• Corrects breast sagging (ptosis)<\/strong> with or without volume changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Option to add implants<\/strong> or reduce breast volume for enhanced shape<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Commonly recommended after significant weight loss<\/strong> or pregnancy<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  What Is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  A breast lift<\/strong> is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the areola<\/strong> and restore a more youthful and harmonious breast contour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Breast ptosis, or sagging, often develops after pregnancy<\/strong>, breastfeeding<\/strong>, or weight fluctuations<\/strong>. Various techniques are available to reshape the breast depending on your anatomy and goals. In some cases, implants<\/strong> or fat grafting<\/strong> may be recommended to restore volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Types of Breast Lift Procedures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  \n
  • For moderate sagging<\/strong>, a small volume increase<\/strong> using implants or fat can provide a lifting effect without additional scarring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If no volume enhancement<\/strong> is desired, the breast can be reshaped with a scar around the areola<\/strong> (round-block technique).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • For moderate to severe sagging<\/strong>, additional incisions may be necessary:\n
    \n
    • Vertical scar<\/strong>: for moderate ptosis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Inverted T scar<\/strong>: for more significant sagging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      How the Procedure Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      • If there\u2019s a family history of breast cancer<\/strong>, a mammogram and ultrasound<\/strong> may be required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If fat transfer (lipofilling)<\/strong> is planned, a pre-op breast MRI<\/strong> is mandatory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The surgery is performed under general anesthesia<\/strong> after a required pre-anesthetic consultation (min. 48 hours prior)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Usually involves one overnight stay<\/strong> (admission at 1 PM, discharge at 11 AM the next day).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The surgery is not very painful<\/strong>, but a recovery period of 5 to 7 days<\/strong> off work is advised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udd0d Note<\/strong>: This procedure is distinct from tuberous breast correction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

              \r\n

              In most cases, no<\/strong>. Breast lifts are considered cosmetic procedures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

              • A breast reduction<\/strong> (\u2265300g removed per breast)<\/li>\n
              • A malformation<\/strong> (e.g., tuberous breasts or severe asymmetry)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                In these cases, your surgeon must submit a prior authorization request to the French Assurance Maladie.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/details>\r\n
