Mastopexy

The breast is the symbol par excellence of femininity. With advancing age, after breastfeeding or after weight loss, the breast tends to lose tone and consequently its original shape. All this is reflected on the entire female body: having a flabby, not very toned breast means having a body that is not harmonious, less beautiful and causes malaise.

But there is a remedy for all this: mastopexy, the procedure that corrects saggy breast and shape defects. But what does mastopexy actually do? It lifts and reshape the breasts, making them firm as they used to be. The final result? Upper Breast with more projection. With a balanced breast it is the whole body that benefits, a beautiful and attractive body, for a happier and more confident woman.

During the first visit, I always make sure of my patient’s state of health, I assess risks and achievable results and answer any clarifying questions. Depending on the size of the breast and the defect, I will advice the best procedure.There are mainly 3 techniques: the periareolar (scars around areola only), the vertical scar only and the T scar technique.

After the incision and removal or remodeling of excess skin, I reposition the breast tissue, areola and nipple higher up. In this way both breasts will be raised and in a more natural position. Mastopexy can be performed in conjunction with other breast procedures: additive mastoplasty and reductive mastoplasty.

The surgery, performed under general anesthesia, takes about two or three hours and it requires hospitalization for one night. During the recovery it is essential to use a sports bra to ensure the right support for the breast. For a week it is absolutely not recommended to drive and it is good not to practice any physical activity for about a month . However, two weeks after the surgery you can come back to work.

A week after surgery I remove the bandages in order to check the healing of the wounds. I meet the patient again in week two, week six and after twelve months to make sure she is fully recovered.

Scars are not usually not a problem even if are longer the a breast enlargement surgery. Located on the fold under the breast, around the areola and down from the areola to the fold like an anchor, they will be very small and, over time, practically invisible. The breasts will again be toned and beautiful to look at because they are in balance with the other lines of the body.

I first heard about Dr M through a friend who had her breasts done by him around 8 years ago and ever since then I always knew that when the time was right he would be the surgeon I would go to. I had always admired his work, especially how natural his results look, so choosing him was never really a question for me. From my very first consultation with Dr M, I knew I had made the right decision. He was so kind, welcoming and patient and he genuinely listened to everything I had hoped for from my breast augmentation (and believe me, I had a lot to ramble on about!). He understood exactly what I was looking for and immediately put my mind at ease. I never once felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. He made it very clear that I could come back for as many consultations as I needed between my first appointment and surgery, which made such a difference to my confidence and helped me feel completely comfortable with my decision. A few weeks before my surgery, Dr M even called me himself just to check in, see how I was feeling and go over a few things with me. It was little things like that which really showed me how much he genuinely cared about his patients. And then there’s Winta, Dr M’s PA. That woman is an absolute godsend and truly one very special lady! I honestly don’t know how I would have got through the whole process without her. She is so warm, kind and gentle and has been there for me throughout the entire journey. She has always been available to answer my questions, calm my worries and reassure me whenever I needed it and I can assure you, there were A LOT of questions and worries 😂 After surgery, I was quite anxious about some of the things I was experiencing, but Winta was always just a message away. She was so reassuring and made sure I understood what was normal, while also checking that I was recovering well and that everything was okay. She really went above and beyond and made what could have been a very overwhelming process feel so much easier. I genuinely cannot thank Dr M, Winta and the whole team enough. I am absolutely in love with my results and for the first time in my life I can look at my chest and feel feminine, confident and happy with what I see. That feeling means more to me than I can put into words. If you’re considering a breast augmentation and wondering which surgeon to choose, I honestly cannot recommend Dr M and his team enough. His work speaks for itself, but it’s the care, reassurance and personal experience throughout the whole process that really makes them stand out. Thank you so much, Dr M and Winta, for everything. I couldn’t be happier with my results and I’m so grateful I chose you both. ❤️

Dr Marcellino - Where to Start It’s took me a few months to write this review as quite simply I couldn’t put into words just what a master he is. Not just a Surgeon, a sculptor that knows what you need. I had an upper Bleth in May, from consultation to post procedure he was outstanding. I love my results. A miracle worker who has given me back my confidence. Forever grateful.

Mio figlio ha avuto bisogno di un intervento di ginecomastia e, tra tutte le opzioni disponibili a Londra, abbiamo deciso di affidarci al Dott. Marcellino, che ci è sembrato fin da subito la scelta più affidabile. I risultati hanno superato persino le nostre più rosee aspettative e mio figlio non potrebbe essere più felice e ha finalmente ritrovato la serenità. Il Dott. Marcellino ha chiaramente dimostrato di avere straordinarie competenza, professionalità e grandissima esperienza, ed l’esito dell’operazione lo definirei assolutamente perfetto. Fin dalla prima telefonata e durante tutto il percorso, il Dott. Marcellino e la sua PA Giunko ci hanno seguito con incredibili gentilezza, disponibilità, professionalità e generosità. Prima, durante e dopo l'intervento sono stati sempre presenti e disponibili, pronti a rispondere a qualsiasi domanda e a offrirci supporto e rassicurazione. La guida, l'assistenza e il sostegno che ci hanno fornito sono stati preziosissimi, non solo per mio figlio ma anche per me e sua madre. Grazie a loro, un'esperienza potenzialmente difficile e stressante l’abbiamo vissuta con serenità e fiducia dall'inizio alla fine. Non potremmo essere più grati al Dott. Marcellino, a Giunko e a tutto il loro team. Li raccomandiamo senza alcuna esitazione a chiunque. La loro competenza, umanità e dedizione verso i pazienti sono davvero eccezionali.

My son needed gynecomastia surgery and, among all the options available in London, we decided that Dr Marcellino was the most reliable. The results even exceeded our more optimistic expectations, and my son could not be happier. Dr Marcellino has done an extraordinary job, which clearly testifies to his outstanding skills and very long experience. Also, Dr Marcellino and his PA Giunko dealt with everything with an incredible kindness, friendliness, professionalism and generosity, from the very first phone call and throughout the whole process, before, during and after the surgery, always available 24/7. The guidance, support and reassurance they provided was so helpful, both for my son and for myself and his mother. We could not be more grateful to them and very highly recommend Dr Marcellino and his team to everyone!

Where do I even begin? This review is long overdue. I had surgery with Dr Marcellino for a scar revision, uplift, and implants back in November. Following a previous breast reduction with another surgeon that unfortunately left me with severe keloid scarring. This completely destroyed my confidence for years, so choosing to go through surgery again was a huge decision for me. From my initial consultation a few months prior to surgery, right through to the operation itself and the aftercare, the entire process with Dr Marcellino and his team was nothing short of incredible. Everything was seamless, effortless, and reassuring with absolutely zero issues before or after surgery. The results have honestly changed my life. My scarring is now minimal to almost nonexistent, and I have never felt this confident in my body throughout my twenties. Dr Marcellino’s attention to detail is second to none. The lift looks so natural that you would never even know I have implants. He truly listened to my concerns and fully understood my vision for how I wanted them to look — and he exceeded every expectation. I cannot thank Dr Marcellino enough, along with his incredible team and nurses who work alongside him. If you are considering a cosmetic procedure anywhere in the UK, I genuinely believe this is the surgeon you should trust.
