Mastopexy is a surgical operation indicated to correct the shape and displacement of the breast below the breast fold; this dislocation is known as breast ptosis, is measured in centimeters and can affect the mammary gland (glandular ptosis), the nipple-areola complex (cutaneous ptosis) or both.

Before mastopexy surgery
Mastopexy is an operation that requires an accurate pre-operative specialist visit during which the surgeon will evaluate the patient's requests, the condition of the breasts, choose the shape and size of the breast suited to the biometric parameters and the surgical procedure best suited to the case.
If the breasts are small and sagging but have not lost volume, it may be sufficient to proceed with a mastopexy. If, however, the sagging breast has lost all or part of its volume or is very large, it is advisable to perform a mastopexy associated, respectively, with an additive mammoplasty or a reduction mammoplasty to restore shape, volume and firmness.
During mastopexy surgery
The procedure of mastopexy surgery does not differ much from that of reduction mammoplasty. No glandular tissue is removed which is instead entirely preserved and modeled with internal incisions and sutures. The excess skin is eliminated; if the ptosis is not excessive it can be corrected by leaving only a circular scar around the areola, "Round-Block".
An internal support is made from the patient's tissues which fixes and stabilizes the residual breast mass to the pectoralis major muscle. This support performs the function of a sturdy ligament which on the one hand permanently suspends the breast, and on the other prevents its weight from weighing on the scars which, not being subjected to tension, are of good quality and can be limited, even for significantly larger breasts. relaxed and large in volume, with a periareolar scar and a vertical scar from the areola to the breast fold.
