Changes occur in the breast due to factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding and age. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts lose their shape, firmness and begin to sag. Breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also reduce the nipple diameter. If your breasts are small or have lost volume, as may happen after pregnancy, placing a breast prosthesis with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and size. Breast lift surgery changes greatly depending on the previous condition of the breast. Before deciding on this surgery, consider your expectations carefully and discuss them with your surgeon. The best candidates for mastopexy are healthy, mentally stable, realistic women who are aware of the improvement that surgery will provide. The best results are usually achieved in women with small, sagging breasts. Breast lift is not a simple surgery. But it is safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. However, in all surgeries, there is always the possibility of reactions or complications to anesthesia. Bleeding and infection are rare after mastopexy, but they can cause scars to widen. You can minimize the risks of complications that may arise by strictly following your doctor's instructions before and after the operation. Although scars can be covered with a bra and swimsuit, mastopexy can leave permanent scars that are visible to the naked eye. Incomplete healing and extensive scars may occur more commonly in smokers. Additionally, after the application, your nipples may be in a slightly different position with a slight loss of sensation. During the planning phase of the surgery, it is decided what the breast volume will be. If the breast volume is insufficient, silicone prostheses or fat implants can be used. It is possible to add volume to the breast and then lift it with injection. All patients and doctors have different opinions about what the desired breast size and shape is.
