The breast lift surgery may be applied to women who have sagging breast or breast volume shrinking due to giving breast milk after birth or structurally pendulous breasts The nipple hangs down. In some patients the amount of shrinkage of the breast tissue, due to weight reduction, can also produce the same result.
The aim of the breast lift surgery is to back to the old forms of breasts. If the dark area surrounding the nipple (areola) is very wide, this can be narrowed by this surgery. In addition, if there is a loss of volume in the mammary gland after pregnancy, or if volume is desired with the same operation, this process is a winning combination to lift the breasts and get silicone breast implants; the surgery provides a lift as well as growth.
Sagging of the breast may be classified in various ways. Sagging is expressed in the presence of the head of the breasts, equal to the line or below the line of the breast. If the breast sagging is at or near the breast line it is called level 1: mild sagging. In this case, the tissue around the areola will be removed and the lift is performed. If the nipple is 1-2 cm below the breast line it is called level 2: moderate sagging. In this case there will be more skin removed, an incision around the areola and and a vertical scar descending the breast (vertical scar was mammoplasty). Sometimes the scar can be planned as a “Little T”. If the nipple is more then 3 cm below the breast line it is called level 3. In this case the reverse T-shaped scar mastopexy is applied. This operation will remain a horizontal scar under the breast.
At breast lift incisions stitching scar traces will occur in the operative result. In the first months the scars will be more significant and reddish, within months it will soften, become whiter and less visible. However, these scars will not bother the patient because it is within the bikini and bra lines.
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and take about 2 – 3 hours. A dressing is applied and the stitches don’t need to be removed because they are melting stitches. A bra corset is worn for 3 weeks after surgery. It is allowed to take a bath 2 days after surgery.
Patients can return to work within 3-4 days. It is recommended to stay away from heavy sports for 1 month. The breast lift surgery generally gives good and lasting results. It is correcting a person’s mental health that makes them more connected to life. New shaped breasts are able to withstand long periods but for reasons such as weight changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding and gravity can result in breast sizes changes over time.
