The plasty of elevation or mastopexy It is a surgical procedure used to reposition breasts that have lost firmness.

There are different surgical techniques, but basically all of them aim to make a reception of skin that will contribute to firmness to the bust, at the same time that we perform an internal plasty with the breast tissue itself designing a kind of prosthesis that we anchor superiorly so that it does not fall again. In cases in which in addition to having a ptotic (fallen) chest excites a mammary hypoplacia (small chest), we will need to place a submuscular prosthesis to obtain a more satisfactory result.

Leijjour technique: The surgery described is usually performed under general anesthesia, with incisions around the areola and other incisions that we will transform into a single vertical scar (technique), WITHOUT NEEDING TO ADD THE OLD SUBMARIAN SCREENING HORIZONTAL (inverted T), in order to leave as little scar as possible. The stitches are inside the skin, are reabsorbed alone and do not remove any (intrauteric suppura), the final result of the scar being a fine line that 12-16 months is not appreciated. We will leave the drains for a period of approximately twenty-four hours, after which they are removed and the patient will be able to go home.
