The breasts lifting - also called
mastopessi - raises and redraws the contours of the falling
breasts that have lost tone and volume because of the continuous
tractions and contractions which the breast is subjected to (weight
gains and losses, pregnancies, etc).
It Improves the aspect of
the breasts in many ways: it lifts the mammary tissues, it
removes the surplus skin from the inferior part of the breast
and then it remodels the rest of the skin.
At the same time it
raises the position of the nipple and the areola (the pigmented
skin that surrounds the nipple). If the patient wants to
increase the volume of the breast, an additional mastoplasty can
be carried out as well.
Anesthesia
and Hospitalization
Local with sedation or general anesthesia in day-hospital.
Convalescence
From two to three days with a light burning
along the sutures.
The resumption of normal activities will take
7 days. Within 8 months the scars become less visible and the
tissues regain their natural position, results can be already
excellent after 2 months.
