Do you know the difference between mammoplasty and mastopexy?

Breast procedures are the most requested

Mammoplasty and mastopexy are the two most demanded breast surgeries in the world.

Both procedures have clear objectives that allow to improve the passage of the chest according to the needs of the patient, which we will explain to you:

First we must understand what is mammoplasty?

Mammoplasty is the surgery that is responsible for the increase or reduction of the breast. Its approach is to resize in any modality.

Augmentation mammoplasty, as indicated, increases the volume of the breast by placing an implant or breast prosthesis.

Benefits of a mammoplasty

This increase is done to:

• Enlarge breasts that are naturally small.
• Restore breast size and shape after pregnancy or through weight loss or breastfeeding.
• Corrects the asymmetry that the breasts may present.

Mammoplasty can also be performed as part of breast cancer treatment, such as reconstructive surgery.

The ideal candidate for breast augmentation is any woman who seeks to improve the appearance of her breasts, and who is in good physical condition.

What is mastopexy?

Mastopexy is the surgery that is responsible for lifting the breasts, which involves changing the position of the areola and the nipple.

This procedure is generally practiced in women who present sagging and sagging of the breasts, a product of breastfeeding and sudden changes in weight, also normal aging can lead to sagging and the breasts lose volume.

When it comes to mastopexy, it is very important to understand expectations, as scars are often larger than with augmentation mammoplasty.

Also with the passage of age, weight changes and pregnancy can cause the breasts to sag again, although it will depend on the condition of the skin and elasticity.

In conclusion, we can say that mastopexy fulfills the function of repositioning the breast to correct flaccidity, and mammoplasty aims to increase or reduce breast volume.
