If you’ve been considering enhancing your curves, mastopexy breast augmentation might be the perfect solution for you. This procedure combines both a breast lift (mastopexy) and breast augmentation, offering benefits of both procedures in one operation.
What is Mastopexy Breast Augmentation?
Mastopexy breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts while also lifting them. This dual approach addresses two primary concerns: sagging breasts and loss of volume. By combining these techniques, patients can achieve a more youthful and perky appearance.
Breast Augmentation vs. Breast Lift
It’s important to understand the distinction between a breast augmentation and a breast lift. Here’s a quick comparison:
Breast Augmentation
- Purpose: To increase breast size using implants.
- Procedure: Implants, either silicone or saline, are inserted to add volume.
- Outcome: Fuller and larger breasts.
Breast Lift
- Purpose: To lift and reshape sagging breasts.
- Procedure: Excess skin is removed, and breast tissues are tightened.
- Outcome: Firmer and more youthful-looking breasts.
Mastopexy breast augmentation combines these two procedures, providing an overall enhanced appearance by both lifting and enlarging the breasts.
Is Mastopexy Major Surgery?
Yes, mastopexy breast augmentation is considered a major surgery. It involves significant manipulation of breast tissues and the insertion of implants. As with any major surgery, it requires general anesthesia, and there is a recovery period involved. It’s crucial to prepare accordingly and follow the surgeon’s post-operative care instructions carefully.
