Introduction to Mastopexy
Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to uplift and rejuvenate breasts that have lost their elasticity and firmness due to various factors. This surgery meticulously addresses sagging by repositioning the nipple, reshaping the mammary gland, and removing excess skin, thereby restoring the breasts to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position. Dr. António Conde’s expertise in mastopexy ensures that each patient receives a customized approach to achieve their desired outcome.
