Are You a Good Candidate for a Mastopexy?
Sometimes, you may notice that your breasts have changed shape or started to droop over time. A breast lift, or mastopexy, could be just what you need to restore their original appearance.
In this blog, we’ll explain what mastopexy is, who it can help, and what you should consider before taking the next step.
What is mastopexy and how can it help?
Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes the breasts to give them a firmer, more youthful look. This is a great option if you notice that your breasts have started to droop or lose their natural curve due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes.
One of the benefits of a breast lift is that it can help fix uneven breasts. In fact, according to one study, around 81.7% of women have a difference between their right and left breasts. If unevenness has been bothering you, a mastopexy might be the answer.
When you meet with Mr Nigel Horlock, you will talk about your goals and any concerns you have. He will check your overall health, the quality of your skin, and the natural shape of your breasts to see if a mastopexy is the right choice for you.
The goal is to give you a natural look that fits your body, not to completely change your appearance.
Are you a good candidate for mastopexy?
Here’s some the main factors that make you an ideal candidate for mastopexy:
Sagging: If your breasts are drooping and you’d like a lift to make them appear firmer, a mastopexy could help.
Shape: Sometimes your breasts may change shape over time, and a lift can help bring back a more defined contour.
Uneven Breasts: Since many women have one breast that looks a bit different from the other, a mastopexy can even out the differences.
It’s important to have realistic expectations. While a mastopexy can make a big difference in your look and boost your confidence, it is not a magic fix for everything. It works best when you are healthy and have a positive mindset about the change.
Understanding the risks
As with any surgery, there are risks involved with mastopexy. These can include infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, or even the need for another surgery later.
Mr Horlock will discuss these risks with you so you know what to expect. Being aware of the risks helps you make a better choice and prepares you for the recovery period.
Taking the time to talk through your medical history and any worries you may have is important. This honest conversation will help you decide if you’re ready for the procedure and if your body is in good shape for surgery.
Deciding to have a mastopexy is a personal choice. If you’re dealing with sagging, uneven breasts, or simply want a fresher, more youthful look, mastopexy could be a good fit for you.
