In the mastopexy procedure, general anesthesia is usually used. This ensures that the patient is completely asleep and pain-free throughout the surgery, allowing the surgeon to work safely and effectively.
General anesthesia guarantees maximum comfort for the patient and facilitates the realization of all stages of the procedure, from the incisions and the removal of skin to the replacement of the breast tissue and, if necessary, the placement of the prosthesis.
In any case, the type of anesthesia that should be used for this procedure is determined by the evaluation of the anesthesiologist.
The recovery of a mastopexy involves a gradual and careful process to ensure optimal results. Initially, the patient may experience inflammation, bruises and discomfort, manageable with prescribed medication. It is essential to use a compression bra to support the breasts and minimize this inflammation.
During the first weeks, it is recommended to avoid intense physical activities and lift heavy objects, allowing the body to heal properly. Most patients can return to light activities and sedentary work, following the surgeon’s instructions to ensure a safe and effective recovery.
The scars will fade over time, and complete results will be visible in a few months, providing a rejuvenated, natural look.
Mastopexy generates a temporary disability that varies according to the individual patient’s response and the extent of the procedure.
Immediate disability: Rest and pain management is required with prescribed medication. The patient may need assistance with basic activities.
Short-term disability: It is recommended to avoid any intense physical activity. It is essential to wear a compression bra and take care of the incisions according to the surgeon’s instructions. Most patients can return to sedentary work and light activities.
medium-term disability Most patients can return to all their normal daily activities, including moderate exercise, always following the surgeon’s recommendations. In short, mastopexy entails a gradual recovery that allows patients to resume their normal activities safely and effectively.
Anchor-shaped scar (or inverted “T”):
- Location: This technique involves an incision around the areola, a vertical from the areola to the fold of the breast, and a horizontal along the fold of the sinus.
- USE: It is used for patients who require significant elevation and have a considerable excess of skin.
“Columbian” (or vertical) scar:
- Location: It includes an incision around the areola and a vertical from the base of the areola to the fold of the breast.
- USE: Ideal for patients with moderate fall who need intermediate elevation and breast remodeling.
Periareolar scar:
- Location: A complete incision is made around the edge of the areola.
- USE: Appropriate for patients with mild fall who need minimal elevation and minor breast contour correction. At ClinIQ, we use advanced and minimally invasive techniques to ensure that scars are as discrete as possible, while providing harmonious and natural results. Follow-up and post-operative care are essential to ensure optimal healing and patient satisfaction.
