Reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy

WHO BENEFITS:

Indicated for patients with disproportionate breasts, large associated with discomfort and excessive weight with postural interference in daily activities, back pain and limitation for physical exercises. Patients of all ages benefit, and in certain young people with excessive growth, the so-called juvenile hypertrophy. In this case, patients who have not yet gestated, it is essential to preserve the anatomy for later breastfeeding.

THE SURGERY
Local anesthesia and sedation is used in most cases. If you have very large breasts, general anesthesia may be indicated. Even in these situations, the patient wakes up without pain because we perform the infiltration with local anesthesia in the breast.

The scars will be placed around the areolas, vertically and in the mammary fold. The size varies according to the larger amount of skin to be resected. The glandular reduction is done to obtain a breast cone well positioned in the chest, treating the tendency of breast fall. Liposuction is associated to reduce fat deposits on the sides of the chest and armpits. Technical options have evolved to provide a better shape, using parts of the breast itself to fill a more rounded upper pole, maintaining the projection. In selected cases, the incision can be reduced only vertically and more rarely only periareolar.

Hospital observation the first night and discharge the next morning.

CARE AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE

In the first week it is important to rest at home, avoid opening your arms above 90 degrees and someone should wash their hair in the first 15 days when they can also drive.

It is recommended to wear a bra during the day and at night during the first 15 days, being gradually released. In general daytime use for 30 days.

Sports such as games will be released after 60 days. Walks and some exercises located after 20 days.

Solar exposure of the operated area is contraindicated in the first 2 months.

The scars fade over the months. In general, they improve after 6 months and may have redness for a longer period and require longer treatment.

MASTOPEXIA

Recommendation:

Indicated to correct pending breasts or "drooping breasts" that still have an adequate volume or less than the desired volume after breastfeeding, weight loss, or due to age atrophy. The use of silicone prosthesis may be indicated concomitantly with mastopexy, if there is little glandular tissue to lift and fill a satisfactory breast cone.

Tuberous breasts are changes in shape in young patients that result in breasts with large and disproportionate areolas associated with the absence of a gland at the bottom and very narrow base of the breast. It requires a different treatment, preserving the ducts for future breastfeeding, mastopexy and breast prosthesis with reduced periareolar and if necessary vertical incisions are used.

Surgery Performed under local anesthesia and sedation with hospital overnight, lasting 2 to 3 hours. The scars can be only areolar and vertical, or with a small lateral extension in the mammary fold, the “L” scar. The areolomamilar complex is repositioned higher in the chest. Innervation and mammary ducts are preserved during the replacement of the glandular portion, sculpting a more pleasant and filled breast. Surplus skin and fat are removed.
