Overview

Breast lift is an operation that is performed to make sagging breasts look more upright. The time for the breasts to lose their old appearance varies from person to person. Sagging occurs at a younger age in people with large breasts. In addition, using the wrong bra can cause your breasts to sag earlier.

Under normal conditions, the nipple should be located above the breast fold, while in saggy breasts, the nipple is at the level of the breast fold. If this condition is more advanced, the nipple is located below the breast fold. Breast lift surgery is a type of surgery performed in cases such as loss of breast fullness or saggy appearance of the breast due to physical and environmental factors.

Who is Breast Lift Operation Suitable for?

As with other aesthetic operations, breast lift surgery can be performed on all women over the age of 18 unless medically necessary. In addition to pregnancy and breastfeeding, improper bra use can also cause your breasts to look less upright over time. Factors such as frequent weight gain and loss and large breasts can cause your breasts to sag much faster than they should. Breast lift can be performed for women who are physically and mentally healthy. If you are not satisfied with your current breast structure and want your breasts to have a more upright appearance, this operation will make your breasts look more upright. However, do not forget that breast implants leave scars. For this reason, it is recommended that people who find these scars uncomfortable should reconsider before lifting their breasts.

How is Breast Lift Operation Performed?

If the breast structure is small, silicone is placed under the skin, if the breast structure is larger, the breast is lifted by removing excess breast tissue. This operation can also eliminate the asymmetrical appearance between the breasts. The screening process begins when the person who wants to have a breast lift operation contacts her doctor. This test checks the position of the patient’s breast tissue and nipples. The degree of deviation is determined. The person is told what needs to be done during the operation.
Then you will be asked what kind of appearance you want to achieve. At this point, it is important to communicate your wishes to your doctor. For safety, the doctor will simulate how the breast will look after surgery. This will help the person to make a decision. In this process, some tests will also be requested from the person. These tests investigate the presence of conditions that prevent the patient from undergoing surgery.

Process After Breast Lift Operation

In order for the process to be completed smoothly after breast lift procedures, some points should be taken into consideration. It is possible to eat approximately 3 hours after the operation. Unless otherwise instructed by your doctor, you can take a shower from the second day after the operation. On the third day, the patient is called back to the hospital for dressing and general examination. Depending on the condition of the person, the person can return to normal life after this date.

It is recommended to avoid sports activities for the first 3 weeks. During this time, you should wear a sports bra that covers your breasts. From the 3rd week, you will be able to do sports that do not require arm or chest movement. It takes approximately three months for the breasts to take their final shape. You will need to be called back to the hospital for a check-up 3 and 6 months after the operation and the breast tissue will be examined again 1 year after the procedure with ultrasound.

Are There Any Scars After Breast Lift Operation?

It is also important for people who want this operation to be performed whether there will be any scars after the breast lift. A number of stages during breast lift procedures cause various scars on the skin. In breast lift surgery performed with up-to-date techniques and effective materials, a small amount of scars remain, but the scars are not visible without careful examination. In darker skinned people, these scars may be less visible scars. However, people with sensitive skin are advised to have a thorough discussion with their doctor before surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I opt for breast lift surgery?

If you have sagging breasts due to reasons such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, sudden weight change and aging, if you have sagging in your nipple or the tissue surrounding the nipple and your doctor thinks that it will not be possible to give the desired shape to the breast using only prosthesis, you can choose breast lift operation.

How is breast lift surgery performed?

Breast lift surgery can be performed with many different techniques. In our first technique, an “Inverted T” shaped incision is made around the nipple. This incision descends vertically from the nipple to the breast fold and continues horizontally along the fold. This technique is generally used in patients with advanced breast sagging. In our second technique, “Lollipop” incision is made and the incision continues vertically from the nipple circumference to the lower breast fold. This technique is generally used to lift breasts with moderate sagging. For patients with a small degree of sagging, an incision is made only around the nipple. In all techniques, the tissues around the nipple are first released. Then, the excess tissue in the surrounding breast tissue is removed and the breast is given its new shape. After shaping, the nipple can be sewn to its ideal place.
