LIGHTER & HIGHER BREAST
Breast size can increase after/duringpregnancy or after menopause, or it can be genetically large, which can be a problem for many women. Large and droopy breasts can reduce self-confidence, but also create issues relating to shoulder/neck pain, as well a skin laxity and stretch marks. Discove the most advance methd for breast reduction-lift surgery utilizing the principle of Auto-augmentation. Dr. Ektor is considered an one of the best plastic surgeons in Greece specializing in breast surgery. Through many years of experience Dr. Ektor has perfected his approach to breast lift surgery, by combining precise 3D preoperative design with the use of advance techniques and cutting-edge materials, such as the biological mesh as internal bra support. The knowledge and expertise of Dr. Ektor in breast surgery, the systematic and detailed approach he follows, as well as his human-centered nature exude confidence and self-confidence in every patient.

THE PROCEDURE
Breast Reduction Lift Surgery is usually done under general anesthesia and lasts an average of 3-4 hours. A periareolar and a vertical incision is made for skin gathering. However, Dr. Ektor is able to perform an excellent breast reduction-lift, without the need for an elongated anchor scar, by using only the lollipop incision, even in very large breasts with ptosis grade 3 and 4, therefore minimizing post-operative scarring and avoiding future ptosis, due to destabilization of the inframmary fold usually seen in anchor-based techniques. The tissue removed from each breast is carefully weighed and compared with the other side, in order to achieve a symmetrical outcome. Since the surgical procedure is performed in the hands of Dr. Ektor completely atraumatically, no drains (tubes) are used, which significantly reduces the risk of postoperative infection, and pain. Usually, there is no overnight stay in the hospital, and the patient returns to daily activities immediately. The sutures used are self-absorbable and thus do not need to be removed. A special bra is recommended for 6 weeks and abstinence from sport activities for 4 weeks. Patients are advised to refrain from driving for 10 days after the procedure
BREAST-REDUCTION LIFT
AUTO-AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUE
In cases where there is breast ptosis and the patient desires a lift along with an improvement in breast volume and upper pole fulness, it is possible to achieve an excellent result through the Breast Lift Auto-Augmentation approach. In this procedure, which is an advanced form of mastopexy surgery, the lower pole of the breast is surgically separated in a precise manner from the rest of the breast gland, while at the same time maintaining its individual blood supply (pedicled flap). Excess heavy breast tissue, usually at the lateral pole, is excised and removed. Then, this central lower-pole breast tissue is advanced upwards and secured under a special belt created out of the pectoralis major muscle, thus ensuring long-lasting support. This procedure is ideal for patients who have breast ptosis and adequate volume in the lower breast pole, but don't want to undergo a classic breast lift augmentation procedure with implants. The results are truly wonderful, and very often cannot be distinguished from breast lift augmentation with silicone implants. Moreover, Dr. Ektor is able to achieve this without the need for an elongated anchor scar, by using only the lollipop incision, therefore minimizing post-operative scarring and avoiding future ptosis, due to destabilization of the inframammary fold. In patients with significant breast ptosis who wish to maintain most of or the full volume of their breast, but lift the breast higher, an internal bra (galaflex mesh) is recommended, which stimulates new collagen production in the lower pole, thus making it stronger in the future.
CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
Breast Lift can also be achieved without the use of silicone implants, with fat transfer when this available. Fat is usually removed from the abdomen or thighs and prepared through a special technique (centrifugation), before being transplanted into the breast. The fat can be combined with regenerative growth factors from the patient's own blood (HYPPP-Fill technique), which significantly improves the survival of fat cells, contributing to a better result. Also, the removal of fat through the Ultrasound-Liposuction technique (VASER / PROMELTER Cold-Lipoemulsion) guarantees that the adipose tissue removed is vital and rich in stem cells, so it is ideal for lipotransfer and for increasing the desired breast volume, without the need for silicone implants. This technique cna provide natural-looking results with a fuller upper pole and intense breast cleavage if this is desired.
INTERNAL BRA SUPPORT
In specific cases, when a significant breast ptosis (droopiness) is observed, the biological Galaflex mesh can be used, which further strengthens the structure of the lower pole, through bio-resorption and the production of collagen, thus supporting the implant as an internal Bra. The internal bra support can be used both in primary and revision breast cases, as well as in breast-lift procedures with or without silicone implants. In breast reduction cases it is very useful when the patient wishes to have the heavy excess tissue removed from the lateral pole, but at the same time wants to maintain a full projection in the upper pole, therefore additional support in the inframammary fold is waranted.
SPECIALIZATION
Dr. Ektor is a true innovator when it comes to breast surgery, specializing in breast augmentation, breast lift surgery, breast reduction and revision cases. He was the first doctor in Greece to ever introduce detailed pre-operative 3D planning for breast surgery, as well as the utilization of ergonomic nano-implants for breast augmentation. Dr. Ektor has over 20 years of experience in breast cosmetic surgery and is one of the leaders in the field nationwide. He has also worked with other world-renowned surgeons in Germany, Sweden and in the USA, exchanging knowledge and further improving his skills, making him a real master of breast surgery.
CUSTOM DESIGN WITH 3D SIMULATION
Dr. Ektor is a big believer in the fact that best post-operative results can only be achieved through careful and detailed pre-operative planning. This is why he always uses the most advanced tools that allow him to plan and discuss with his patients each individual outcome. The use of 3D Simulation (Crisalix 3D) allows the doctor to predict important aspects that require clarification before a breast or body contouring procedure, while the patient feels reassured that the result will perfectly fulfil his/her expectations.
