What does a typical mastopexy consultation entail?
At your consultation the surgeon should measure your breasts and general torso area to determine a natural and aesthetically pleasing post-op position for your breasts and areola/nipple complex. He or she should take into account your skin condition (i.e., elasticity and thickness) and age. Sometimes a surgeon will offer the option of inserting an implant to create fullness and lift. Your surgeon should also go over the details of how a mastopexy is performed, the possible risks and complications involved and any postoperative special care instructions. Be sure to ask about the scars that will result from this surgery. The surgeon should also discuss all fees involved so you’re not surprised by hidden costs. The consultation is your opportunity to ask any questions and raise any concerns you may have before deciding whether to commit to mastopexy.
