What is a Brazilian Mastopexy?

Frequently I will see patients who are unhappy with shape and contour of their breasts but do not wish augmentation of their size. When adequate breast volume is present a mastopexy or breast lift is indicated. Mastopexies attempt to lift the breast while preserving volume and reducing the skin envelope. Over the years I had become dissatisfied with the long-term results of primary mastopexies without implant placement. In my search for a better procedure, I met Dr. Ruth Graf of Brazil who developed an innovative technique of mastopexy which provides excellent long term results and in my opinion is better than other described procedures.

The Brazilian Mastopexy that I learned from her corrects breast ptosis for those patients who have adequate volume and do not require or desire the addition of a breast implant. In this procedure the nipple is moved to its new location while maintaining an attachment to the breast tissue. A portion of breast tissue in the inferior portion is then moved to the superior breast to correct ptosis and provide superior fullness. This tissue is maintained in its new position by a loop of chest wall muscle that acts as an anchor to provide a permanent long-term fullness
