Sagging breasts are a problem that most women experience, especially after childbirth and breastfeeding. While this problem sometimes starts structurally in the teenage years, it can also be seen as a result of rapid weight gain and loss, breasts that are too large and exposed to gravity too much. After breast lift surgery, these reasons should be eliminated and taken into consideration to prevent sagging from recurring. It is also important for the permanence of the breast lift procedure that the childbirth is complete and there is no weight to gain and lose!

Women who complain about sagging breasts usually try to fix this problem by using supportive bras and swimsuits. However, sometimes the looseness and emptying of the breast tissue is felt so intensely that it psychologically disturbs the person and causes loss of self-confidence. Regardless of the degree of sagging, the necessity of breast lift surgery can be decided by considering how much the person is bothered by the situation and whether they are suitable for surgery. However, as we said; those who are considering breast lift surgery should be those who do not plan to give birth after the surgery and who have lost excess weight, if any, in terms of the permanence of the surgery.

In breast lift surgery, different methods can be preferred depending on the person's structural condition. Sometimes just lifting the breast and removing excess skin is enough, while sometimes silicone prosthesis support may be required. In cases where sagging is not too severe, the desired lift can be achieved with just a silicone prosthesis.

Your doctor will determine the most appropriate method and material according to the tissue and structure of the breast. Sometimes, the use of silicone implants is not deemed necessary for breast lift and the lift can be achieved by tightening the person's own fat tissue and skin. If the fat tissue inside the breast has been significantly lost, or if the breast is already small and sagging, the use of silicone creates very successful results in breast lift.

The tissue of the breast, the location of the nipple, and the gland ratio in the breast are measured. Expectations and probabilities are evaluated in detail during the doctor-patient interview. It is very important for the patient to fully convey his/her expectations from the surgery to the doctor, as this will also determine the method of the surgery.

Breast lift surgery takes approximately two to four hours, depending on the extent of the surgery and the technique to be used. The operation is performed under general anesthesia.

Breast lift surgery involves the same processes as all other operations performed with general anesthesia. After the surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for a period determined by your doctor. A certain amount of swelling and edema in and around the operated area is an expected result. This swelling gradually disappears after a certain period of time. Taking a shower is not recommended for a few days. You can only take a shower after the period your doctor allows. The stitches are removed by the doctor after approximately fifteen days. It is also recommended to apply ice compresses after the surgery to reduce swelling and edema and speed up the healing process. The patient should use an athletic or medical bra for about a month. These bras both provide comfort to the patient and help the breasts reach the desired shape.

Since the incisions made during the surgery will be anatomically hidden under the folds of the body, the scar will be minimal. The medical creams recommended by your doctor will also provide support to help the scar disappear.

Since the need for breast lift is mostly due to increasing age, rapid weight gain and loss, and often childbirth and breastfeeding, it is important to perform breast lift surgery after all these parameters are eliminated in order to prevent sagging from recurring. After breast lift surgery, the person should keep their weight under control. Therefore, if there is a plan to give birth, the surgery should be postponed until after the childbirth and breastfeeding process.
