided for at least a week to promote smooth, even healing. Postoperative pain is generally mild or nonexistent, and painkillers may be prescribed if necessary.

Results and Scars

The goal of a mastopexy is to achieve greater breast firmness and a natural positioning of the areola. The resulting scars are strategically placed to be discreet. They may resemble an anchor or an inverted T and tend to fade over time.

Breast Sensitivity and Volume

It's normal to experience a temporary reduction in skin sensation after surgery, which can last a few months. Regarding breast volume, mastopexy lifts and shapes the breasts without increasing their volume. If the patient desires greater volume, she may consider breast implants (augmentation mastopexy).

In conclusion, mastopexy offers long-lasting results, but it is important to consider that the natural aging of the body and skin can affect the results of the procedure over time.
