Breast lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure performed to reshape and lift sagging or drooping breasts. Also known as mastopexy, this operation helps achieve a more youthful, lifted, and aesthetic breast appearance.
Breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure performed to correct breast sagging and achieve a more lifted position. Over time, breasts can sag due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or genetic factors. During mastopexy, excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple is repositioned higher.
This procedure does not increase or decrease breast volume; however, it can be combined with breast augmentation or reduction if desired.
Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours. The surgeon makes incisions around the nipple, along the breast crease, or in an inverted T-shape to remove excess skin and tissue. The nipple and areola are moved higher, and the breast tissue is reshaped.
Patients usually stay in the hospital for one day or overnight. There may be mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity in the first few days.
Breast lift surgery is suitable for women with sagging breasts who are in good general health and have realistic expectations.
It may be preferred in the following cases: 1. Breast sagging after aging, pregnancy, or breastfeeding 2. Loss of breast shape after weight loss 3. Nipples below the breast crease 4. Desire for a more youthful and aesthetic breast appearance
The main advantages of breast lift include:
1. More lifted and youthful-looking breasts 2. Ideal positioning of nipples and areolas 3. Better fitting clothes 4. Increased confidence and satisfaction
Breast lift is performed to reshape sagging and drooping breasts. It is preferred due to aesthetic concerns, changes after childbirth and breastfeeding, aging, or breast deformations after weight loss.
Pre-surgery preparation is important for the success of the procedure and recovery process.
1. Have a detailed consultation with the surgeon 2. Stop blood thinners and some herbal supplements 3. If smoking, quit before and after surgery 4. Wear comfortable clothes on the day of surgery 5. Get information about post-surgery care and recovery process
These preparation steps increase the success of the surgery and help the patient have a more comfortable recovery process.
