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.

In any case, the consultation with Dr. Franklin Peña will help you assess the success of the surgery and which one is the most appropriate according to your physical conditions.

The mastopexy is the aesthetic surgery that is responsible for the fallen chest. When the skin of the breasts presents flaccidity, for reasons of weight change, distension of the skin (age, pregnancy, volume) produces an excessive fall of the breasts called ptosis.

It is very common that the breasts lose firmness over the years, since the neck area is only supported by the skin itself, since there are no bones to support it.

What is mastopexy?

The breast lift consists of placing the breasts in their original anatomical location from which they have left for different reasons. This type of surgery does not involve an increase, but repositioning of the breast tissue, elevation of the areolas and nipples and the elimination of excess skin from the fallen chest to achieve a more harmonious breast appearance.

The benefits of breast lift (mastopexy)

The advantages of a mastopexy are mainly aesthetic and, therefore, are directly related to the patient’s self-esteem. But, also it is possible to emphasize, that in certain occasions the fallen chest can cause pain of back and neck, due to the weight and its relation with the position.

Both breast lift (mastopexy) and breast lift with implants (mastopexy with augmentation) can transform your figure.

Breast lift without implants can help a woman whose breasts are sitting on top of her stomach. They are lifted so that the breasts are back in their chest without support, as they were before the children, increase and / or weight loss and over the years.

Mastopexy with prosthesis

A breast lift with implants has all the advantages of a breast lift, including the ability to lift the breasts off the stomach to make the stomach look smaller and the ability to take the nipples that point south and make them point forward again. In addition to these advantages, a breast lift with implants can give something that a breast lift without implants can not; the coveted fullness in the upper part. And is that when you add prostheses in addition to raising the breast, volume is given.

Let yourself be advised by a professional plastic surgeon

To determine if you need a breast augmentation or a lift, it is likely that you need to visit a plastic surgeon to make an assessment and recommend the most appropriate for your case.

Is that the differences between breast lift and breast augmentation are few, but very relevant. Hence the importance of a good pre-operative diagnosis by a plastic surgeon to obtain a satisfactory result.
