Breast Lift

Mastopexy surgery may not be suitable for everyone. If the patient’s breast sagging is moderate and he thinks that he will not be disturbed by the scars of the operation, it is beneficial to have this surgery. However, if there is a serious sagging, the surgical scar should be accepted. Patients will have an upright and shaped chest after the surgery. Being uncomfortable with the scars after the surgery is a personal problem. The important thing for breastfeeding after mastopexy surgery is that the milk ducts and milk glands have not been interfered with during the operation. In some surgeries, if the nipple is shifted and changed, there may be possibilities such as not being able to breastfeed. It is very beneficial to discuss this situation with the doctor before the procedure.

It is essential to be examined by a specialist doctor before breast lift surgery. In case of risky patients and women over 40 years of age, breast ultrasonography and mammography are fully evaluated and the decision is made accordingly. Patients who will undergo the operation should stop smoking long before the operation and should not use anti-inflammatory drugs. It would be more appropriate to decide the drug issue together with the doctor. General anesthesia is used for surgeries. Patients with advanced breast sagging can undergo procedures similar to breast reduction surgery. If there are small sagging, a silicone prosthesis can be placed under the breast. The duration of the operation varies between two and 4 hours. It is very important that you discuss all the details with your doctor before the surgery.

Ice compress treatment is started immediately after breast lift surgery. There are thin bands on the seams. Against the risk of bleeding and serum accumulation, the drains placed in breast lift surgery are removed two days later. You can take a shower after removing the drains. A sports bra is put on after the surgery to fit the shape of the chest. It is a very normal process to have swelling and edema after the surgery. After 8 or 10 weeks after the surgery, the breast can start to take its final shape. Lifting or pushing anything heavy after surgery will injure the chest. After the surgery, it is necessary to stay away from compelling sports. The type of bra recommended by the specialist should be used regularly. If the nipple milk gland ducts are not touched, the breastfeeding function will not be lost. It is necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least one week after the operation.

The complication rate after performing a breast lift operation is very low. However, infection may still develop within the breast. With careful patient follow-up, this process can be easily overcome. In addition, hematoma, which means blood accumulation in the breast, may develop after surgery. Providing the necessary controls by consulting the specialist physician after the operation helps to prevent complications that may occur. If you follow the recommendations of your doctor and be careful after the surgery, you can have fully healed and well-formed breasts after 8-10 weeks without any adverse events.

Since breast lift surgeries require a personalized planning, the cost of this surgery also varies according to the operation. The materials to be used during the operation and the size of the operation are proportional to the cost. The cost can be clarified according to the size of the operation by discussing with the specialist physician before the operation.

In order to prevent the occurrence of complications after the surgery, expert opinions should be followed. It is necessary to rest for two weeks after the operation. Arm use should be limited in the first week after surgery. Driving a car is also inconvenient. The arms need to be moved slowly. During this period, the breasts will be heavy and painful. Breast tenderness may develop after surgery. A numb or highly sensitive condition may arise. Nipples may become desensitized. Surgical scars, which are evident in the first months, later lose their clarity. Heavy exercises and sports should be avoided until the bandages are in their interests. Normal daily life movements and exercises should be discussed with the doctor before starting. After the surgery, the medications given by the doctor should be used and no extra supplements should be made.

New methods have been added in recent years. In particular, a new surgical technique called Vertical Mammoplasty has been preferred. In this technique, not an inverted T-shaped scar is created, but a vertical scar that goes down from the nipple. Vertical Mammoplasty is not a suitable technique for large and large breasts. Aesthetic anxiety may cause the individual to undergo unnecessary operations.
