The need or not of an implant in the breast lift is determined by several factors. The first and most important is the patient's wish, since it is an intervention that can be carried out perfectly in any of the ways.

However, the use of implants will allow us to play much more with the final size of the breast. A mastopexy Without a prosthesis it is ideal for patients who want to avoid the use of implants, who are happy with the volume they have and only want to improve the loss or who even wish to reduce it minimally. For them, you can make a simple mastopexy or a mastopexy with “Pitanguy autoprosthesis”. In this intervention, the breast is remodeled, discarding the minimum amount of gland possible and the maximum amount of excess skin. By repositioning the structures in a precise way we can return the breast to its original position with minimal loss of volume and without the need to use breast implants. The result in this case will be completely natural, with the new breasts having an identical behavior to the natural breasts since they do not contain any additives.

The choice of the type of implant depends on many factors, but mainly on the result you want to obtain. There must be fluid communication between you and your plastic surgeon to facilitate the selection of the ideal breast implant. Good advice is usually not to be guided by volume alone. Many patients come with preconceived ideas regarding volumes that they have seen on friends and want a similar result by placing the same implant. Each woman's body is unique and should be treated as such, in an individual and personalized way.

Remember that safety is a fundamental part of this selection process, so implants with excessive volumes that could cause problems in the future will not be placed. Depending on your tastes and measurements, our plastic surgeon in Alicante, Dr. Jorge García Juarranz, will recommend a series of implants that allow you to achieve your goal without compromising naturalness or safety.

Given that in cases of sagging breast or “breast ptosis” we have most of the volume in the lower pole, it is very common for round implants to be used in this intervention. They provide volume where we need it most and, in addition, they do not have complications due to implant rotation.

Our plastic surgeon specializing in mastopexy in Alicante will tell you the approach (scars) for your breast lift surgery. Depending on the shape and fall of the breast, the scar will be located around the areola (periareolar), periareolar and vertical or a complete inverted T.

They are scars that are very scary when explained, but are very well tolerated when located in strategic places on the breast, such as the groove or the natural color changes of the areola. Although during the first year they will be visible, after this time they lighten and are almost completely hidden. During the postoperative period you will receive specific treatment to improve the scars and specific instructions on how to care for them.

The postoperative period of an operation breast lift o mastopexy It is usually quite bearable. Normally, you will wake up without pain, but with a feeling of pressure on your chest as the implant will be pushing against your tissues to create space. The next four to five days you may experience mild discomfort or pain related to arm movements. Even so, it is important that you maintain a normal level of activity to avoid shoulder and back contractures. With the help of painkillers it is a stage that can be overcome without problems.

Remember that during the first two weeks you should not take the car. The normal thing is that nothing happens to the implant, but if you need to react suddenly you must be in full power to avoid an accident. Likewise, after any breast surgery, not only the mastopexy, you should try not to lift heavy weights or raise your arm above shoulder height. This contracts and stretches the pectoralis, which can change the position of the implant.

The most anticipated moment comes a few days after the surgery, during the first cure, when we will finally see our result. It's also usually quite disappointing. The chest will look swollen and appear “too high” or even “upside down.” The skin will be under tension and the touch will be much harder than that of a natural breast. As the weeks go by, the pectoral swells and the gland lowers to its final position, something that during the first weeks you will be able to see almost daily. We can see the final result once three months have passed after the intervention. At that moment it is no longer disappointing at all.
