Breast lift in Türkiye

A breast lift is a procedure in which the surgeon lifts and reshapes the breasts to give them a firmer, rounder appearance. The surgery also removes excess skin around the breast and reduces the size of the areola (the colored circle around the nipple).

Breasts lose their elasticity and firmness with age, and pregnancy, breast-feeding, and weight gain or loss can exacerbate this condition. The patient may wish to have this surgery starting from the breasts to treat sagging and drooping. It is sometimes possible to perform breast augmentation and breast lift operations together at the same time when the desire to increase the size of the breasts is also possible.

How is a breast lift operation performed?

Surgeons perform a breast lift using several different procedures. The method used by the doctor depends on the size and shape of the breasts and the amount of lift the patient needs.

The surgeon may ask you to stop taking certain medications before the procedure, such as blood-thinning aspirin . The patient is required to quit smoking four weeks prior to the procedure, due to the possibility that smoking interferes with the body’s ability to recover after surgery and can cause serious wound healing problems such as loss of nipple or breast skin.

What are the steps of a breast lift operation?

1. The surgeon makes marks on the breast in the standing position to locate the newly raised nipple
2. The patient gets general anesthesia. Where he is asleep during surgery.
3. The surgeon makes an incision (cut) around the “areola”. The wound usually extends down the front of the breast, from below the areola to the crease. It may also extend along the sides of the areola.
4. The surgeon lifts and reshapes the breasts. After that, the surgeon moves the areolas to the exact position according to the shape of the new breast, and may reduce their size as well.
5. The surgeon removes excess skin to give the breasts a firmer appearance.
6. The surgeon closes the incisions with sutures, skin adhesive, or surgical tape. Surgeons usually try to make incisions in parts of the breast where they are less visible.

The patient may decide to have a breast implant and a breast lift at the same time. Where the implant can increase the size or fullness of the breasts.

Sometimes some surgeons do not perform the two procedures at the same time for safety reasons.

If this is the case, then the patient undergoes a breast lift operation first, then implants the implant in the breast after about weeks to months. This is to prevent any nipple loss or necrosis.

Recovering from surgery

There may be swelling and tenderness in the breasts for a few weeks after surgery. The doctor gives medicine to relieve the pain. Ice can also be applied to the breasts to reduce swelling and pain. The patient needs to wear a surgical bra or a non-wired bra for two to three weeks after the surgery. In addition, one should sleep on the back, supported by pillows, to keep the chest elevated.

The pain, bruising, and swelling should go away after a few weeks. It may take anywhere from 2 to 12 months for the breasts to reach their final shape.

* After the operation, you should avoid lifting weights and strenuous exercises for two to four weeks after surgery.

What are the complications and risks of breast augmentation?

As with any surgery, a breast lift can have several risks, including:

1. Bleeding
2. infection.
3. A collection of blood or fluid in the breast, which the patient may need to drain.
4. Scars – some of them may be thick or tender.
5. Poor wound healing.
6. Loss of sensation in the breast or nipple, which may be temporary.
7. Asymmetrical shape of one or both breasts.
8. blood clots
9. The need for another operation.
10. Loss of some or all of the nipple and areola (very rare).

Be sure to discuss all potential risks with your surgeon prior to the procedure. After the procedure, you should contact your doctor immediately if you feel the following:

• The breasts are red and warm to the touch.
• Have a fever over 101 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Leakage of blood or other fluids through the incision.
• Chest pain or difficulty breathing.

surgery results

Breast lift procedure should give a more aesthetic and firm appearance to the breasts. There may remain some scars on the breasts, but they will disappear over time. Newer breast lift techniques reduce scarring. Major changes in weight should be avoided to maintain the new look.
