Breast sagging or mammary ptosis appears between the ages of 20 and 30 due to factors such as variations in the breasts volume due to weight gain and loss, pregnancy and lactation. It occurs because the ligaments that hold the breasts internally can be loosened and cause the gland to fall, leaving a void in the upper area.
In addition to the above, as women age, their skin loses elasticity and gravity effects affect the breasts, causing them to look droopy. They can even look smaller than they are. This situation can cause a feeling of insecurity, since it has an impact on aesthetics, the attractiveness of their silhouette and the way they wear clothes.
The breast lift or mastopexy is a solution to this aesthetic problem, which allows us to recover the appearance of the breasts, restore the contours and rejuvenate the female figure. Dr. Juan Gordillo is a specialist in breast lift in Mexico and with him you will recover the look of your bust and your self-esteem.
The breast lift procedure begins with the assessment appointment in order to review the medical history of previous and current diseases. The surgeon will perform a physical examination to analyze the nipples and areolas position, the skin quality, determine the treatment options and, if considered appropriate, will recommend an increase in the breasts volume.
It is a surgery that requires general anesthesia to avoid discomfort, and it is recommended to stay over one night in the clinic.
During the procedure, the surgeon will remove the skin from the breasts to reshape the breast tissue. There are 4 techniques for the breast lift procedure, which can be chosen based on the quality of the breast tissue, the type of skin and the size of the areola in relation to the distance from the neck:
The main breast lift benefit is to recover the natural state of the breast and stop the advance of the fall. In addition, if the augmentation mastopexy is performed, the breasts can be repositioned to the original height and give greater volume.
For its part, with the reduction mastopexy, excess adipose tissue can be eliminated to reduce the breasts size, relieve back pain caused by the weight carried, and adapt the volume of the bust to the female body.
To prepare for breast reduction surgery, the surgeon will order preoperative tests such as a mammogram or a biopsy to rule out breast cancer.
If you smoke or drink alcohol you will have to stop doing so at least a week before the intervention and about a month after so that you do not have problems with healing. Inform the specialist if you consume anti-inflammatory medications, aspirin, supplements or vitamins.
Regarding postoperative care, it is recommended to rest for the first 10 days, after which you can return to work and routine activities, but without making excessive efforts. Among the most common recommendations is not to raise your arms above your head, use moisturizer, a sports bra and do not sleep on your stomach.
As soon as a few days after the surgery have passed, it is common to experience side effects such as bruising, swelling, pain or loss of sensation in the breasts and nipples.
Although the breast lift is a relatively simple surgery, the associated risks are infections at the incision site (which are reduced if you strictly follow the surgeon’s instructions), keloid scarring, breast asymmetry or complications with anesthesia.
These risks are less likely when you put yourself in the hands of a plastic surgeon specializing in breast lift in Mexico, like Dr. Gordillo, who has vast experience and satisfied clients who guarantee it.
In the United States, the average cost of a breast lift is $5,012 USD, according to 2020 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. On the other hand, in Mexican clinics you will find savings of more than 50% since the average cost of the breast lift in Mexico is $2,400 USD.
It depends on the case. A breast lift with breast reconstruction can be more expensive. For this reason it is important to visit the surgeon for a prior assessment.
With the use of general anesthesia and surgeon-recommended pain medications, patients feel no pain; only discomfort from aftercare limitations.
Recovery depends on each body. However, it is estimated that recovery can be considered complete 6 weeks after surgery; since this is the time when the bruising and swelling of the breasts resolve.
It is recommended to start taking short walks on the second day after the procedure, but exercises such as running should be avoided until after two or three weeks. If you practice weights or a higher intensity sport, you can return after 6 to 8 weeks.
After 10 days you can return to your normal activities, taking care not to make excessive efforts.
Yes. Initially, the scars are red and may be inflamed, but they will become less visible over time until it becomes a fine white line that is easy to hide with a bra. The use of creams and sunscreen will help you have better healing. On the other hand, women smokers may have healing problems since tobacco slows down this process.If you are looking for a breast lift specialist in Mexico, Dr. Juan Gordillo is the best option for you.
