Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery?

It can be performed on any woman over the age of 18 who has sagging breasts and excess skin, unless there's a medical need. The most important point here is that if you plan to have children in the future, you should definitely share this information with your doctor, as future pregnancies will affect the results of breast lift surgery. Frequent weight gain and loss, as well as having large breasts, can cause breasts to sag earlier than expected. Breast lift surgery is generally suitable for the following situations:

• If there is looseness in your skin and nipple,
• If your nipples and areola are pointing downwards,
• If the person is physically healthy and your weight loss has stopped after gastric sleeve surgery,
• If your breasts are not supported by a bra and the breast tissue falls below the breast fold area,
• If you think your breasts are sagging and losing volume,
• Factors such as frequent weight gain and loss and having large breasts cause breasts to sag earlier than they should.
• If a person is not satisfied with the current appearance or size of their breasts,
• If she has flatter breasts and a longer figure than expected,
• If one of your breasts looks lower and sagging than the other, you can have a breast lift surgery.

Before Breast Lift Surgery

Before breast lift surgery, your plastic surgeon will evaluate your breast structure with a breast ultrasound and mammogram. If you are taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, you should stop them 7 days before surgery. Smoking should be stopped 3 days before surgery and for 3 weeks afterward. Eating and drinking should be avoided for 6 hours before surgery.

How is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?

Breast lift surgery is performed by considering several factors, including the desired breast size and shape, firmness, the location of the areola, and the elasticity of the skin. All of these factors will be discussed with you before the breast lift surgery, and a consensus will be reached. This surgery, performed under general anesthesia, typically takes approximately two to four hours.

Breast lift surgery is performed in two ways. One involves placing silicone implants under the breast for individuals with small breasts. The other is performed for individuals with large breasts. This involves removing excess breast tissue to give the breasts a lifted appearance.

The goal here is to remove the excess skin causing the sagging and lift the breast tissue upward. If the degree of sagging is mild, the surgery typically involves lifting only the nipple. A circular incision is made around the nipple to complete the procedure. The underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to increase breast firmness. The procedure is completed by returning the nipple to its natural height.

After Breast Lift Surgery

• After breast lift surgery, the person can eat and stand up after 3 hours.
• The person should not lie on their chest for the first month after surgery.
• Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you can generally shower on the second day after surgery.
• After surgery, your return to daily life usually takes 5 to 7 days. After this time, the patient can return to work and travel.
• It may take approximately 3 months for your breasts to regain their general shape after surgery.
• After surgery, the person should be careful not to exercise or lift heavy objects for 4 weeks.
• There is no restriction on you from doing strenuous sports after 3 months following breast lift surgery.

At what age can breast lift surgery be performed?

Women who have completed breast development can undergo breast lift surgery starting at age 18.  Breast lift surgery  is not recommended for those planning to have children, as post-operative deformities can occur.

Will there be any scars after breast lift surgery?

Although some scarring may remain after surgery, it is minimal and unnoticeable unless handled with care. This scarring is not bothersome.

Will there be loss of sensation after breast lift surgery?

Post-operative loss of sensation is temporary. After a certain period of time, the breast and nipple may regain their previous sensitivity.

The technique used in breast lift surgery and the surgeon's experience are crucial. This will help minimize potential risks and loss of sensation.

Is a non-surgical breast lift possible?

A non-surgical breast lift is not possible. Creams and massage treatments, known as breast lift methods, have no effect on breast lift. Furthermore, exercise alone does not cause breast lift.

The only treatment for loose and sagging breasts is surgery. A breast lift is a surgical procedure.

How soon after giving birth can I have breast lift surgery?

Your ability to undergo breast lift surgery depends entirely on your breastfeeding status, rather than the birth itself. The best time to schedule surgery is after you've breastfed your baby for a reasonable period of time and 6-7 months after breastfeeding has completely ceased. The most important point to consider before surgery is to ensure that your milk ducts are free of milk on a pre-operative ultrasound.
