Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. A woman's breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can result from:

Pregnancy
Breastfeeding
Weight fluctuations
Aging
Gravity
Heredity

It is often a necessary to increase the volume with the silicone implant together with the correction of saggy and large nipples also saggy breasts. In aestetic surgery breast augmentation and lift is one of the procedure that preoperative planning is so vital . The patient's skin structure, degree of s breast sagging , body size ,weight loss and gain periods and of course breast volume which desired by patient should all be considered together.

After This surgery, which requires considerable experience and requires careful planning, an increase in self-confidence is observed in the early period and good results are obtained. Another aspect of the surgery is lifting. Due to the fact that excess sagging especially excess skin and breast tissue in lower part of the breast, nipple is moved up with an incision around nipple, the breast is narrowed with a perpendicular incision to the downward and the bottom excess is fixed with a horizontal incision. This results in a scar around the nipple and a reverse T-shaped scar.

This scar's visibility is related to patients tissue but it will heal in softly way and not disturb the patient if it is treated with surgical principles. After 3-6 months from the surgery; some interventions for this scar will provide even better results. With careful surgery and well placed incisions, that will not a problem for patients.

The patients will be happier with a lifted ,reshaped and fuller breasts. Breast implants are the gold standard method in cases where the tissue is insufficient to maintain breast volume. Considering the thickness of the breast tissue, the implant can be placed under the pectoral muscle or fascia. Breast implants does not hold the breast but integrity and elasticity of the breast can hold the breast implants. The implants which is larger than the elastic capacity of the breast skin can cause sagging at the lower part of the breast . This can be seen over time in patients especially whose skin elasticity is not good. In such a case, it is possible to remove excess skin with smaller volumes of implants . Thats why ;we warn our patients before surgery about this issue. In addition, when the nipple is taken upwards, there will be tension on skin so if the desired implants volume is large in each case it may not be possible to place it . It will be the best if you act according to your doctor's recommendation with your expectations. We encounter sagging in breast tissue and volume loss due to rapid and large amounts of weight loss in recent times.

For this reason, the frequency of breast lift and augmentation surgeries has also increased. This situation formerly occured due to weight loss -gain after pregnancy results in pre-natal breast augmentation surgeries with increasing number of weight loss surgeries . These operations before pregnancy has no negative effect on nursing. Liveliness of nipple and mammary glands are protected in breast augmentation and implant surgeries. Over time the skin re-sagging with the weight of implants can not be compared with the old one in patients who have too much loose skin or their weight loss has continued. In this case, mini skin tightening interventions may be needed especially in these patients. When these surgeries involve to be done in a small region or only a skin ,healing will be in short time and fast . It is not very right to make a definite assessment about how sagging may occur related to weight losing after breast augmentation surgery but ;in general weight loss as much as 5 percent of body weight can be tolerated.
