Mammoplasty for ptosis (Sagging breasts)in Lyon and Geneva
Thanks to a simple and almost painless surgical procedure, the volume loss associated with sagging skin tissue in a breast can be corrected to improve a hollow-looking cleavage.
This volume loss is the natural consequence of aging and can also be observed following pregnancies or significant weight loss.
A medical consultation will allow the surgeon to recommend the appropriate volume as well as the required scar length to reshape your breasts.
Usually, there is a peri-areolar scar as well as another, vertical, scar. Sometimes, a third, horizontal scar in the breast fold is necessary. The surgical scars will fade over the period of a year. The surgeon will advise you on specific treatments to enhance the quality of the final result.
Procedure
This type of surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and lasts for between one and a half and two and a half hours on average. An overnight stay in hospital is necessary, during which a surgical drain avoids any risk of haematoma.
The patient is discharged the following day with waterproof dressings placed on the surgical site to facilitate showering, as well as a special supportive post-surgical bra, which must be worn for three weeks after the operation.
Physical exercise can only be resumed from the sixth week post-surgery.
