Breast lift or recovery surgery is performed to remove excess skin and increase the firmness and recovery of the breast tissue. In this middle the displaced labor head is transferred to its usual position. Sometimes the enlarged nipple is reduced. Women’s breasts often lose their youthful fullness and form as age progresses. Decrease in breast fullness and loss of elasticity of breast skin due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, weight gain and loss, gravity and genetic factors cause sagging of the breast. The size of the chest does not change with breast lift surgery. If you want to enlarge or shrink, additional processes can be done in a one-to-one session.
To Whom Can It Be Done?
Adult women who do not have a random health problem If there is sagging due to weight loss, it can be done after weight loss stops. If you feel that your breasts are flattened, hollow and have lost their usual shape If the nipple sagged under the lower fold of the chest If the nipple is facing the ground If the areolar area (pink or brown tissue around the nipple) is enlarged You are a candidate for breast lift surgery.
Anesthesia and Surgery
We do it with general anesthesia or sedation (intravenous drug) anesthesia. Pre-operative drawings are made; The size of the skin to be removed and the position of the nipple are determined. Excess skin is removed to provide fullness to the chest. After the operation, the breast tissue is supported with bandages and plasters. If necessary, a drain is placed. There is an average of two days of hospital stay. After fifteen days, the stitches are removed. The intensity of the pain caused by arm movements gradually decreases within a few weeks. If there is no random problem, the patient can return to his normal life within 2-3 weeks. Surgical scar remains on the lower fold of the chest, which descends perpendicular to it around the nipple. It is more obvious in the first months, the redness in the scars decreases as time passes. Changes may also occur in the operated chest over time.
Risks
As with all surgeries, there is a risk of anesthesia. Bleeding may be an infection. Especially in smokers, there is a greater risk of beautification problems at the wound site and not holding the chest. Loss of sensation in the chest, decrease in lactation, hardening in the chest (fat necrosis) may occur. Sometimes revision surgeries may be required due to asymmetry, deformities and irregularities.
