What is Augmentation Mastopexy?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Augmentation mastopexy<\/b> is a surgical procedure that combines breast lift (mastopexy)<\/b> with implant placement. It is ideal for women seeking both lift and volume increase<\/b> simultaneously, particularly in cases of sagging breasts with insufficient volume, after weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or aging.<\/b><\/p>

The method that has been pioneered, developed, and published<\/b> by Dr. Stamatiou, based on the TESMA<\/b> technique, has been proven safe, reproducible with predictable results, and effective even in difficult cases.<\/p>

Both procedures \u2013 augmentation and lift \u2013 are always performed in one stage<\/b>. The technique offers a natural breast shape<\/b> with stable upper pole fullness and long-term predictable results.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Frequently Asked Questions About Augmentation Mastopexy\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n
\n
Is the surgery painful?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Post-operative pain is minimal. Within three days, the patient can raise her arms without pain and return to office work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
How long is the recovery?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Most patients return to their daily activities within a few days.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Comfortable arm movement from the 3rd day<\/li>\n
  • Light activity in 3 days<\/li>\n
  • Full exercise in 3\u20134 weeks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>
    \n
    Is a bra needed after surgery?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

    With the TESMA<\/b> technique, the result does not depend on wearing a bra after surgery, because the implants are naturally supported by an internal muscular bra<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    In contrast, in all other breast augmentation techniques worldwide, wearing a bra after surgery is recommended for various periods of time to achieve better results, as the weight of the implants is not supported by the muscle.<\/p>\n

    With TESMA, the patient can choose whether to wear a simple or sports bra for comfort, for as long as she prefers. However, the final result is not affected by wearing a bra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    Will I need to replace the implants?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

    Implants do not have an “expiration date”, but they are not considered permanent. With TESMA, revisions are rare and usually unrelated to implant failure. This single\u2011stage method has been proven to have no major complications <\/b>across decades of use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    Will the implants be visible or palpable?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

    No. Full muscle coverage ensures that the implants are undetectable<\/b> in appearance or touch and follow the natural movement of the breast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    What do the scars look like after surgery?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

    The length of the scars depends on how severe the breast sagging is and how much skin will be removed.
    In general, the use of implants allows less skin to be removed, so the scars are smaller. Most scars fade over time<\/strong>, and laser resurfacing<\/strong> can also be performed to improve their appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    Are smokers candidates for the procedure?
    <\/span><\/i><\/div>

    Yes, however it is necessary to follow our <\/span>perioperative instructions<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
