Recovery & Aftercare (Managed by iMedara)

Patients typically remain in Colombia for 10–14 days after breast augmentation to allow for proper healing and follow-up care.

Early recovery focuses on rest, light walking to promote circulation, and wearing a supportive surgical bra as recommended. Strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and upper-body strain are avoided.

iMedara coordinates a complete aftercare experience, including:

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissues, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful height.

Over time, factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and gravity cause the breasts to lose elasticity and firmness. Mastopexy reverses these effects, restoring a naturally lifted, balanced, and rejuvenated shape without necessarily changing breast size (though it can be combined with augmentation or reduction if desired).

A breast reduction; also known as reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while reshaping them for improved balance, comfort, and symmetry.

It’s ideal for women experiencing back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or self-consciousness caused by overly large breasts.

During a mastopexy:

1. Precise incisions are made following one of several patterns—around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, or in an anchor shape depending on the degree of sagging and skin laxity.
2. The surgeon then removes excess skin, fat, reshapes the breast tissue, and elevates the nipple to a youthful position.
3. Repositions the nipple-areola complex to a naturally elevated position, preserving sensation and blood flow.
4. Redrapes the skin to create firmer, uplifted contours and closes with fine sutures for minimal scarring.

Reduction mammoplasty can be performed using various techniques, each tailored to the unique needs and goals of the patient. One of the most common methods is the following:

Anchor Incision Technique (also known as the T-Scar Technique)

The anchor incision technique, often referred to as the T-scar technique, involves making three incisions: one around the areola, a second vertically from the areola to the breast crease, and a third along the natural fold beneath the breast.

These incisions provide the surgeon with optimal access to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, allowing for a comprehensive reshaping of the breast to achieve a more proportionate and natural appearance. While this method does result in a scar shaped like an anchor, it is widely used due to its reliable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing results.

Vertical Incision Technique (also known as the L-Scar Technique)

The vertical incision technique, or L-scar technique, is designed to minimize scarring. It involves two incisions: one around the areola and another running vertically from the areola to the breast crease, without the horizontal incision along the fold beneath the breast.

This approach enables the surgeon to reduce breast size and reshape the tissue while leaving less noticeable scarring. Although it offers excellent results for many patients, the choice of technique depends on individual anatomy and surgical goals, and is carefully evaluated during the consultation with the plastic surgeon.

Periareolar Incision Technique (also known as the Scar Around the Areola Technique)

The periareolar incision technique, also referred to as the scar around the areola technique, involves making an incision along the edge of the areola. This placement allows the resulting scar to blend naturally with the surrounding skin.

While this method tends to produce less visible scarring, it is more limited in its ability to achieve significant breast reduction or complex reshaping. The suitability of this technique depends on the patient’s specific needs and goals, and is thoroughly assessed during the preoperative consultation with the plastic surgeon.
