Breast Lift (Mastopexy)Provided in Cluj-Napoca

About Mastopexy or Breast Lift

The mastopexy procedure, also known as a breast lift, is a surgical intervention designed to correct sagging breasts and restore their natural shape and position.
This procedure is ideal for women who have experienced breast changes due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process.

When the breasts are sagging and the volume is larger than desired, a similar procedure called breast reduction may be performed.
If the breast volume is insufficient, mastopexy can be combined with breast implants or fat transfer for a fuller and more balanced result.
When there is also excess abdominal tissue—especially in women who have gone through one or more pregnancies—the procedure can be combined with abdominoplasty, as part of a mommy makeover.

Benefits of Mastopexy

• Enhanced aesthetic appearance: A breast lift helps raise and reshape the breasts, giving them a firmer and more youthful look.
• Restored self-confidence: Many women who undergo this procedure report a significant boost in self-esteem and body confidence.
• Correction of asymmetry: Mastopexy can help correct breast asymmetries, creating a more balanced and harmonious appearance.

Breast Lift Procedure Process

Preoperative consultation: During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate your health, discuss your expectations, and determine the most suitable surgical technique for your case.

Anesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort.

Incisions: The type and location of incisions depend on the degree of breast sagging and the chosen technique.
The most common incision types are:

• Periareolar incision: around the nipple (areola), where the scar blends with the natural color of the areola.
• Vertical incision: from the areola down to the breast crease.
• Anchor-shaped incision: includes a periareolar incision, a vertical incision, and one along the inframammary fold.

Lifting and reshaping: After the incisions are made, the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to achieve the desired contour.
If necessary, the surgeon can also reduce the size of the areola.

Closing the incisions: The incisions are closed with sutures, and a special surgical bra must be worn for at least six weeks postoperatively.

Recovery After Breast Lift

Recovery after mastopexy is relatively fast.
Patients are encouraged to move around as early as the day of surgery, and most can resume daily activities within a few days.
Intense physical effort can gradually resume after approximately six weeks.
It is essential to follow the surgeon’s recommendations to ensure a smooth and complication-free recovery.

Risks and Complications

As with any surgical procedure, mastopexy may rarely cause complications such as bleeding, infection, nipple necrosis, or wound-healing problems.
All these aspects will be discussed thoroughly before the procedure.
