What is Mastopexy

Mastopexy is the plastic surgery procedure for raising sagging breasts (breast ptosis), by changing and modifying the size, contour and elevation of the breasts. It is also known as breast uplift surgery.

In medical terms, it is a surgical operation that cuts and removes excess tissues, overstretched suspensory ligaments, and transposes the nipple-areola complex higher upon the breast hemisphere. 

Mastopexy surgery techniques are also applied to reduction mammoplasty, which is the correction of oversized breasts (or breast reduction surgery).

Indications for Mastopexy

The following are the four most common reasons that clients seek mastopexy in London with cosmetic surgeon Paul Banwell:

• Sagging breasts, which have fallen forward after breast-feeding, menopause or significant weight loss.
• Post-explantation ptosis, which is the sagging of the inelastic skin envelopes, once emptied of the breast implants.
• Congenital conditions such as tuberous breast deformity (constricted breast).
• Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

Why undergo Mastopexy in London?

Many women undergo one of the many breast surgery procedures in order to enhance their appearance and improve their self-confidence. They turn to breasts uplift surgery,or mastopexy in London to reshape sagging breasts and increase firmness of naturally soft breasts.

Gravity is the most common cause of breast sagging, or ptosis. Here’s how it can impact the breasts of women in different age groups:

• In a young woman with large breasts the sagging occurs because the volume and weight of the bust is disproportionate to body type, and because of the great elasticity of the thin, young skin envelope of each breast.
• In middle-aged women, breast ptosis usually is caused by postpartum hormonal changes to the maternal body and because of the inelasticity of the skin envelope that is overstretched during breastfeeding.
• In post-menopausal women, in addition to gravity, breast ptosis atrophy is aggravated by the inelasticity of overstretched, aged skin.

Anaesthetics for Mastopexy at our London clinic

Mastopexy surgery is performed under local or general anaesthetic, depending on the operation and patient. The full details of the procedure and subsequent recovery period will be thoroughly explained to you at our clinic. Local anaesthetic wears off after a few hours, and general anaesthesia can last for over 24 hours.

How long before daily activities may be resumed?

After-care post removal is an important stage of all procedures and treatment. Once treated, if you have only gone under local anaesthetic, you will be able to return to sedentary activity (eg an office job) a few days after. You should avoid all strenuous activity for a minimum of 2 weeks. 

After local anaesthetic you can usually drive the following day if you are careful.

All patients must strictly adhere to any aftercare advice post-treatment, regardless of the individual, in order to minimise risk.
