Recovery is very fast and you can return to work after 3-5 days of surgery. The results of the intervention are permanent.
PROCEDURE
1. CONSULTATION
Chest lift is a highly personalized intervention and as such requires a very detailed specialist consultation. During the first consultation, the DERMOLIFE® surgeon will conduct a very detailed open conversation with you, listen carefully to all your expectations, and illustrate all the goals and aesthetic results that can be achieved, ensuring that you have concrete and realistic expectations. They will thoroughly study the skin, muscles, and chest glands. They will also assess the proportions of the nipple-areola complex with the breast and the proportions of one breast to the other. DERMOLIFE® surgeon also assesses your health to exclude various diseases, blood clotting problems, or skin rashes that can affect the final outcome of the intervention. Before surgery, our surgeon will provide you with precise instructions on nutrition before and after surgery, medication administration, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. You should also undergo some tests in advance, such as breast ultrasound, cardiac examination, chest X-ray, and some standard blood and urine tests. After summarizing all the answers to these tests, it is time for a consultation with our staff anesthetist to decide on the general health status and the opportunity to perform the aesthetic intervention in question. At the end of the consultation, the surgeon, together with you, will choose the most appropriate procedure for your case. World-renowned DERMOLIFE® surgeons guarantee excellent results because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
2. ANESTHESIA
In the case of surgical intervention, one of the most common concerns is anesthesia. DERMOLIFE® staff performs chest lift interventions under local sedation anesthesia and avoids general anesthesia, ensuring the immediate recovery of the post-intervention person compared to general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is performed with some minor injections in the area of the surgical intervention to relieve pain. While sedation involves intravenous injection of drugs that reduce anxiety and induce a light sleep state or a little deeper. It is worth noting that in local anesthesia, intubation is not used, holding the person breathing spontaneously, avoiding the use of devices that ensure breathing during general anesthesia.
3. SURGERY
In any case, the DERMOLIFE® staff aims to provide the person with a smooth and painless surgical experience. The Mastopexy operation is performed following a precise protocol that ensures maximum quality and safety, achieving excellent results without leaving visible marks. The Mastopexy procedure involves removing excess, aging skin and repositioning the chest and areolar glands providing a firm and lifted chest. DERMOLIFE® surgeons, with decades of experience, prefer to perform this procedure with a single circular incision around the areola, making the scars invisible. In extreme cases, when the chest has significantly diminished, a short vertical incision under the areola or even a horizontal incision that is covered from the side of the chest gland. Anesthesia as breast asymmetry can also be corrected, i.e., when one breast is larger than the other. In the case of breastfeeding, the child must wait at least 9 months from the last breastfeeding before performing this operation. It is worth noting that this intervention does not prevent breastfeeding. Mastopexy surgery lasts 50 - 90 minutes while in cases where a prosthesis needs to be inserted or asymmetry adjusted, it lasts 2 - 2 hours and 30 minutes. The Mastopexy technique is modern and the scar is invisible. DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgeons always ensure that each intervention is performed in accordance with your individuality. In any case, our surgical staff guarantees amazing results and you will feel more beautiful than ever because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
