Skin is removed from the lower section of the breast. The areola, nipple, and underlying breast tissue are moved up to a higher position. The nipple is moved and incisions are closed with sutures. The procedure usually lasts about two hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. If you are considering mammoplasty, consult a plastic surgeon and discuss your expectations about looking and feeling better, keeping in mind that the desired result is improvement, not perfection.
Emotional stability is an important factor.
Breast surgery can renew your self-confidence and improve your appearance, but the rest is up to you. Mammograms or breast X-rays may be required before the surgery. The plastic surgeon will perform a routine breast exam. Mastopexy is typically performed to lift sagging, loose breasts. The size of the areola, the dark pink skin surrounding the nipple, can also be reduced.
