What are the consequences of
having breasts up-lifted
(Mastopexy)?
Mastopexy is a good operation to improve
the appearance of droopy
breasts but you would be left with scars,
possibly some numbness of
your nipples and you may not be able to breast
feed again.
Mastopexy can be carried out by a number
of different techniques and the scars
will differ accordingly. Some people have an inborn tendency
for scars to stretch and some people produce scars which remain
thick, red and irritable for a long time.
Your surgeon will make every effort to make
your scars as inconspicuous as possible but it is important
to remember that the scars are extensive and permanent. It is
not possible to reshape droopy breasts without significant scars
for although the use of breast implants alone will improve the
fullness they will not deal with any significant drooping. A
breast lift will not last forever and the effects of gravity,
pregnancy and weight gain will take their toll, as will time.
