What is breast lift surgery? Breast lift surgery is an aesthetic surgical method used to restore sagging and deformed breasts to their former shape while keeping the breast size constant. The primary goal in breast lift surgery is to tighten the sagging skin. In breast lift surgery, silicone implants can also be placed in the breasts to make them larger.
How long does breast lift surgery take? Breast lift surgery typically takes between 1-3 hours.
What results can I expect? Breast lift surgery elevates the position of the breast and nipple. After this surgery, it is possible to achieve breasts that look younger and have an aesthetic appearance.
Am I a good candidate for breast lift surgery? Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery are individuals who are physically and mentally healthy and have sagging breasts. The reasons for breast sagging include:
• Pregnancy / breastfeeding
• Weight loss
• Aging
Factors such as a decrease in breast volume and sagging due to loss of skin elasticity can lead to breast shape deformities. Breast lift surgery can correct these shape deformities caused by these negative factors.
What are the risks and side effects of breast lift surgery? After breast lift surgery, complications and side effects that can occur after any surgical operation include infection, prominent scarring, irregular breast, and breast asymmetry. The risks and side effects that may occur due to breast lift surgery are as follows: • Infection
• Bleeding
• Permanent and noticeable scars
• Breast asymmetry
• Temporary or permanent loss of breast sensation.
Scarring can vary from person to person but can fade over time. Depending on the size of the breast in breast lift surgery, scars may remain only around the nipple or in the shape of the letter J or inverted T. To minimize the chance of any adverse reactions, it is advisable to have breast lift surgery performed by a specialized aesthetic plastic surgeon.
What is the recovery time? When can I return to work and strenuous activities? In the first few days, there may be some pain, but this discomfort can easily be controlled with simple pain relievers. By the end of the first week, you can return to work. Approximately two weeks after the surgery, you can return to work (if it involves heavy lifting). Numbness and bruising may persist for a few weeks.
What are the long-term results? How long do the results last? The results of breast lift surgery are permanent; however, the natural aging process, pregnancy/breastfeeding, and weight loss can cause the breasts to sag again.
