A breast lift procedure also referred to by its medical term mastopexy is a type of plastic surgical technique for correcting breast ptosis. It is a surgical technique whereby the nipple is positioned at or below the inframammary fold.

Plastic surgery breast lift in Turkey  is one of the most common types of aesthetic surgical interventions performed on a regular basis at Yaman Surgical Medical Center. In a surgical point of view, mastopexy mammoplasty is based on identical basic principles observed in breast reduction techniques with regard to tissue molding and skin management.

In this process, surgeons remove redundant skin that contributes to breast ptosis or sagging. Depending on the level of ptosis, surgeons may also excise additional breast tissue. The overriding goal of this surgical correction is to reposition the breast and-shaped its tissue to create a more youthful contour.

Why is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?

A mastopexy is a surgical process carried out for a number of reasons. This surgery is preferred in scenarios where the breasts have suffered deformities because of reasons such as aging. Generally, a lift mammoplasty may be required because of the following reasons:

• Post Weight Loss Sagging: People who have lost large quantities of weight may also need a breast lift to redefine their sagging breasts.
• Post-Pregnancy Changes: Breast enlargement during pregnancy may cause sagging of the breasts after delivery. Hence, to restore the pre-delivery breast shape, mastopexy surgery has to be done by a plastic surgeon.
• Changes after Breastfeeding: Sagging of the breasts is another common change in the course of breastfeeding. Such symptoms make women lose the shape of their breasts and have some discomforts.
• Effects of Aging and Gravity: Over time, the force of gravity pulls down the breast regardless of whether a woman has had children or not. With this in mind, some individuals choose to go abroad for a breast lift in Turkey as they get older.
• Bra Choice and Asymmetry: Incorrect bras can lead to asymmetrical or drooping breasts. Mastopexy might be considered a good alternative for women who have asymmetrical or sagging breasts.
• Post-Traumatic Deformities: Deformities arising within the breast region as a consequence of injuries or accidents require a boob lift.
• Congenital Asymmetry: When one side of the breast is naturally lower than the other side requires reshaping of the breasts through mammoplasty.

Our plastic surgery clinic, which is one of the breast lift clinics located in Istanbul, mastopexy surgery is carried out by considering diverse factors contributing to boob deformation. Thus, there is an attempt to fulfill the demands of patients related to aesthetic issues.

How is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?

Prior to performing mastopexy surgery, we carry out an in-depth consultation process. In this phase, the surgeon identifies factors such as the nipple position and the degree of breast sagging. The next step involves planning for the procedure according to the individual’s body structure.

For patients with smaller breasts, we perform augmentation mastopexy by inserting the silicone implant below the breasts to increase their volume proportionally. For the reduction mastopexy procedure in Turkey, our surgeon excises part of the breasts. Moreover, the procedure corrects the present problems, if any, such as uneven breasts.

How Long Do the Effects of Breast Lift Surgery Last?

On average, a woman can expect the effects of a breast lift to last for 10 to 15 years. Your individual experience may vary.

Breast Lift Side Effects

Like all other surgical procedures, aesthetic breast surgery may have some side effects. Some of the common side effects of mammoplasty include swelling of tissues under the skin, bruising of the breast area, pain, and nipple sensation changes. Some other possible side effects include infection and poor wound healing.

Most of the side effects experienced by the patient are temporary and will resolve as the healing process takes place. Adhering to the surgeon’s post-operative care advice is an effective means of avoiding complications.

During the first few days, the patient feels slight pain when moving the arm. Simple pain relievers would thus be adequate to cope with such pain and discomfort.

Is There a Loss of Sensation After Breast Lift Surgery?

Another issue that might come up post-surgical procedures for a nipple lift could be numbness/loss of sensation. There can possibly be some numbness post-a breast lift surgery, but it will fade away when reinnervation of nerves takes place.

Doctors inform patients before the surgery that temporary loss of sensation is normal. The next question is whether patients can continue breastfeeding within the recovery period. Indeed, patients can breastfeed their babies since the bilateral mastopexies surgery does not damage the nipples, mammary glands, or milk ducts. This is on condition that the amount of breast tissue undergoing surgery is not considerable.
