Wondering about the effects of mastopexy?

The effects of mastopexy include a firmer, shapelier bust, renewed self-confidence, perky breasts and feeling comfortable in and out of your clothes! Mastopexy, also known as a “boob lift” or “breast lift”, is a cosmetic procedure that helps women with sagging or drooping breasts to surgically lift their breasts.

Mastopexy is one of the most popular breast augmentation surgeries and many patients are ecstatic with the results. While you will immediately be able to see a huge difference in the firmness (and height) of your breasts, there are a few side-effects during the healing process. The good news is that the side-effects of mastopexy are typically only temporary.

Possible side effects of mastopexy procedures

• Discomfort. Your plastic surgeon will prescribe pain medication for the first several days after breast lift surgery. Most women only experience discomfort for the first 48 hours. If the pain doesn’t subside and you experience extreme discomfort, you should contact your cosmetic surgeon immediately.
• Itching. An itching wound is generally a good sign because it means that the incision is healing. Your doctor will prescribe a medicinal ointment to help the incisions heal without contracting bacteria – try to avoid scratching!
• Scars. There are a few different incision options when it comes to mastopexy. The anchor scar, for example, consists of a scar that goes around the areola and down the breast as well as a horizontal scar in the breast fold. A crescent lift, on the other hand, involves taking a wedge of skin and breast tissue from above the areola (which is a much smaller scar). The type of mastopexy scarring you have will depend on the type of breast lift procedure you are getting. While the incisions heal quickly and scars fade over time, these scars are permanent. There are a number of procedures that can help remove scars (such as laser surgery) and doctors are continuously improving their techniques to reduce scarring following a breast mastopexy.

How Dr Dadvand in Los Angeles can help you?

Many types of breast lift procedures can be performed with or without a breast implant surgery. In a case where a patient wishes to get a mastopexy and breast implants, the implant serves to give more upper breast fullness which cannot be accomplished with a breast lift alone.
