The mastopexy, <\/strong>commonly known as chest lift<\/strong><\/a> It is a surgery that falls within the treatments of breast surgeries and that is sometimes performed accompanied by another procedure<\/strong> such as increase or decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aesthetic purpose of this surgical operation is the to raise the chest <\/strong>which may be down for various reasons: weight changes, lactation, pregnancy, age-related degenerative changes...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is breast lift surgery or mastopexy?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The mastopexy<\/strong> It is an outpatient surgery that is performed under general anesthesia. Surgical interventions for mastopexy generally have a duration between 2 and 4 hours<\/strong>, although they are almost always around two and a half hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surgical intervention is performed through two minimal incisions that the surgeon will make in the lower area of the breasts<\/strong> of the patient. In this way they ensure that the scars that may remain will be as minimally visible as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through these incisions you will move and will relocate some of the breast tissue.<\/strong> In addition, the nipple and areola will be relocated to a higher area and according to the harmony of the rest of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the intervention is done, the wound will be closed with stitches, leaving a minimal scar under the patient's chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is the postoperative period of a mastopexy?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the aspects that most concerns people who are considering having a breast lift or mastopexy is recovery and postoperative<\/strong>. The main recovery is knowing how long it will take before the patient can return to normal life and the results are definitely visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recovery from this surgery is satisfactory in patients as long as a series of guidelines are followed that the specialist recommends once the intervention has been carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each patient is unique<\/strong> and the evolution after the operation does not have to be the same in all people. However, the main precautions do not usually extend more than two weeks after the intervention.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the surgery is done, the patient will be sent home under medical prescription of analgesics and anti-inflammatories to alleviate common pain in the first days. In addition, the use of a specific postoperative bra will be mandatory to ensure that the results remain fixed during the first weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, a week after the operation, the stitches with which the scars have been closed will be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first days after the operation, the patient will experience swelling and inflammation<\/strong> in the chest area that will progressively subside over the days. As the inflammation goes down, the definitive results will begin to be visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
