Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Breast aesthetics procedures are usually performed to create changes in the breast. Aesthetic procedures are also resorted to due to health-related problems. Breast lift Surgery, which is one of these procedures, is similar to breast reduction surgery as a procedure. Flabbiness caused by skin tissue that occurs in the breast can be replaced by appropriate surgical procedures for people who are not satisfied with this condition. The sags located in the nipple and lower crease area are shaped by the method of straightening.
Breast Lift Surgery Procedure
Breast lift, as in other surgical procedures, is performed with incisions. The nipple and its surroundings begin with an incision made from the nipple to the fold and go down the opposite side of the nipple. These incisions are made in accordance with the breast model determined by the patient and the Doctor. It is also a question of interest whether there will be scar result of this process. As with almost all surgical procedures, there are obvious scars at an early stage in the breast lift process. Scars disappear over time as the process progresses.
What are the Risk Factors of Breast Lift Surgery?
Although the necessary precautions are being taken, unforeseen risks are likely to occur in breast lift as well as in every operation. Regional bleedings may occur, in the first 24 hour period after the operation. Suture site infections are among one of the most common complications.
Since conditions such as diabetes, smoking can increase the likelihood of complications, it is necessary to provide the necessary precautions and controls. Although rare, other complications may develop in the sutures. However, it can be controlled immediately with the necessary interventions.
Does Breast Lift Prevent Breastfeeding?
Breast lift surgery is a highly controlled and planned process. The protection of the mammary glands during the operation is important. Therefore, there are no problems with breastfeeding. However, it should be noted that even though it is very unlikely, a full guarantee cannot be given.

Checkups are usually provided at the hospital on the day the Breast Lift is performed. If no problem are noticed during the checks, the patient is discharged the next day. During the early recovery period, heavy exercise should be avoided and the patient should not lie on the bed for long periods. During the first 4 weeks period, patients should lie on their backs to prevent damage in chest area. If there are no problems at the first check-ups, the patient is allowed to address personal care needs, such as taking a shower.
After the operation special bras should be used 6-8 weeks. Other detailed points may vary between the patient and the surgeon.
