Mammoplasty & Mastopexy

Mammoplasty:

• Procedure to increase breast size using silicone implants

• Incisions can be made in the inframammary fold, around the areola or in the armpit

• Implants are placed in pockets created behind the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle

Mastopexia (Breast Lift):

• Procedure to lift and reshape sagging breasts, without necessarily changing their volume

• Removes excess skin and repositions the nipple-areola complex

• Different types of incision (periareolar, vertical or anchor) depending on the degree of sagging

Difference:

Mammoplasty focuses on increasing volume, while mastopexy focuses on lifting and reshaping. They are often performed together in procedures called "mastopexy with implants."
