What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola to create a more youthful and uplifted breast appearance. A breast lift does not significantly change the size of the breasts but can be combined with breast augmentation or reduction if desired.
Types of Breast Lift:
1. Crescent Lift: This technique involves making a small incision around the upper half of the areola. It is suitable for patients with mild sagging and minimal excess skin.
2. Peri-Areolar or Donut Lift: With this approach, an incision is made around the entire circumference of the areola. It is suitable for patients with moderate sagging and a moderate amount of excess skin.
3. Vertical or Lollipop Lift: This technique involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease. It is suitable for patients with moderate to severe sagging and a significant amount of excess skin.
4. Anchor or Inverted-T Lift: This method is reserved for patients with severe sagging and involves an incision around the areola, a vertical incision, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. It provides the most extensive lift and is suitable for cases requiring significant reshaping.
Before the Operation:
Before undergoing a breast lift, patients will have an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the patient’s breast shape, skin elasticity, and nipple position. They will discuss the patient’s goals, explain the procedure, and address any concerns. Pre-operative instructions will be provided, including guidelines on medications, smoking cessation, and lifestyle modifications.
During the Operation:
A breast lift is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make the necessary incisions according to the chosen technique and remove excess skin. They will reshape the breast tissue, reposition the nipple and areola, and close the incisions with sutures. The procedure usually takes a few hours, and patients are closely monitored throughout.
After the Operation:
After a breast lift, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage any post-operative discomfort. Patients are advised to wear a supportive bra to minimize swelling and promote proper healing. It is important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions, including restrictions on physical activities, avoiding lifting heavy objects, and attending follow-up appointments for evaluation and wound care.
A breast lift in Turkey offers women the opportunity to restore youthful contours and achieve aesthetically pleasing breasts.
