Breast Lift (Mastopexy) at Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure designed to restore firmness and lift the breasts, improving their shape, size, and contours. This procedure is especially beneficial after aging-related changes, weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. It can also help correct breast asymmetry.

At Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center, mastopexy is performed by highly qualified surgeons using advanced techniques to ensure a natural result with a short recovery period.

Indications for Mastopexy:

Breast ptosis (sagging) – loss of firmness and volume, often following pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Post-weight loss changes – breasts lose shape due to a sudden decrease in volume.
Breast asymmetry – one breast sits lower or has a different shape than the other.
Aging – natural changes lead to weakened skin and tissue support.
Psychological discomfort – the desire to restore a youthful, aesthetic breast appearance.

Surgical Procedure Overview:

1.Consultation:

The surgeon evaluates breast condition, shape, and volume to determine the most suitable lift technique for each patient.
Different incision options and lifting methods are discussed (circular, vertical, or more complex incisions if necessary).

2.Surgery:

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
The surgeon makes incisions, removes excess skin, and reshapes the breast tissue to achieve a lifted and youthful contour.
The surgery lasts 2 to 4 hours, depending on complexity.
If needed, implants can be inserted to restore lost volume.

3.Postoperative Recovery:

The patient can typically leave the clinic the same day or stay for a few hours of observation.
Some swelling, mild pain, or discomfort may occur but can be managed with medications.
Compression garments must be worn for several weeks to support the new breast shape.
Full recovery takes a few weeks, after which the patient can return to normal activities.
