This is the Patient who isn’t happy with the size of her breasts and grapples with the problem of inflexible skin in this area, and a complex of drooping mammary glands.

Initial effects of the procedure can be appreciated after dressing is removed, yet breasts are normally swollen for a few weeks after the surgery. After the swelling recedes, the Patient will be able to enjoy her beautiful and shapely bosom.

Patients can enjoy their beautiful breasts for years, however, results of breast augmentation/mastopexy are not permanent and fade with passing time. Natural and inevitable processes that take place in the ageing human body will cause the skin to slowly lose its firmness and be no longer able to hold the breasts in their original position, especially if they are more ample. Another operation may turn out to be necessary after several years to preserve the aesthetic effects of the primary procedure, though on a smaller scale of correction.

Excessively enlarged breasts may of course be the reason for overstretching of its surrounding tissue. Therefore, during an initial consultation the specialist will listen to the Patient’s expectations and suggest a breast size that will help to preserve results of the surgery, including a firm and flexible skin, for long.

If the Patient is satisfied with the size of her breasts and would only like to correct their ptosis, mastopexy may become the sole focus. The breasts will look more attractive and fuller in cleavage.

The ladies with too abundant breasts, who dream of smaller, naturally lifted breasts, can take advantage of reduction mammoplasty combined with mastopexy.

The Patient and the surgeon will decide if a breast augmentation will be undertaken at the same time as lifting during a consultation after the Candidate presents her individual preferences and her breast anatomy is analysed. If the breast skin is flexible and firm, the augmentation procedure will not require any lifting. In time, breasts, particularly those abundant and heavy, may begin drooping and then can be lifted.

Breast implants shouldn’t be obstacles to mammography. They don’t interfere with diagnostic breast imaging or contribute to formation of unwanted artefacts. The technician must be notified of the breast implants before testing. Our every Patient is recommended to have preventive diagnostic examinations of this body area.

Breast augmentation procedures are not associated with increased risk of neoplastic lesions, including those within the chest. The likelihood of oncological conditions rises if the Patient is genetically loaded, carries mutant genes or has an unhealthy lifestyle. Regardless of size and any procedures breasts undergo, they must be examined on a regular basis, so that any possible changes in their image can be quickly detected and treated.

In principle, these procedures have high risk of affecting breastfeeding. Therefore, Patients planning breast augmentation/mastopexy who like to become pregnant and breastfeed should inform the plastic surgeon about it. In the event, the surgeon will suggest to postpone the procedure until the end of the last accomplished planned breastfeeding. Keep in mind, too, breasts during pregnancy change their volume, which may contribute to stretching of their skin and cause the breasts to droop as a result.
