Mastopexy or breast lifting / plus breast implants

With the mastopexy the position of the bust is corrected to the respective level improving its appearance. Gravity, age, overweight, breastfeeding, etc., are some of the reasons that affect breasts. This surgery removes the excess skin, giving more support and a favorable aspect.

Breast augmentation and mastopexy

When you want to correct and enhance the volume, augmentation mammoplasty is used by placing implants. Depending on the breast sagging, there are several techniques, with differences in extension and location of the incisions. 

* In cases that only require a slight lift, the scar can be in the periphery of the areola, and due to this area’s pigmentation, the incision is camouflaged. 

Anchor or inverted-T scar technique

-When breasts are largely damaged, the surgical technique requires bigger scars which are made around the areola, at the lower half of the breast and infra-mammary fold.

It is important to discuss with your plastic surgeon in detail regarding the size and shape of the breast implant. Much of the results you expect will depend on choosing the shape of the implant: round or anatomical.

  • Round implants:  Tend to augment the breast in its entirety, giving volume to the cleavage.
  • Anatomical implants:  Designed to reflect a natural breast shape, more volume at the bottom, and a natural and subtle appearance.
