With breast lift surgery, known as breast lift surgery, sagging, loose breasts can be corrected by giving the deformed breasts a fresher, more upright appearance.

Why do breasts sag?

All women want their breasts to be firm and firm. However, gravity, pregnancy and breastfeeding are the biggest enemies of breasts. Sagging, softness and deformation of the breasts are among the most sensitive issues for women. Breasts, which are composed entirely of fat and milk glands without any muscle in their structure, may lose their former firm and upright appearance over time due to gravity, aging, frequent weight gain and loss, childbirth, breastfeeding, improper bra use, and may become hollow or the skin may become excessively loose, causing sagging. Loose, saggy, deflated breasts negatively affect breast aesthetics, cast a shadow on the beauty of the woman, and this situation may turn into a complex and become a personality issue. There are also bras that make the breasts look more lifted and fuller. By using such bras or by wearing appropriate clothes, the problem inside may not be reflected on the outside. However, it does not solve the existing problem, it only serves to mask it. However, it is not possible to mask the breasts when wearing an open evening dress or bikini or in the bedroom.

Pregnancy and the effects of rapid weight gain and loss

Pregnancy is a natural part of a woman's life and an inevitable event for the continuation of the human race. In the first months of pregnancy, the breasts grow due to hormonal changes and preparation for milk production begins. After the birth, the breasts are constantly filled and emptied by milk production during the breastfeeding period. When breastfeeding ends, it resembles a deflated balloon. The skin surrounding the breast cannot adapt to the shrinkage, and when the skin remains abundant, the breast succumbs to the effect of gravity and begins to sag. From time to time, excessive weight gain and loss, not related to pregnancy, also causes sagging breasts. This situation, which is the fate of most women, ultimately causes women to be aesthetically uncomfortable and pushes them to search for solutions. With breast lift or breast recovery surgery, it is possible to give a younger and fresh appearance to breasts that have lost their uprightness and vitality.

What are the results of breast lift surgery?

Breast lift surgery is a breast reshaping surgery, the size of the breast does not change with this surgery. Sagging, loose tissues are suspended upwards, the nipple is moved to the position it should be in an upright breast, excess skin is removed to create a more taut surface. If the breast looks small at the same time as sagging and loosening, breast augmentation can also be performed by placing silicone during breast lift. If only breast lift surgery is performed without silicone implantation, the breast is lifted, but its size does not change, it remains the same size.

Breast lift techniques

There are different techniques for breast lift surgery. Which technique should be applied is decided by looking at the size of the breasts and the degree of sagging. Not every technique is suitable for everyone. In people with adequate breast size and mild sagging, it is sufficient to make a recovery around the nipple. In more sagging breasts, it is insufficient to recover the sagging, in this case, the tissues in the lower part of the breast should be moved up. Depending on the technique to be applied, the way the excess skin is removed also changes. For example, when the recovery procedure is performed around the nipple, the excess skin is removed around the nipple, in this case, a circular surgical scar remains around the nipple. When the tissues in the lower part are moved up during breast lift and excess skin is removed from there, in addition to the scar around the nipple, there is another surgical scar extending vertically towards the lower edge. Regardless of the technique of breast lift surgery, since excess skin must be removed, there will definitely be a surgical scar where the skin is removed. The surgical scars, which become fainter over the months, do not overshadow the new shape your breast will take. Since the milk glands are not touched during breast lift surgery, this surgery does not prevent breastfeeding or breastfeeding.
