Scarless Breast Lift Sydney

Scarless Mastopexy (breast lift) from a specialist Sydney plastic surgeon

A scarless breast lift (Mastopexy) is an operation where an incision is made, not on the breast mound, hence the name scarless, because there is no incision around the nipple or the breast, but rather in the crease, using the characteristics of the implant, both augmenting the volume of the breast and lifting it. With a scarless breast lift you're not going to get a high perky fake breast look.

Traditional Breast Lift

The breast lift, also known as the mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise the breasts and remove sagginess or drooping. This is done by removing excess skin to tighten the surrounding tissue and support a better contour. It's common for the internal tissue to be reshaped as well.

However, there are some risks associated, these include:

  • Surgical risks such as bleeding or infection
  • Seroma accumulation under the breast. This fluid may need to be drained under ultrasound guidance.
  • Visible and prominent scars including keloid and hypertrophic scars
  • Temporary or permanent areas of numbness around the scars
  • Changes in breast and nipple sensation
  • Asymmetry of the breasts
  • Partial or total loss of nipple and areola
  • Need for further surgery to treat complications
  • Revision surgery to correct any unevenness between the two sides

Dr Moradi will always provide relevant and important information for breast procedures based off the results and aesthetics you want to achieve.

Scarless Breast Lift

In comparison to a traditional breast lift (and the tradition lift incision technique used), with a scarless breast lift, there are no incisions around the nipple or around the breast. Rather in the crease and using the characteristics of the implant; both augmenting the volume of the breast, as well as lifting the lower pole of the breast.

Procedure Candidacy

Now, a scarless breast lift is not for everybody. I think the two most important things to understand is that patients expectations with scarless breast lift surgery is never going to get a high perky result. It's all about the breast dimensions as well. So who is a candidate for it?

Generally speaking, you need the nipple at or above the crease if the nipple is below the crease. Probably not a candidate for a scarless breast lift and if you go breast volume below the crease, it has to be minimal volume. You can't have heavy breasts below the crease.

NOTE: if you need a lift, you need a lift. A scarless breast lift won't help you.

Important Patient Factors:

1) Expectations: You can't expect a perky "fake-looking" result. The results are always the more "natural" look.

2) Breast bio-dimensions: The nipple needs to sit at or above the breast crease and there mustn't be heavy breast tissue below the crease just loose skin.

The tissue below the crease needs to be predominantly skin and not glandular breast tissue. It is impossible for the implant to lift heavy glandular tissue but entirely achievable to lift loose light skin.

Breast Implant Type and Profile used for Scarless Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Some surgeons may advise you are limited to only anatomical implants when undergoing scarless breast lift (Mastopexy)surgery. This is simply not true. Dr Moradi can carefully select a Motiva Ergonomix implant that aims to help create the same shape and results as an anatomical (teardrop) implant. In this instance, the breast implant volume will be needed to help reinflate the breast tissue following breastfeeding.

The most common profile used is the Moderate Plus/Demi profile. Dr Moradi will first reinflate the volume that has invariably been lost after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Then push the anterior a little more to expand the skin and breast tissue.

Dr Moradi will choose to place the breast implant above or below the muscle depending on how much lift (Mastopexy) is required; going above the muscle gives more of a lift than below the muscle. However, his preference is to place the implant below the muscle using a dual plane 3 pocket to allow as much contact between the implant and the lower pole of the breast tissue.

Why patients choose scarless breast lift (Mastopexy) over traditional breast lift (Mastopexy)

Whilst recovery from breast implant removal surgery varies with each patient, most would agree that recovery from this surgery is usually smoother than the initial breast augmentation. This procedure isn't recommended if you want to retain the size and appearance of your breasts with implants in place.

Most of Dr Moradi's patients are able to return to work five days after a breast explant and report minimal discomfort after the surgery.
