Brystløft

Brystløft, also known as mastopeksi, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape and lift of the breasts. It is commonly performed to address sagging breasts, a condition that can result from factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, and gravity. The goal of a brystløft is to remove excess skin and reshape the remaining breast tissue to create a firmer, more elevated appearance.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes incisions around the nipple and areola, and sometimes extending downwards into the breast crease. Excess skin is then removed, and the breast tissue is repositioned and tightened. In some cases, a brystløft may be combined with breast augmentation, where implants are used to increase breast volume and achieve a fuller look. However, a brystløft on its own does not increase breast size.

The recovery period typically involves some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with pain medication. Patients are usually advised to wear a supportive surgical bra for several weeks. The final results of a brystløft become apparent as the swelling subsides and the tissues heal, usually within a few months. It is important for individuals considering a brystløft to have realistic expectations and to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their individual goals and the risks and benefits of the procedure.
