A new dimension of the medical field taking off in India is breast lift (mastopexy) surgery which utilises some of the latest techniques in corrective procedures. Some more cosmetic procedures include hair restoration (hair implants, hair flaps, and scalp reductions), rhinoplasties (reshaping or recontouring of the nose), stalling of the aging process (face lift, cosmetic eyelid surgery, brow lift, sub-metal lipectomy for double chin), dermabrasion (sanding of the face,) otoplasty for protruding ears, chin and cheek enlargement, lip reductions, various types of breast surgery and reconstruction and liposuction. But now foreigners are increasingly making a beeline in India for breast lift (mastopexy) surgery.   What is a breast lift?   Breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure which is commonly performed in men and in women to reshape sagging or drooping breasts and to give them a firm and youthful contour. Sagging breasts may result from losing a lot of weight too quickly, normal age related changes due to loss of elasticity, after multiple pregnancies and breast feeding. During the procedure for Breast Lift, the areola or the dark skin around the breasts is also reduced in size, and the nipple and areola are repositioned in relation to the new contour of the breast.   Who is a candidate for a breast lift?   The best candidates for a breast lift are those who are healthy, emotionally stable women who are realistic about the outcome of the surgery. The best results can usually be achieved in women with small, sagging breasts. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but the results may not last as long in heavy breasts.     How is the procedure performed for breast lifts?   Breast lift or mastopexy is usually performed in 1. 5 – 3. 5 hours depending on the amount of work involved. The most common procedure involves making an incision that follows the natural contour of the breast. The incision outlines the area from which breast skin will be removed and defines the new location for the nipple. When the excess skin has been removed, the nipple and areola are moved to the higher position. The skin surrounding the areola is then brought down and together to reshape the breast. Stitches are usually located around the areola, in a vertical line extending downwards from the nipple area, and along the lower crease of the breast.   The most sought-after services by foreigners are laser, Botox and fillers. Cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists say tourists in the age group of 20 to 30 years come for Rhinoplasty (nose job) and liposuction, while those between 30- 40 come to treat baggy eyelids. Those over 40 come for tummy tucks and face lifts. In fact, in the United States, cosmetic surgery is a luxury many middle-class Americans can’t afford. It’s also not covered by insurance. Americans are the biggest clients, followed by tourists from Eastern Europe, Far East and even Japan for breast lift (mastopexy) surgery in India.   To know more about breast lift (mastopexy) surgery in India:   http://tour2india4health. com/breast-reduction-lift-surgery-india. htm   To submit your case details at:   enquiry@tour2india4health. com
