Plastic Surgery In Taiwan


Plastic Surgery In Taiwan

 

Sagging breasts or breast ptosis is a real fear for women in Taiwan. Over time, or other factors like weight changes, the breasts also tend to sag. The mastopexy then presents itself as the best surgical solution to raise the chest and have more beautiful breasts.

 

Mastopexy in Taiwan

 

Mastopexy is a cosmetic surgery operation in Taiwan that consists of correcting drooping breasts by raising them. It is a real breast lift that allows you to find a pretty chest and its femininity. Let's not forget that this area is symbolic for women, its degradation can greatly affect self-esteem and self-perception.

 

Overall, the intervention aims to remove the excess skin to shape the breasts and allow the ascent of the mammary gland. It is then a mastopexy without an implant. On the other hand, if the volume of the breast is considered insufficient (breast hypoplasia), it is quite possible to combine this technique with the fitting of breast prostheses.

 

Depending on the patient's case, a unilateral mastopexy (one breast) or a bilateral mastopexy (both breasts) is performed.

 

Indications: why and when to perform a mastopexy in Taiwan?

 

Having become common, mastopexy is considered by many patients as the operation of happiness. A woman's life is indeed punctuated with events and adventures that modify the chest, making it less aesthetic.

 

Several factors can lead to considering a breast lift in Taiwan:


  • breast ptosis or sagging breasts,

  • breast asymmetry (difference in shape and/or volume),

  • breast hypertrophy (breasts that are too large),

  • advancing age,

  • after one or more pregnancies,

  • after breastfeeding,

  • after a significant change in weight.

 

The breast loses its firmness, its skin is relaxed and the nipple can descend to the same level as the inframammary fold. This alteration gives the appearance of empty and/or sagging breasts.

 

The main goal of a mastopexy is to lift the breasts. The chest should be above the sub mammary fold. Its shape will also be corrected to have a well-rounded lower contour and a centered areola. Thanks to this facelift, the breasts are given back their firmness, their elasticity, and their shape, like a second youth.

Mastopexy corrects a sagging chest and restores femininity to patients who request it.

 

How is a mastopexy performed in Taiwan?

 

Before a breast lift operation in Taiwan

 

Like any surgical procedure, mastopexy with or without an implant requires prior consultation with the surgeon in Taiwan. A personalized approach is necessary to define the expectations of the patient and the desired breast size.

 

During the consultation in Taiwan, your breasts will be examined to determine the best breast lift technique to adopt: mini breast lift, mastopexy with breast prostheses, lift with muscle strengthening… The first interview will therefore allow the cosmetic surgeon to perform a complete clinical examination.

 

You will have all the details concerning the choice of the technique, its advantages, its disadvantages, its limits, and the result. It is also an opportunity to underline the contraindications relating to the operation, such as tobacco which is likely to delay healing. You will also be recommended to stop smoking ideally two months before and after the procedure.

 

At the end of the first consultation, you will have an information sheet and a detailed estimate. Ultrasound and mammography are usually ordered before the procedure. At the latest 15 days before the operation in Taiwan, a second consultation may be necessary for additional examinations. This is also the time to consult the anesthesiologist.

 

During a breast lift operation in Taiwan

 

Depending on the extent of the procedure, mastopexy requires 12 to 24 hours of hospitalization in Taiwan. An overnight stay at the clinic is therefore not always required. Slight breast ptosis can for example be corrected in day surgery, allowing you to return the same day. The operation is performed under general anesthesia.

 

The choice of operating mode is based on several parameters:


  • the shape, size, and volume of the breast,

  • the characteristics of the skin (elasticity, firmness, etc.),

  • the position of the areola,

  • whether or not to use breast implants.

 

Different techniques are therefore possible depending on the stage of breast sagging:


  • the round-block technique for minor breast ptosis (incision around the areola),

  • vertical mastopexy for moderate ptosis,

  • inverted T mastopexy for severe ptosis.

 

After a breast lift operation in Taiwan

 

After the operation in Taiwan, swelling and/or bruising on the breasts is generally observed. It is also possible to experience discomfort when raising your arms. However, postoperative pain is moderate. You will be prescribed painkillers to relieve them.

 

A dressing is placed at the end of the mastopexy. It should be changed every two days. You have to wait at least two weeks to be able to remove the dressing and accelerate healing with the help of a healing cream. The scars left by the incisions take between 6 and 18 months to fade. They become more discreet over time.

 

It will take between 7 and 10 days of recovery after the operation in Taiwan. Wearing a compression bra for 2 months is also essential.

 

Post-operative complications are exceptional for this type of intervention: hematoma, healing disorders, loss of breast sensitivity which regresses over the months, and asymmetry of the nipples.

 

The results of a mastopexy in Taiwan

 

The result of a breast lift is appreciated 2 to 3 months after the operation. Even with a mastopexy without an implant, the volume of the breasts is not visually less important thanks to the removal of excess skin as well as the repositioning of the mammary gland and the nipple.

 

The duration of a mastopexy in Taiwan

 

The intervention lasts between 1h30 and 3 hours depending on the importance of the breast ptosis and the extent of the surgical procedure.

 

The cost of a mastopexy in Taiwan

 

A mini breast lift without an implant is around 4500 euros in Taiwan. Larger mastopexies vary between 5,500 and 7,900 euros. The highest prices are for a breast lift associated with the fitting of breast prostheses.
