A Mastopexy is a procedure most commonly used on woman who have had children and would like to return their sagging breasts to their former perky condition.

A Mastopexy is essentially a breast lift.

This can change the shape of the breast quite considerably and often additional surgery is needed to reposition the nipple in a more suitable place after the breast has been lifted.

It is not quite as common as breast augmentation, and as with that procedure it is essential that you get a well recommended surgeon and do sufficient research to check out the results of the surgeon’s previous work.

Before deciding on surgery a surgeon will give you a thorough examination to check for any conditions that could cause complications including breast cancer.

The surgeon will also look at the shape and size of your breasts to determine whether you will get the desired results or if breast augmentation might be a better alternative.

The same surgeon would generally do both procedures and their experience will allow them to help you decide which choice you should make.

A Mastopexy can produce very good results provided you are a good candidate for this type of operation.

The final outcome will be reliant solely on what the surgeon has to work with, unlike breast augmentation where they can add different sizes of implants to completely reshape the breast.

A Mastopexy is a good option for women who are reluctant to put foreign objects in their body such as silicon or saline breast implants.

Obviously larger breasts will give the surgeon a lot more material to work with, and for some women who have had children, the effect of pregnancy and child birth on the breasts can often leave them no alternative but to consider breast augmentation to achieve results that they will be happy with.
