Breast lift surgery is an operation to restore an aesthetic and healthy appearance to sagging breasts, which are devoid of muscle consisting of fat and milk glands, due to factors such as gravity, breastfeeding, frequent weight gain, birth, aging and incorrect bra use.
The fact that the breasts are located below where they should be is called ptosis in medical language. In the case of ptosis, the breasts become drooping or the skin becomes excessively loose. As a result, it causes women to be uneasy in terms of aesthetics.
We call mastopexy the process of moving the nipple and breast tissue to the required position without changing the breast volume.
Mastopexy Although it is an operation performed to completely eliminate aesthetic concerns, in some cases, scars similar to breast reduction surgery may remain. The main determining factor here is how low the nipple is from the normal level and how much the tissues in the lower part of the breast sag. If the nipple is 2-3 cm below where it should be and the ptosis in the lower part is moderate; It is possible to lift the breast with a method called 'periareolar mastopexy' and without leaving any scars on the breast. However, if there is obvious sagging in both the nipple and breast tissue; After the lift, a straight line trace down the nipple is inevitable. Mastopexy surgery is similar to breast reduction surgery in some ways.
HOW LONG DOES BREAST LIFT SURGERY TAKE?
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 2.5 hours. After the operation, a drain is placed to prevent blood accumulation in the breasts, which acts as a fuse. A special bra that shapes the breasts is put on when leaving the surgery. You can be discharged from the hospital on the same day or you will be hosted for one day. You can take a bath on the 3rd day after the operation and your dressing will be renewed on the same day. The stitches do not need to be removed as they dissolve on their own and are hidden. You should use the bra for 3-6 weeks. After a week, you can easily return to your daily life and to your work if you have a job that is not heavy.
