Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery is a plastic surgery operation that allows women to regain their self-confidence and gives the breast fullness and an upright appearance.

Breast sagging and softness in the breast is an issue that women pay attention to. Aging, breastfeeding, weight gain and loss, wrong bra preference and even sagging of the breasts due to the effect of gravity is a situation encountered in many women.

Causes of Breast Sagging

Breast sagging occurs in all women at varying rates as the skin loses its elasticity and tension as a result of the slowing of cell renewal with age.

Apart from age-related factors, breast sagging may occur for different reasons.

The skin of the breasts, whose volume increases and decreases with weight gain and loss, can also become loose and cause sagging again.

Childbirth and breastfeeding can also lead to sagging breasts.

Sagging is common in women with larger breasts than normal.

Is Non-Surgical Breast Lift Possible?

Breast lifting exercises, breast augmentation creams, etc. suggestions are abundant on the internet. However, as mentioned above, the causes of breast sagging are the loss of breast tissue and the loss of elasticity and tension of the breast skin.

Although breast lifting and augmentation exercises exercise your arm and chest muscles, they do not provide lifting of the breasts that do not have a muscle structure.

For this reason, the mentioned exercises and other solutions such as creams, serums, etc. have no known positive effect on breast lift.

How Breast Lift Surgery is Performed

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Depending on the amount of sagging and the technique to be applied, the operation may take 1-4 hours.

Breast lift surgery can be performed with or without prosthesis. This is decided after a medical examination. During the examination, the location of the nipple, i.e. how much it has sagged and the amount of breast tissue, how much tissue loss is observed.

If there is mild sagging and sufficient breast tissue, silicone prosthesis under the mammary gland may be sufficient.

If the breast sagging is too much and the mammary gland is too much, the procedure performed is breast reduction surgery.  You can review our breast reduction page for this.

If the sagging is excessive and the breast tissue is insufficient, both breast sagging is recovered and breast prosthesis is performed.

In breast lift surgery, excess skin is removed while the skin is recovered. The amount of sagging also determines where the incision is made.

In mild sagging, excess skin is removed from the nipple and an incision is made so that the scar around the dark ring on the nipple is not too obvious.

In moderate sagging, an incision is made to remove excess skin from the nipple and lower part of the breast, leaving minimal scarring.

In advanced sagging, the possibility of scarring increases in the incisions to be made.

The Process After Breast Lift Surgery

After the operation, ice compress is applied and the patient is dressed in a sports bra. This will speed up the healing process as it will limit the movement in the breasts. The person is discharged after 1 night in hospital. On the 3rd and 5th day, the patient is called for control. Patients from abroad can return to their country after 5 days.

There is no need for dressing from the 15th day after the operation. The creams given continue to be used. We recommend a break from sports for about 4 weeks. In this process, walking can be done as a sport. In about 6 months, the breasts take their final shape and the desired result is achieved.

Breastfeeding After Breast Lift Surgery

Since no operation is performed on the milk glands in breast lift surgery, breastfeeding function is not harmed. The person can give birth and breastfeed in the future.

Does Sagging Occur Again After Breast Lift Surgery?

Although the results of breast lift surgery are permanent, the causes of breast sagging such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, frequent excessive weight gain and loss may cause sagging again. Especially if there is a plan to become pregnant in the near future, it is recommended to postpone breast lift surgery until after birth.

Risks of Breast Lift Surgery

There are generally known risks after the surgical procedure. Postoperative bleeding, blood accumulation in the tissue, delayed wound healing, scarring, infection and inflammation are some of the risks that may be encountered.

These risks are minimised in an operation performed by an experienced doctor in a sterile environment in a fully equipped operating theatre.
