Breast Lift T Incision Procedure
A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).
The T-incision usually achieves the greatest amount of breast lifting. However, it also requires the largest incisions that go around the aereola, down the breast and under the breast.
The appropriate amount of skin is removed.
The breast tissue is tightened with internal sutures. External suture is used to close the skin around the areola, down the breast, and under the breast.
Healing time may take several weeks. A special bra is usually worn to support the breast for up to three months. The compression bra is an important part of the recovery process. The bra provides support, comfort and helps to minimize swelling.
