For many women saggy breasts are a concern. Breasts generally lose their aesthetics, firmness and dynamic shape over time. Ageing, gravity, weight loss, a heavy diet program, pregnancy and breastfeeding all contribute to the development of sagging breasts. But, here at Novemed, you can get the look you desire by our breast aesthetics service.
Breast Lift Aesthetics
Generally, patients who are satisfied with their breast size but have sagging breasts, it is okay to perform a breast lift operation for more aesthetic, sagging and tightened breasts. Some patients may be unhappy when there is a significant loss of breast volume over time. In such cases, by placing a breast prosthesis, the size of the breast increases as well as its shape and position.
Sagging breasts are good candidates for breast lift surgery
Sometimes the nipple also starts to grow over time, and an aesthetic and raised breast profile is provided with a nipple appearance proportional to the breast lift. The “pen test” is an excellent way to determine whether a breast lift is needed or not. Place a pen under the breast, and if the pen stays in that place, you will benefit from breast lift operation.
In the pre-operation interview, the experts firstly evaluate your complaints and post-operation expectations. The size and shape of your breasts, the condition of your skin, your age, whether you will have a child, and the new place of the nipple will talk to you. It provides information about the details of the operation, scar, nipple sensitivity, breastfeeding, type of anaesthesia and risks of the operation.
Experts request breast ultrasonography under the age of 40 and mammography examinations for patients over 40 years of age. You will need a companion to assist you on the day of the operation.
Aspirin and its derivatives should be stopped one week before the operation. (Do not stop taking the medication you use continuously without consulting your doctor.)
It would be better not to use the cigarette for a while before and after the operation.
On the day of the operation, do not use make-up, do not use hair gel, wear comfortable clothes and leave your jewellery at home.
You should not eat or drink anything 6 hours before the operation. You should be in the hospital for about an hour before the operation. In breast lift operation, the patient and the surgeon decide together on the most appropriate technique (Superior, Superolateral or Inferior Pedicle) to achieve the best result. Experts reshape the nipple and sagging breast tissue. It fulfils the nipple usually, and it removes the excess skin. Depending on the size of the sagging in the breast, there remains a vague scar in different shapes (such as a crescent, circular or 4-5 cm straight incision scar on the nipple that descends from the nipple).
Suppose you want your breasts to look fuller, breast lift and augmentation (silicone prosthesis) operation. In that case, if you want smaller breasts, you can remove sagging by applying breast lift and reduction surgery. The scars are evident at the beginning and become vague over time.
Breast Lift Aesthetics Evaluation of the operation according to breast sagging;
- Stage I; It is corrected with a breast implant or with the technique of skin removal (crescent-shaped scar) with the incision made around the nipple without a breast implant.
- Stage II; It is corrected with an operating technique in the style of lollipop candy, with the incision made around the nipple or with a 4-5 cm scar descending from the nipple
- Stage III; An inverted T-shaped scar or a 4-5 cm watch that goes down from the nipple is corrected with an operating technique in the style of lollipop candy.
It is usually comfortable after the operation. If a breast prosthesis is used during the operation, there may be a limitation in arm movements for a few days. The dressing is opened two days later, and the wound is checked. The bandage is opened after seven days. The patient is put on a sports bra for six weeks. There may be swelling in the early period, numbness in the nipple and penile discolouration on the skin. These disappear spontaneously in a short time.
Depending on your job, you can return to your normal job within 3-4 days. It is recommended to stay away from heavy sports for three months. The newly shaped breast will be durable for a long time. Aesthetic breast lift operation is generally an operation that gives good and permanent results, improves the mental health of the person and his partner, and makes them more dependent on life.
