Mastopexia is the operation with that we lifted a fallen chest and we improved its form. In mastopexia the areola and the nipple ascend until their correct and wished position. When in addition we were with a great areola, this can be reduced of diameter and if the one is all the chest that has excess of volume, this is reduced to the ideal size, acquiring a rejuvenecida form. The technique of mastopexia varies according to the form and the degree of descolgamiento of the chest. If the chest is fallen but it is of small, we increased its volume placing a prothesis under the mammary gland. We are speaking then of a type of mastopexia called mastopexia with prothesis.
When the chest has a suitable size is not precise to place any type of prothesis. In order to carry out one mastopexia it is precise to realise incisions around the areola and from the same towards the submammary furrow. Sometimes although not always, when the degree of flaccidity of the chest is maximum we needed to realise another horizontal incision in the submammary furrow that we will try it is shortest possible. The operation is carried out in operating room under general anesthesia reason why the patient must be entered in the clinic during 24 hours.
The medical discharge to the morning following of the surgery with a report in which occurs specific the medication and the regime of life that must follow in the next days. In addition it will have a contact telephone to consult the doubts that could arise to him. It will be able to make practically normal life to the 48 hours of the surgery whenever it does not realise important physical efforts.
During the following visits in the consultation his surgeon will realise the opportune cures and will retire the stitches between the eighth and fourteenth day.
