Before the breast lift surgery, the measurements are taken and the lift is done accordingly. In addition to that, since the operation is an aesthetic operation, the expectations of the patient are also important and these are also evaluated. The general condition of the breast is checked.
If the sagging is slight, a silicone prosthesis is placed under the muscle tissue and the breast is lifted. If the sagging is more, the breast must be reduced before the lift operation.
How is Breast Lift Performed?
Breast lift surgery is primarily performed under hospital conditions and under general anesthesia. It takes about 2 hours to 4 hours. In patients with slight sagging, a silicone prosthesis is placed on the lower part of the breast. The doctor determines the surgical technique according to the condition of the breast.
Who Should Have Breast Lift?
Breast lift surgery is one of the operations performed on anyone who has completed their physical development and is physically healthy and has deformation and sagging problems with their breasts.
Things to Know After Breast Lift Operation
After breast lift surgery, the patient is advised to apply ice compresses at the advise of their doctor. In addition, after the operation, the patient has to wear a special bra, that is something like a sports-bra that provides support.
The drain placed on both breasts during the operation is removed after 2 days and the stitches are removed after approximately 15 days. Edema may occur after the operation, and this edema will resolve over time when the breast shape begins to form. It takes approximately 10 weeks for the breast to take its desired shape.
After the operation, surgical scars remain on the breasts. However, this is not much of a problem and the patient is informed accordingly.
