Why lifting and implant in the same operation?
After pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss, the breasts can become both saggy and lack volume. The implant provides fullness and the lift repositions the breast and areola. Together, the two components create a firmer, taller and more proportioned result.
More than magnification: shape, position and support
Mastopexy with implant is a finesse procedure because the skin has to be reshaped over a correctly chosen implant. A stable, proportionate and natural shape is sought, avoiding implants too large when the skin is already weak or prone to sagging.
Lifting, repositioning and volume
The intervention is customized according to the degree of ptosis, the desired volume and the quality of the tissues.
Breast lift
Excess skin is removed and the breast is reshaped to achieve a higher position and a firmer contour.
Adding the implant
The breast implant fills in the lost volume, especially in the upper part of the breast, providing a fuller and more balanced neckline.
Areola repositioning
The areola is moved to a more suitable position and can be reduced if it has enlarged over time, for a more harmonious result.
Correction of asymmetries
If the breasts are different in position, volume or degree of sagging, the operative plan may include individual adjustments for each part.
