Mastopexy Without Implants in Brazil: Candidacy and Recovery
Mastopexy without implants (a breast lift using the patient’s own tissue) repositions the breast to a higher, firmer position without adding implant volume. At Belvivere Plastic Surgery, in Criciúma, Santa Catarina, Dr. June Favarin and Dr. Eduardo Favarin bring 20 years of experience and have cared for more than 8,000 patients from Brazil and other countries, with surgeries performed in a hospital setting.
Who Is a Candidate
Patients with adequate breast volume who are mainly concerned with sagging — rather than lost volume — are usually the best candidates for a lift without implants. Those who also want more fullness may be better served by combining a lift with an implant or with fat grafting, which is discussed individually.
The Procedure and Its Risks
The technique and resulting scar pattern depend on the degree of sagging and skin excess. The surgery is performed under anesthesia in an accredited hospital. Risks include bleeding, infection, changes in nipple sensation, asymmetry and scarring, discussed individually before surgery.
Recovery
Recovery involves wearing a supportive bra, activity restriction for a period of weeks, and follow-up visits to monitor healing and scar formation. Our team provides a realistic recovery timeline during the consultation and follows up in person during your stay in Criciúma.
