Mastopexy (breast lift) in Kyiv

Preparation for breast lift surgery

Surgical breast correction begins directly with the patient’s appointment with a doctor. Women often postpone a visit to a specialist, hoping for alternative methods of correction. Note: neither cosmetics nor physical exercises can return the breasts to their previous shape. Such situations are resolved only surgically.

The main indications for correction:

• breast asymmetry;
• ptosis – sagging of the breast due to age-related changes, after feeding;
• abnormalities in the development of one of the breasts (hypoplasia);
• sag of the lower parts of the mammary glands;
• change in the contour and shape of the breast;
• stretching of the breast tissue: the volume of the breast is significantly less than the amount of skin.

The position of the nipple and areola on the mammary glands is also analyzed. Changing their location may affect the correction strategy.

Mastopexy is strictly prohibited for patients under 18 years of age, with excessive excess weight. The operation is contraindicated for women who have recently completed the lactation period or are planning a pregnancy. In any case, HBMedical surgeons determine the patient’s readiness for surgery at the consultation stage.

Preparation includes an analysis of the woman’s individual factors:

• type of defect that needs to be eliminated;
• how severe the problem is: slight, moderate, pronounced breast sagging;
• general physical condition of the patient, presence of concomitant diseases, previous operations on the glands;
• correction with or without implants: surgery with implants is used in cases where it is necessary to provide internal breast support.

Breast correction surgery at HB Medical

Surgical correction of the shape of the breast is performed under general anesthesia. The average duration of the procedure is from 2 to 3 hours. The choice of mastopexy technique depends on the current condition and the desired goal of correction:

• Pariareolar mastopexy. Technique for small and medium-sized breasts. Used for slight or moderate sagging of the glands.
• Vertical mastopexy. The technique is used for moderate sagging of the glands. The nipple is raised to a pre-calculated height. The excess skin formed is removed.
• Anchor (T-shaped) mastopexy. This type of correction is used for significant defects. The anchor technique can correct even significant changes in breast shape.

Before surgery, the surgeon determines whether endoprostheses are needed. Mastopexy in Kyiv, at the HBMedical center, is performed only with certified implants with a lifetime guarantee.

Rehabilitation after breast plastic surgery

Phase-wise recovery period of the patient:

• The first 7 days. The patient spends 24 hours after the operation in the clinic’s inpatient unit, under the supervision of a doctor. Discharge is carried out after 1-2 days. There may be an increase in body temperature, swelling and soreness. Compression underwear is provided. During this period, it is important to visit the center for consultations, examinations and dressings.
• 14 days after the operation. Pain decreases or disappears. Light physical exertion is allowed.
• 30 days. The surgeon must assess the patient’s condition, possible corrections of recommendations. If recovery is going according to plan, compression underwear can be canceled.
• Two months. At this stage, we can talk about the quality of the intervention. The swelling practically disappears. If the surgeon has no objections, the woman can return to controlled physical activity (for example, sports).

Full recovery after surgery lasts from 6 to 12 months. It is extremely important for the patient to strictly follow the doctors’ recommendations.
