Breast lift surgery is the name given to aesthetic interventions performed to eliminate the deformity of the breasts that create aesthetic concerns in the person due to their congenital structural shape or lose their form over time. Visually, having breasts close to their ideal form can increase self-confidence. Thanks to these procedures known as breast lift or breast lift operation, you can get breasts that are proportional to your body and you feel more comfortable.
Why is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
The chest area can be deformed due to age and many other factors. For this reason, breast augmentation is preferred. Breast lifting surgery can be applied to lift sagging breasts, usually due to too much weight loss. In women, the increased breast volume during pregnancy can cause sagging after childbirth. Breastfeeding can also lead to sagging breasts, which can cause discomfort in women because their breasts are not as fit as they used to be. Gravity can also cause sagging breasts in all women, whether they have given birth or not. Using the wrong bra can also cause sagging and asymmetry in the breasts. In addition to these, a breast lift operation may become necessary due to traumas such as accidents. If one breast is congenitally or gradually lower than the other, it may also require breast lift operations.
How is Breast Lift Operation Performed?
The breasts, which are an important part of the visual perception of our body, can sag and deform due to factors such as childbirth, breastfeeding and advancing age. However, you can have an upright breast structure with breast lift aesthetics. Detailed checks and examinations are performed before the breast lift operation, also known as mastopexy. Criteria such as the position of the nipple and the degree of sagging of the breast are determined. The process of the operation is then divided into two according to the patient’s body structure.
In patients with small breasts, breast lifting is performed by filling silicone under the breast. Thus, breast augmentation is performed by proportionally increasing the breast volume. In large breast lift operations, some of the tissue in the breast is removed. At the same time, if there is a condition such as asymmetry in the breasts, these are also equalized during the operation. Although there is usually a one-day recovery period for breast lift operations performed under general anesthesia, the hospitalization period can be extended if the doctor deems it appropriate. Self-disappearing stitches are used in breast lift operations and these aesthetic stitches disappear over time.
