Breast Lift Surgery

Information : Breast uplift surgery (Mastopexy) restores shape and volume that may have been lost due to age, weight loss, or nursing. With most breast lifts, the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position in order to create a natural look. If you want larger (as well as perkier) breasts, a breast lift with implants might be worth researching.

Breast Uplift Surgery

Asymmetric, sagging and low volume breasts are lifted by a breast uplift surgery and get a brand new look. If breasts do not have the ideal size, this operation is performed by combining breast augmentation surgery or breast reduction surgery. These procedures are performed successfully in many women every year, the desired outcomes are achieved accordingly and no negative problems are encountered.

Performed by plastic surgeons, the breast uplift surgery reshapes the sagging breast tissue; excess skin is removed, the nipple is placed at the top of the cone where it actually should be. Surgery is performed under operation theatre conditions under general anesthesia.The duration of surgery is roughly 1.5-2 hours. The dressing is thinned in a few days and a sports bra begins to be used. This supported bra is used for two months, and patients are advised to make massage in this period.Nipples are continuously monitored by separate dressing. Dissolvable sutures are used in surgery. Depending on the level of sagging, patients may return to work within 7-10 days after the surgery

When to Consider Breast Uplifting Surgery

• If you are experiencing sagging breasts due to the factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight gain and aging,
• If your doctor thinks that it is not possible to give the desired shape to the breasts with only using implants,
• If there is sagging in the breast tissue surrounding the nipple or on areola,

Then you are a good candidate for a breast uplift surgery.

How is Breast Uplift Surgery Performed?

Breast uplift surgery can be performed with different techniques. The techniques we use are briefly;

• The “Reverse T” shaped incision around the areola goes vertically from the nipple to the breast fold and continues horizontally along the fold. It is a technique that we use in patients with advanced breast sagging.
• A “lollipop” shaped incision continues vertically from areola to the lower breast fold; this is a technique used for uplift the breasts with middle-degree sagging.
• And the incision made only around the areola is especially suitable for patients with a low degree of sagging.

In the techniques mentioned above, first of all, the nipple is released from the surrounding tissues. Excessive tissue is removed from the surrounding tissue and the nipple is sutured back to its ideal position after the new shape of the breast is given.

Will There be Any Scar Mark after the Breast Uplift Surgery?

There is always a scar mark left after all the incisions made on the skin. We make these incisions in the areas underneath the underwear or to fit the natural curves of the body. In this way, the scar marks can be easily hidden and do not attract much attention in the periods after surgery.

All the incision marks in the breast will fade away in time. The size and clarity of the scar mark will vary depending on your skin type, operation and breast size.

Thanks to the special stitching techniques used during surgery, the incision marks are minimized.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

Immediately after the breast uplift surgery

After the breast uplift surgery, bandage is usually wrapped around your body and you will be wearing a corset.

You can start to feel a bit of pain when the effect of anesthesia passes. To get rid of such pains, do not neglect to use the prescribed pain killers regularly.

You might experience bruising, numbness, sensitivity of the nipple, scratching of the incision or hardening of the breast tissue. These side effects will pass within a few weeks. You don't have to worry.

Recovery process after breast uplift

It is very important that you follow all the postoperative instructions given to you. These will include information about the use of corset, the use of antibiotics and painkillers, and what exercises are appropriate for you.

First week

• On the first day after the operation, we recommend you to stand up and walk for short periods.
• After a few days, you will be able to move more comfortably.
• Avoid activities such as excessive bending, stretching or lifting weights.
• You may need to lie on your back for a while to not exert pressure on your chest.
• The drains will usually be removed the day after the surgery.
• You may feel pain and stiffness on your chest for several days. This is completely normal and temporary.

2-6 weeks

• You can return to work and your daily life without excessive activities about five days after your breast uplift surgery.
• Following the surgery, you should avoid excessive physical activity requiring power for at least the first two weeks. After this time, you need to protect your breasts for at least another month.
• You should avoid sexual intercourse for at least one or two weeks.
• During the first few weeks, you will need to use a bra to support breast tissue and continue to use the bra until the swelling of the breast disappears.
• It is usually not necessary to remove stitches because the invisible (aesthetic) stitches are used with dissolvable sutures.
• Even though it is rare, you might experience numbness of nipple and areola. This feeling is temporary; however, the duration of sensation varies depending on the individual. Therefore it will be wrong to speak about a definite time.
• Two weeks after your surgery you can start to walk, and four to six weeks you can perform sports activities without forcing your breast and arms too much

Are Results of Breast Uplift Surgery Permanent?

The results obtained during the breast uplift surgery are permanent for long years if there is no weight gain or loss or unless pregnancy occurs. Since these surgeries are usually performed in combination with breast reduction or breast augmentation, the results can be even longer.

How is Pregnancy and Breastfeeding like after Breast Uplift Surgery?

In patients undergoing breast uplift surgery, mostly the milk glands and the milk channels that protect the glands towards the nipple are protected. Especially for the patients in the period of fertility, it is important to maintain the breastfeeding potential and also to protect the sensory nerves that reach the nipple. With a number of technical procedures, the ability to provide milk and sensation can be maintained.
