Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery is a surgical procedure that usually aims to correct sagging or deformed breast tissue. This surgery, called mastopexy in the medical literature , is usually preferred for aesthetic reasons. Breast lift surgery may be considered for the following situations:
- The Effects of Aging and Gravity: The aging process and gravity can cause breast tissue to sag and lose elasticity.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause changes in breast tissue. Breast lift surgery may be considered to correct sagging breast tissue after breastfeeding.
- Excessive Weight Loss: Excessive weight loss can cause a decrease in body fat and sagging breast tissue.
- Genetic Factors and Anomalies: Some individuals may experience sagging breast tissue due to genetic factors or congenital anatomical features.
Breast lift surgery can generally be performed using the following methods:
- Corrective Incisions (Mastopexy):
-
- In breast lift surgery, corrective incisions are made according to the areas where the breast tissue sags. These incisions can usually be made around the nipple, under the breast and/or vertically towards the chest wall.
- Tissue Placement and Suturing:
-
- To support and lift the breast tissue, the surgeon may use stitches or support materials to hold the breast tissue in place and correct its shape.
- Fat Transfer (Lipofilling):
-
- In some cases, during breast lift surgery, the patient’s own body fat may be taken and injected into sagging areas. This is used to add fullness and make the breast tissue look more youthful and shaped.
The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, but local anesthesia may also be used depending on the situation. The recovery process after surgery may vary depending on the person’s general health and the complexity of the surgical intervention.
After breast lift surgery, patients must follow specific instructions, pay attention to the surgeon’s recommendations, and be attentive to the healing process. This surgery is a surgical procedure designed to meet the individual’s satisfaction and aesthetic goals.
