Breast Augmentation Mastopexy

What is a Breast Augmentation Mastopexy?
A Breast Augmentation Mastopexy is a combined surgical procedure designed to address both volume loss and sagging of the breasts. It involves placing breast implants to restore or enhance breast size, while simultaneously removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue to create a more lifted, youthful contour. This procedure is ideal for patients who want fuller, rounder, and more uplifted breasts in a single operation.

Who is a good candidate?
You may be a suitable candidate for this procedure if you:

• Have lost breast volume due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging
• Experience sagging or drooping of the breasts (ptosis)
• Desire both increased fullness and improved breast shape
• Are in good general health and a non-smoker
• Have realistic expectations about the outcomes

What happens during the surgery?
The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and typically takes 2 to 3 hours. Mr Ibrahim uses a tailored approach, which may include:

• Incisions: Depending on your anatomy and goals, incisions may be made around the areola (periareolar), vertically down from the areola to the breast crease (lollipop), or in an anchor shape. Every effort is made to minimise visible scarring.
• Implant Placement: Implants are carefully positioned either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle to achieve a natural look and feel.
• Lifting and Reshaping: Excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a higher, more youthful position.
• Closure: Incisions are closed with fine, dissolvable sutures, and a supportive surgical bra is applied.

What is the recovery like?

• Hospital Stay: Usually an overnight stay for monitoring.
• Initial Recovery (1–2 weeks): You will wear a support bra day and night. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and managed with prescribed medication. Light walking is encouraged, but avoid lifting or strenuous activity.
• Returning to Work: Most patients return to desk-based work within 2 weeks.
• Exercise: Avoid heavy lifting and upper-body workouts for at least 6 weeks. Gradual return to light cardio can begin after 3–4 weeks.
• Final Results: Swelling subsides over several weeks, with final shape and implant settling evident after 3–6 months. Scars will fade significantly over 12–18 months.

What are the potential risks?
As with all surgeries, risks include infection, bleeding, and anaesthetic complications. Specific risks of this combined procedure include:

• Changes in nipple sensation
• Scarring, though efforts are made to place incisions discreetly
• Implant-related risks such as capsular contracture, rupture, or asymmetry
• Rare complications such as poor wound healing or revision surgery

Mr Ibrahim will discuss all risks in detail during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
