Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

Mastopexy is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at lifting the breasts, restoring their shape, and improving their aesthetic appearance. Surgical breast correction effectively addresses problems of breast ptosis (sagging) caused by age-related changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. Through mastopexy, breasts acquire a youthful, lifted appearance, and the position of nipples and areolas returns to their natural anatomical position. The procedure not only restores attractiveness but also increases self-confidence.

Thanks to the professional approach of plastic surgeon Shkirenko Oleksiy, each patient receives an individual surgical plan and predicted results. The surgery ensures a natural appearance, increased self-confidence, and harmonious body proportions.

Breast Lift Techniques

Surgeon Oleksiy Shkirenko uses modern mastopexy techniques, adapting them to individual patient needs:

Periareolar Mastopexy: suitable for correcting minor ptosis. An incision is made around the areola, minimizing scar visibility.
Vertical Mastopexy: optimal for more significant breast sagging. The incision goes around the areola and vertically down to the fold under the breasts.
Anchor (T-shaped) Mastopexy: used for severe ptosis and significant tissue volumes. Includes an incision around the areola, a vertical incision, and an additional incision along the breast fold.
Lift with implants: allows not only lifting the breasts but also adding volume.
Lift without implants: performed exclusively to correct breast shape and position.

The choice of technique depends on the degree of ptosis, skin condition, and desired result.

Indications for Breast Lift

Indications:

Breast ptosis due to age-related changes or tissue stretching.
Loss of breast volume and elasticity after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
Breast asymmetry when one mammary gland is more sagged than the other.
Developmental anomalies, such as hypoplasia of one mammary gland.
Dissatisfaction with breast contour or shape.

Contraindications:

Pregnancy or lactation period.
Acute inflammatory processes or infectious diseases.
Heart, vascular diseases, or blood clotting problems.
Oncological diseases of the mammary glands.

Mastopexy Surgery

1. Preparation
The procedure begins with a consultation during which the doctor evaluates the condition of the mammary glands, determines the degree of ptosis, and selects the optimal method. The patient undergoes necessary tests and mammography or breast ultrasound.

2. Surgical Process
Mastopexy is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours depending on complexity. The surgeon makes incisions, removes excess skin and, if necessary, tissue, shapes the new breast form, and corrects the areola position.

3. Rehabilitation
After surgery, the patient is recommended to wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks. Periodic visits to the doctor are necessary to monitor healing. The final result becomes visible after 3-6 months.
