MASTOPEXY ACCORDING TO RIBEIRO
Mastopexy with Autoprosthesis according to Ribeiro vs Augmentative Mastopexy with Prosthesis: Advantages and Differences
Mastopexy with autoprosthesis according to Ribeiro is an innovative technique that is gaining more and more attention compared to the traditional augmentative mastopexy with prosthesis. If you are considering a breast lift procedure to improve the shape and position of your breasts, it is essential to know the differences between these two surgical techniques. Each option offers unique advantages, but mastopexy with autoprosthesis provides more natural and long-lasting results.
What is Mastopexy with Autoprosthesis according to Ribeiro?
Mastopexy with autoprosthesis is a technique that uses the patient's fat tissue (taken from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips) to shape and add volume to the breast. This approach, developed by Brazilian surgeon Ribeiro, is particularly suitable for patients who want to improve the shape of their breasts without using artificial implants.
Advantages of Mastopexy with Autoprosthesis according to Ribeiro
Augmentative Mastopexy with Prosthesis: Pros and Cons
Augmentative mastopexy with prosthesis is a very popular solution for patients who want to increase breast volume as well as lift it. The use of implants allows for an immediate result, but it does have some disadvantages:
Less Natural Results: Implants, even if high quality, can look less natural compared to fat tissue taken from the same patient.
Risk of Complications: Implants can cause problems such as capsular contracture, infections, or device rupture.
Need for Replacement: Implants may require replacement over time, whereas fat tissue does not need to be changed.
Conclusions
Mastopexy with autoprosthesis according to Ribeiro is an excellent option for patients who want a more natural, long-lasting result without complications related to the use of implants. In addition, the technique offers the advantage of minimizing visible scars and improving the overall body contour. However, the final choice always depends on the individual needs of each patient, the shape of the breast, and the desired aesthetic result.
If you are looking for a procedure that respects the harmony of your body, we recommend consulting an experienced plastic surgeon who can explain the best options for you, helping you make an informed and conscious decision.
Natural and Long-Lasting Results: By using your own fat tissue, the breast has a more natural appearance. Moreover, the result tends to last over time, as the harvested fat tissue integrates perfectly into the breast. Lower Risk of Rejection or Complications: Since no artificial implants are used, the risk of rejection or implant-related infections is greatly reduced. Ribeiro's technique also offers a lower risk of capsular contracture, a common problem in mastopexy with implants. Personalized Aesthetic Results: Mastopexy with autoprosthesis allows for greater customization of the result, as the surgeon can work directly with the patient's tissue to achieve a shape and volume that best suit the patient's body structure. Few Visible Scars: Being a less invasive technique compared to augmentative mastopexy with prosthesis, mastopexy with autoprosthesis results in fewer visible scars and generally a faster recovery. Overall Body Contouring: Harvesting fat tissue from surrounding areas also allows for an aesthetic improvement in other parts of the body, enhancing the overall contour.
