Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping sagging breasts with loose tissue, restoring them to a youthful appearance.

During the procedure, breast tissue is lifted, and excess skin is removed. If the breast tissue is insufficient, this procedure can also be combined with implant placement.

Causes of Sagging

Breasts Sagging breasts can occur due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, gravity, rapid weight fluctuations, and breastfeeding.

The Surgery

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts for an average of 1-2 hours. The surgical plan is determined based on the degree of sagging. The surgical incision can be made only around the nipple-areolar complex, around the nipple-areolar complex and vertically down to the breast fold, or additionally horizontally at the breast fold. A drainage tube is inserted into the breast, and after the surgery, dressings are applied, and a special bra is worn.

Postoperative Phase

Most patients spend one night in the hospital following the surgery. Nutrition can resume quickly, and the drains are typically removed after 1-2 days. Antibiotics and pain relievers are prescribed. Dressings are opened 3-4 days after the operation, and only a special bra is worn. You can shower after these periods. Pain, swelling, and bruising in the breasts are possible but generally subside within 7-10 days. A week after the surgery, work can be resumed, but it is recommended to avoid heavy physical activities for 4-6 weeks.

Result

The results are typically permanent unless there is significant weight loss or pregnancy. If you continue to lose weight or plan a pregnancy, it is important to discuss this with your doctor. Breast lift does not increase the risk of breast cancer, and breast screenings can be regularly performed after the operation. The ability to breastfeed is not negatively affected by the procedure. This procedure has high satisfaction rates, increases self-confidence, and helps you become more active in social situations.
