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.

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 had a breast augmentation with Dr Marcellino and my experience was outstanding. I had seen a few surgeons already by the time I met Dr Max and as soon as I had my consultation, I knew I had found the right surgeon. He has a very relaxed demeanour which immediately puts you at ease and he takes a lot of time to go through all the questions you might have. I'd done my research on his track record so knew I was in good hands. The operation went smoothly and I can't believe it has been 5 months already - I'm delighted with the results and only wish I had done it sooner!
I had a breast augmentation with Dr Max Marcellino and I am so happy with the results. I had been wanting a breast enlargement for years + I did a lot of research into the procedure and different surgeons in London and I wasn’t happy with any surgeon until I came across Dr Marcellino, who was recommended to me by a relative. Probably the best decision I ever made, having this surgery done by him as he is simply amazing! From the first appointment to my surgery and now in my recovery he and his team have been beyond excellent. I was very nervous about my surgery, I wasn’t too sure what to expect but the anaesthesiologists were amazing with keeping me calm as well as my Nurse ‘Esther’. Really made me feel comfortable and reassured me that everything will be okay and it did. Nearly a month into my recovery and I couldn’t be happier with my results, I am so glad that I chose Dr Marcellino because realistically I wouldn’t of had the surgery done if I didn’t find him.Thank you so much for making my confidence boost and making me feel beautiful :) I really recommend Dr Marcellino, and all the staff at The London Welbeck Hospital :)
I got a blepharoplasty done and I could not be more Happy with the results and healing process.

I would 100 recommend dr Marcellino and his plastic surgery staff. I had a breast reduction and breast lift and I am over the moon with the results that exceed my expectations. Thanks Massimiliano !
The most loveliest team! So much reassurance. I was SO nervous on the morning of my surgery, but they calmed me down to the point of me being asleep, then as soon as I came rounds they were SO lovely! They’re always on hand to help 24/7 with questions etc. Dr Marcellino’s work cannot get any better! So much of a confidence boost. So glad I chose him, and his team and I got it done! 🤍
I had an arm liposuction and breast augmentation with Dr. Marcellino exactly 20 days ago. From the first visit I was followed by him and on the day of the surgery we chose the size of the prosthesis that was best suited with my body. I was advised by Dr. Marcellino and I could not have made a better choice! The result of the breasts is wonderful, not to mention the finally thinner arms.The doctor is always available despite the distance that I live in Milan, he is always there for me.I can't wait to be able to wear low-cut dresses and bathing suit!
Cannot thank Dr Marcellino enough!! So SO happy with my results from my breast augmentation! Best decision I’ve ever made and you have all been amazing - from start to finish. The BEST!! Thank you xx
