Mastopexy with implants
Treatments Woman / Breast Surgeries
Mastopexy with implants is a combined procedure that involves lifting and reshaping the breasts, along with the use of breast implants to restore lost volume. This procedure is indicated for women who have breast sagging and volume loss, desiring not only to lift the breasts but also to increase their size and fullness.
For those who are recommended Mastopexy with implants
- Breast Sagging with Volume Loss: Women who have experienced breast sagging due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or aging can benefit from mastopexy with implants to restore the shape and volume of the breasts.
- Breast Asymmetry: When there is a significant difference in the size or shape of the breasts, mastopexy with implants can be used to correct asymmetry and achieve a more balanced appearance.
- Small Breasts with Sagging: Women with naturally small breasts who also have sagging can opt for this procedure to achieve fuller and firmer breasts.
- Desire for Volume Increase: Patients who desire more voluminous breasts, in addition to a lift, can choose mastopexy with implants for more comprehensive results.
- Improved Self-Esteem: For many women, dissatisfaction with the appearance of their breasts can negatively affect their self-esteem. Mastopexy with implants can help improve self-confidence and body image satisfaction.
