Asymmetry- small differences in shape or size of the breasts are not rare following mastopexy.
Nipple Sensation - the majority of patients will have some change in nipple sensation following mastopexy. This is frequently temporary but could take months to return.
Breastfeeding - mastopexy should not influence your ability to breastfeed because the nipple is normally not separated from the milk glands. Scars - the scars extend around the nipple, vertically down from the nipple and under the breast. The scars disappear in time but tend to be wide and are still visible. Surgical scars are constant. Generally mastopexy scars are wider than breast augmentation scars as the procedure is more involved. The more skin is removed throughout surgery, the larger your scars can be. The scars are around the nipple, and may expand vertically down from the nipple under the breast.
If you are wondering what the benefits of breast lifts are, here is a list of some of the benefits of mastopexy:
* Reverses the effects of ptosis, or breast sagging.
* Correct breast imbalance in shape, size or look.
* Reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.
* Regain the volume and look of breasts prior to pregnancy and nursing.
* Reverse the drooping effecting of your breasts caused from not wearing a bra throughout most of your life.
* Reverse the effects of stretched, saggy skin caused by significant weight loss.
* Often a required step in breast augmentation for women with ptosis.
* Can be used to reduce breast size.
