## What is Mastopexy (Mastopexia)?

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts (breast ptosis). The procedure removes excess skin, repositions the nipple and areola, and reshapes the breast tissue for a more youthful, firm appearance.

### Breast Ptosis Classification
- **Grade I (Mild)**: Nipple at or slightly below the inframammary fold
- **Grade II (Moderate)**: Nipple 1-3 cm below the fold
- **Grade III (Severe)**: Nipple more than 3 cm below the fold

## Mastopexy Techniques

### 1. Periareolar Mastopexy
- **Indication**: Mild ptosis (Grade I)
- **Scar**: Around the areola only
- **Recovery**: Fastest recovery
- **Best for**: Minor corrections with minimal scarring

### 2. Vertical Mastopexy ("Lollipop")
- **Indication**: Moderate ptosis (Grade II)
- **Scar**: Around the areola + vertical line to the fold
- **Recovery**: Moderate recovery time
- **Best for**: Most versatile technique, good balance of results and scarring

### 3. Inverted-T Mastopexy ("Anchor")
- **Indication**: Severe ptosis (Grade III)
- **Scar**: Anchor-shaped (around areola + vertical + horizontal)
- **Recovery**: Longer recovery
- **Best for**: Maximum correction for severe cases or large breasts

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How long is the recovery?**
Initial rest for the first few days, gradual return to light activities in about one week. Intense physical activities should be avoided for 30-45 days.

**Are the scars very visible?**
Scars vary by technique. Periareolar leaves only a scar around the areola. With time and proper care, scars lighten significantly.

**Can I breastfeed after mastopexy?**
In most cases, yes. Modern techniques preserve most breast tissue and lactiferous ducts.

**How long does the surgery take?**
2 to 4 hours, depending on technique and case complexity.

**Is the result permanent?**
Results last 10-15 years on average, influenced by aging, gravity, weight changes, and future pregnancies.

**Can mastopexy be combined with other procedures?**
Yes, commonly combined with breast implants, abdominoplasty, or liposuction.
