Breast Reduction Breast Lifting

Mastopexy or breast lift surgery, also known as breast lifting surgery, is one of the aesthetic operations that many women apply especially after middle age. You can look at yourself in the mirror to start thinking about breast lifting surgery. If your nipples are located below the breast fold line or they have descended to that level it means that your have sagging breasts. In fact, if you notice that they are below this line, it means you have advanced breast sagging and in this case, you may need breast lifting surgery.

What causes breasts to sag?

Actually the sagging of breasts may arise from multiple causes. Especially due to aging, a certain amount of breast tissue decreases over time. Subsequently the breasts start losing volume and sag. This can sometimes also be caused by postnatal breastfeeding. The breasts of breastfeeding mothers can also sag over time. And there is no arguing that breasts start to sag as a result of gravity. Sometimes this can vary completely from person to person. Some women can have inherently weak breast ligaments.

Breast Reduction and Lifting Surgery

Breast reduction breast lifting surgery is an operation with very good results thanks to developing medical technologies. It is possible to reshape the breasts completely, eliminate sagging and enlarge and reduce breasts with a single procedure. However, some traces may remain in the breasts. However, with the help of new techniques developed, the problem of  scars underneath the breasts can be eliminated. In this way, excess breast tissue can be removed and the breast can be reduced and sagging can be eliminated with lifting surgery.

Who can have this procedure?

Breast reduction breast lift operations are among the most popular aesthetic operations commissioned by many women around the world. However, the operation is not suitable for everyone. It might be better not to have this operation if there is moderate sagging and if you think you will feel uncomfortable with the scars that will occur after the operation. However, if you have severely flabby breasts, you might be more bothered with your  appearance than scars and therefore you can make the decision more easily. In short, patients should make the decision about surgery by comparing the annoyance associated with scars and the annoyance associated with sagging. However, a general observation and research has shown that many patients do not worry about these scars and decide that it is more important to get rid of saggy breasts.

Preoperative and postoperative conditions

Breast reduction breast lift operations are defined as a moderate surgical procedure in terms of difficulty and size. The procedure is painless and most of the patients can be discharged on the same day. It is possible that the patients who can return to their daily work within 3-4 after being discharge can experience some discomfort on the first night after the procedure. However, this discomfort can usually be alleviated with regular and simple orally taken painkillers. If you have positive thoughts about breast reduction breast lifting procedures in which severe bruising and swelling are not anticipated but you are employed, you can take a week of sick leave or time off and undergo the procedure.

As is the case with all surgeries and procedures, the risk of hemorrhaging and infection exists as the main problem following breast reduction breast lifting procedures.
Actually the expectation and likelihood of serious hemorrhaging in such operations is virtually non-existent. However, bleeding may occur in the form of blood accumulation on one side of the breast. Therefore, if you have decided to have the procedure make sure you choose a venue that maintains hygiene and is professional.
