The lack or loss of elasticity of the skin, either due to factors such as excessive weight loss, pregnancy, lactation, or simply due to gravity, causes the breasts to sag. Mastopexy is an intervention that is performed to lift sagging breasts, raising them, correcting flaccidity and shape. There are different techniques to raise the bust, which is defined by the surgeon according to the case of each patient.
Candidates for mastopexy are women who have sagging breasts, breasts with large areolas or nipples below the breast crease, and are not pregnant or lactating.
The scar depends on the technique to raise the breasts, incisions are required around the areola, vertical, horizontal. Normally 2 scars are necessary, one around the areola and another vertical, starting from the areola to the groove of the breast. In cases in which the breast is very sagging, an additional scar is necessary running through the submammary groove creating an inverted T.
