Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding change the size and shape of a woman’s breasts, as do changes in weight and aging which can also affect the appearance of the breasts. When the breasts lose volume and start to sag, the breast lift (mastopexy) performed by Dr Gagnon helps to lift the breast, recreate lost volume and restore your breasts to give them a more youthful and firmer shape and appearance.
Mastopexy is a good option when pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes or breast enlargement have caused the breasts to sag, which therefore have an excess of skin and suffer from a loss of elasticity.
Breast lift gives a second life to the cleavage, which gains in firmness, and contributes to a better self-image.
This act can also be conjugated with the implantation of breast prostheses in order to harmonize the appearance of the breast.

You may be a good candidate for breast surgery if you meet one or more of the following conditions:
The goal of the ptosis cure is to put the areola back in its proper position, and to reshape the breast in order to obtain harmonious, lifted and reshaped breasts. The eventual resulting scars will depend on the extent (and therefore the grade) of the ptosis. Thus, three types of scars are possible on the breast, depending on the clinical examination. The breast lift can be performed at the end of growth. Future pregnancies and breastfeeding are obviously possible. This surgical lifting will allow the breast to regain its shape by removing excess skin, condensing the mammary gland and raising the areola and the nipple.
When ptosis is conjugated with insufficient volume, the breast is raised to restore breast volume. It can also be associated with the placement of breast implants.
Depending on the extent of the sagging, the surgeon may perform different types of scars:
Before the surgery, the surgeon will be able to offer you a treatment adapted to your morphology but also to the extent of the ptosis.
The result of a breast lift is visible immediately after your procedure. The chest is rounder, the breasts are firmer and are positioned higher up in a symmetrical way. It will take about six months for you to see the final result of your breast lift, when the swelling and bruising will have gone away.
The lifting is truly finished after a year, when the scars have gradually faded into fine white lines that are almost undetectable. It is nevertheless preferable to pay attention to your chest, because it remains sensitive to hormonal variations and excessive weight gain.
Choose a modern and innovative cosmetic surgery for a unique and natural result which is adapted to your desires and needs.
