Dr Mertens Notes on the Procedure

Indication for surgery: bilateral breast ptosis and volume deficiency following 20kg weight loss.

The planned procedure involved placing get silicone round breast prostheses in the subpectoral pockets and following this, a formal breast lift (mastopexy).

 

The surgery was done under general anaesthetic and was commenced by placing Sara-Marie on the operating table with her arms extended to the sides and secured. Her breasts were then infiltrated with a mixture of local anaesthetic, saline and adrenalin for analgesia and to reduce the bleeding.

Firstly, incisions were made in the fold beneath each breast and dissection was carried out underneath the pectoralis major muscle to create pockets for the implants. A trial implant sizer was used to estimate the suitable volume and following this, definitive implants were chosen.

Before insertion pockets were washed out with saline and Betadine disinfectant. All was checked to make sure there was no bleeding, the implants were placed and the wounds partially closed.

We sat Sara-Marie up on the operation table so that we could assess the degree of breast lift required. Staples were used to temporarily assess the breast position and how much skin needed to be removed and it became evident that the skin removal required a pattern of circular incisions around the areolas and then down to the base of each breast to remove excess skin in both vertical and horizontal directions. Once the amount of skin excess was determined this was marked using temporary ink and then Sara-Marie was laid flat on the operating table. The marked skin was then removed including a small amount of breast gland on the left side to correct her pre-existing asymmetry.

Following this, absorbable sutures were used to close all the wounds.

Sara-Marie was sat upright several times during the procedure to make sure that the breast position was correct and at completion all the wounds were taped and dressings placed around her chest.

I saw Sara-Marie the morning following surgery and she was well and comfortable. I removed the outer, bulky dressings and bandages and placed her in a support bra. She was then discharged home from hospital.
