Want to feel more confident at the gym? (1/2)

Do you want to put on a top and go to the gym feeling more confident in your movements? Let’s talk about this wonderful case then 🥰

This is a case of secondary mastopexy, with skin showing a strong tendency toward laxity. She had already undergone a mastopexy with implants in late adolescence because her breasts had developed with hypertrophy and laxity. Life went on, with weight gain her breasts grew, and now she has found her way into the fitness lifestyle and lost a significant amount of weight! It’s time to reconnect her breasts with her new lifestyle and shine even brighter (because she shines, you know?) 😍

We performed a mastopexy with polyurethane-coated implants placed in the subglandular plane (between the breast gland and the muscle), allowing for significant skin excision while preserving her muscular anatomy and residual glandular tissue. The characteristic higher adhesion of these implants helps prevent bottoming out in breasts prone to laxity. For those who enjoy weight training (and everyone should, haha), an advantage is that the implants do not shift during upper limb exercises, nor is there a risk of displacement during movement. 🏋

The implants used were not large, but we chose the most appropriate diameter for her chest to provide fill without excess in the lateral or central areas. This varies according to each individual’s characteristics. 😊
Secondary surgeries are always more challenging, therefore planning is an essential step in the procedure. 👩🏼‍⚕️
