What are the Different Methods of Mastopexy Breast Lift Surgery

Maxtopexy has become an increasingly popular term among young and older women. It is well known that a breast lift can help return sagging breasts to their original firmness and youthful appearance. However, very few women realize that different types of breasts call for different methods of mastopexy or breast lift surgery.

Dr. Foster focuses on providing patients with breast lifts which suit their current size and are in line with the future expectations of the patient. Based on this, Dr. Foster adopts four varied degrees of breast lifts. This helps patients get the most aesthetic benefits from the procedure.

In addition, Dr. Foster extends his breast lift expertise to older women. Dr. Foster has a breast lift procedure available for women who have had breast implants throughout their adult life. Such women, who may be 70 or 80 years old, may be interested in getting rid of their implants. Despite this, they may not want to do so because of the resulting sag. In such cases, Dr. Foster removes the breast implants and performs an internal breast lift. This leaves the patient with a firm breast and no additional scars.

The internal breast lift procedure is done with permanent non-absorbable stitches . The inside of the capsule which housed the implant is attached to the second rib area of the chest. In this manner, the stitches help hold up the breast against gravity. The procedure is extremely intricate as patients get the result of a two hour procedure within thirty minutes. Furthermore, the procedure requires only a single stitch on each side. This is in great contrast with the eight inch scar seen in the two-hour procedure.

The intricacies and technicalities of mastopexy may leave you confused about the procedure that is right for you. With Dr. Foster’s ample experience and knowledge in this area, it is impossible for you to make the wrong choice. Talk to Dr. Foster today and make the right choice for your best results!
