The young form of the breasts changes over the years
due to pregnancy, nursing, or body weight fluctuations,
the skin loses its flexibility, stria can develop.
The type of operation is always chosen individually,
after a deliberate consultation.
During the operation the nipple and areola are raised,
the excess skin is removed, the breasts get reshaped.
The size of the areola can be changed as well.
The incisions can be performed just around the areola,
or around the areola and below vertically, or even more
in the lower crease of the breasts.
When the volume of breast tissue is reduced during
the years, the mastopexy may not be enough to restore
the original form. In this case an implant may be necessary
to achieve the ideal size and place.
The surgery is done in anesthesia, so 1 day after treatment
in the hospital is necessary. The stitches will be removed
2 weeks after the operation, but for 3-4 weeks the use
of a surgical bra is advised. 1 week after the procedure
the patient can go back to work if necessary.
The incisions needed for the correction were done around
the areola and below vertically.
An anatomical implant was inserted from
an incision around the areola. The implant was necessary
to replace the missing breast tissue.
Common questions:
- May I nurse after another possible pregnancy?
Yes, but the form of the breasts may change.
- Do I have to wear a bra permanently?
Not all the time, but most of the times it is advised.
- How long the new breast form will hold?
During the years the breast form will change naturally
from its new position. Weight fluctuation can influence
the form as well.
- When can I get some tan?
After the scar healing, but the scar may not be exposed
to strong sun light 1 year after the surgery.
