MASTOPEXY
Mastopexy is a surgical technique that helps reshape and lift the breast, and is an ideal choice for women who wish to restore the shape and elasticity of their breasts after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. During the mastopexy procedure, the plastic surgeon removes excess skin and glandular tissue and reshapes the breast to create a more youthful and harmonious appearance. There are several surgical techniques used to perform mastopexy, including the inverted T technique, the vertical scar technique, and the periareolar technique.
In summary, mastopexy is an effective surgical procedure to reshape and lift the breast, and the choice of technique depends on the individual needs of the patient. It is important to consult a qualified plastic surgeon to determine which mastopexy technique is most suitable for each patient's needs.
A particular type of mastopexy is the surgical technique with autologous prosthesis according to Ribeiro, which allows for a natural and long-lasting reshaping of the breast with a final shape that resembles that of a breast subjected to augmentation mammoplasty. This procedure uses the patient's own glandular-adipose tissue to create biological breast implants, instead of using classic silicone breast implants.
The autologous prosthesis technique according to Ribeiro has several advantages over the use of silicone breast implants. First of all, the tissues that make up the autologous prosthesis are biocompatible, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. In addition, the appearance and feel of autologous prostheses are more natural compared to artificial implants and there is no need to worry about possible ruptures or capsular contractures.
However, it is important to keep in mind that this type of technique is not suitable for all patients. It is important to consult a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if the autologous prosthesis technique according to Ribeiro is the most appropriate choice for one's individual needs. In general, mastopexy with autologous prosthesis according to Ribeiro represents a safe and natural option for women who wish to improve the appearance of their breasts.
