Who is this procedure for?
This procedure is intended for people with stabilized weight loss.
You are experiencing sagging breasts, excess skin, or a loss of breast volume.
The request often concerns significant weight loss, sometimes after bariatric surgery.
A lasting weight stability is necessary before any surgical indication.
The absence of medical contraindications is a prerequisite for proceeding with the project.
Consultation process
The consultations allow for an analysis of breast morphology and skin quality.
The clinical examination assesses the degree of ptosis, the residual volume, and the position of the areola.
Breast imaging examinations may be requested depending on age and context.
The technical options are explained in detail and on a personalized basis.
A written quote specifies the procedures, recovery, and expected outcomes.
The procedure in practice
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
The duration varies depending on the chosen technique and associated procedures.
The principles involve a mastopexy, with removal of the excess skin.
The breast is repositioned, the areola recentered, and the volume improved.
A complement with implants or fat grafting may be considered depending on the case.
Post-operative recovery
The recovery involves swelling and temporary bruising.
Pain is generally moderate and managed with appropriate treatment.
Wearing a support bra is usually recommended for several weeks.
A gradual return to daily activities is expected.
Regular medical follow-up monitors healing and progress.
Results and scars
The goal is a firmer, lifted and proportionate breast.
The final appearance is assessed after several months, once the tissues have stabilized.
Scars depend on the technique used and the initial degree of ptosis.
They gradually fade over time.
Satisfaction depends on adherence to instructions and individual characteristics.
Risks and possible complications
Like any surgery, this procedure carries potential risks.
These include healing problems, residual asymmetry, or altered sensation.
More rare complications may occur depending on individual factors.
All these possibilities are explained during consultations.
Clear information allows for an informed decision.
Fees and coverage
Coverage depends on whether the request is functional or purely aesthetic.
A reconstructive indication may, in some cases, qualify for partial reimbursement.
Aesthetic procedures are generally not covered.
Fees vary depending on the technique, complexity, and associated procedures.
An indicative price range is provided on the quote given after consultation.
