WHAT IS A BREAST LIFT (MASTOPEXY)?

If you have sagging breasts due to past pregnancies, genetics or aging, this procedure may of interest to you. If your nipple -areolar complexes are enlarged or one breast is a different shape/size than the other a mastopexy may be helpful.

WHAT IS INVOLVED?

• The procedure is done as a day surgery in our Surgical Centre. A general anesthetic is used.
• The design of the incisions can vary but usually include incisions around the nipple- areolar complex and in the crease under the breast.
• The nipple is brought up to a more youthful position as well as extra skin from near the bottom of the breast removed.
• The insertion of an implant as well may be an option.

WHAT IS THE HEALING TIME?

• You will go home with a bra on that we provide. It will give you gentle support through the healing phase.
• Light dressings will be removed in 48 hours and then you can shower regularly. The incisions will be taped, tape is removed in 3 weeks.
• Sutures are absorbable.
• Bruising subsides in 7 - 10 days, slight swelling may last a few weeks or months.
• Pain is managed easily with oral medication.
• Light activities can be started in a few days, most patients take about 3 weeks off work.
