If you are a woman who takes care of herself, you usually eat a balanced diet and, in addition, you exercise several times a week, but despite all this, the shape and size of your breasts make you feel uncomfortable and insecure, in Cosmetic surgery clinics Dr Julio Puig they have the solution for you.
There are several reasons why your breasts may be too large and out of proportion to the rest of your body, but it mainly comes down to fat accumulation, the aging process, and having had one or more pregnancies.
These factors have resulted in a chest that is too large and sagging. Your back and neck hurt, you have bra marks on your shoulders, and you have rashes in your folds.
Your problem has an easy solution!
A combined reduction and lift mammoplasty surgical procedure will solve all your aches, pains, insecurities and lack of confidence.
Differences between breast lift and reduction
Breast lift (mastopexy)
A mastopexy or breast lift removes excess skin on the chest and elevates the nipple-areola complex. In some cases, when the areola is too large, it is reduced.
For most mastopexy patients, there is no need to remove excess breast tissue.
Breast reduction
It basically consists of doing the same as in mastopexy, plus the elimination of breast tissue and/or fat with the aim of reducing the volume and weight of your breasts.
Another difference is that a mastopexy is a cosmetic surgery since it does not present any risk to the patient's health, while a breast reduction does affect and, depending on the excess breast volume, could be included by social security, especially in cases of gigantomastia.
Why combine lifting and lowering?
If your breasts are too large, reduction mammoplasty will remove excess skin, fat, and tissue, but it may not resolve sagging breasts. If you also want your breasts to regain a more youthful shape and appearance, in the same surgery they will tighten the breast tissue, to bring your breasts to a higher position.
The result of both techniques will give rise to breasts of the size according to your figure, in a higher position that will give you a more attractive appearance, while eliminating neck and back pain.
Characteristics of breast reduction and lift surgery
- Process: The elevation of the areola and the nipple is performed, as well as the reduction and elevation of the mammary gland
- Surgery duration: Approximately 1h 30min to 2h
- Type of anesthesia: General
- Hospitalization: Discharge on the same day or with 24-hour hospital admission depending on the evolution
- Recovery: 3-4 days painkillers and bandage. Back to work in a week
Incisions may be made on your breasts around or below the areola to remove excess fat and breast tissue. The chest is then lifted and the incisions are closed.
Breast reduction surgery is usually carried out under general anesthesia, and is usually performed through one of three types of incisions, depending on the amount of breast tissue to be removed and the degree of sagging of your breasts.
Breast reduction and lift techniques
- Anchor-shaped incision: Three incisions are made including the circular one, the line to the chest crease, and the one to the chest crease (the most common)
- Short scar: it differs from the anchor in that the incision in the mammary fold is much shorter
- Lollipop-shaped scar: incision around the areola and from the base of the areola to the breast crease
From the incision, the breast tissue is reduced, lifted and shaped.
When there is an excess of fat and it is necessary to eliminate an important part of it, liposuction is performed in the same intervention to extract the excess fat.
The nipple then moves into position but remains attached to the breast.
Postoperative and recovery
you will wear a compression bandage the first 2 to 3 days and a supportive sports bra for the first month after surgery.
A supportive bra will help support the weight of your breasts and reduce discomfort after surgery. In Cosmetic surgery clinics Dr. Julio Puig, they will prescribe antibiotics and analgesics to combat the discomfort of the first 2 or 3 days.
During the recovery process, you will visit your doctor several times to remove stitches, examine the condition of your incisions, and be given specific instructions on how to care for your breasts, as well as what activities to avoid.
