Breast Lift Surgery
Breast Lift Surgery: Who is it Suitable for and How Does the Process Work?
The most effective and permanent solution that comes to mind when it comes to breast lift methods is breast lift surgery. This procedure, which is performed without harming general health, is performed by experienced plastic surgeons. The plastic surgeon creates the most appropriate surgical plan by evaluating the patient’s expectations and the condition of the existing breast tissue. Breast lift surgery is especially suitable for individuals who have sagging breasts due to reasons such as childbirth, breastfeeding, aging and excessive weight loss.
How is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
Although breast lift surgery is individualized according to the needs of the patient, the general process consists of certain steps:
Preliminary Interview
The preliminary interview with the plastic surgeon is very important before breast lift surgery. At this stage, the patient conveys her expectations and the surgeon evaluates the patient’s medical history, health status and breast structure. In the light of the information obtained in the preliminary interview, it is determined whether the patient is a suitable candidate for a breast lift. In addition, the surgeon plans the technical details necessary for the patient to achieve the desired breast form.
Physical Examination
Physical examination is a critical step in the breast lift surgery process. At this stage, the doctor evaluates the elasticity of the breast tissue, the position of the nipple and skin quality. The findings of the examination play a decisive role in planning the technique and incision sites to be applied.
Imaging Methods
If necessary, imaging methods such as mammography or ultrasound are used to determine whether there is a mass, cyst or other abnormality in the breast tissue. This step is important to ensure that the surgery is performed safely.
Operation Planning
At this stage, it is clarified which techniques will be used in breast lift surgery, incision locations and whether silicone prosthesis will be added if necessary. In some cases, breast implants may also be preferred if there is a slight volume loss with breast lift.
Operation
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. An incision can be made in and around the nipple, in the inframammary line or in a vertical line. Depending on the technique used, the nipple is moved up and the breast is reshaped by removing excess skin. If an implant is required, the implant is placed at this stage. At the end of the surgery, the incisions are closed with aesthetic sutures.
Control Process
After the operation, the patient is fitted with a special bra or bandage. During the healing process, the condition of the sutures, the shape of the breast tissue and possible complications are monitored with regular checks.
What are Breast Lift Methods?
When it comes to breast lift, several surgical techniques come to mind. These include “incision only around the nipple”, “lollipop-type incision” (vertical incision from the nipple to the lower breast) or “inverted T incision” (incision extending to the lower breast line). Which technique is used depends on the degree of sagging and the breast structure.
Is Breast Lift Surgery Difficult?
Breast lift surgery is a very safe procedure when performed by an expert surgeon. However, the healing process may vary depending on the patient’s attention. If the doctor’s recommendations are not followed, the healing process may become difficult.
What to Do Before Breast Lift Surgery
No Smoking: Smoking should be stopped before surgery because smoking makes wound healing difficult.
Stopping Blood Thinners: Blood thinners such as aspirin should be stopped before surgery.
Stopping Drugs that Disrupt Hormone Balance: Hormone-containing drugs such as birth control pills should also be stopped before surgery.
Staying Hungry and Thirsty: It is necessary not to eat for 8 hours and not to drink water for 4 hours before the surgery.
What Should Be Considered After Breast Lift Surgery?
Medication Use: Painkillers and antibiotics recommended by the surgeon should be used regularly.
Physical Movement Restriction: Heavy lifting and excessive strain on the arms should be avoided.
Sleep Position: Sleeping on the back is recommended for the first few weeks.
Massage: If a prosthesis has been implanted, light massages can be done on doctor’s recommendation.
Corset and Bra Use: A special support bra should be used.
Does Breast Lift Surgery Prevent Breastfeeding?
When breast lift surgery is performed without damaging the milk ducts, it usually does not interfere with breastfeeding. However, if there is severe sagging and intervention is required, the milk ducts may be affected. This situation should be evaluated in detail in the preliminary interview with the patient.
How Much Are Breast Lift Surgery Prices?
Breast lift surgery prices vary depending on the experience of the surgeon, the scope of the surgery, the materials used and the facilities of the hospital where the procedure will be performed. You can contact us to get a precise price information and get consultancy from our expert surgeons.
