Breast lift
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. If the patient has mild breast sagging, results can be achieved by placing a prosthesis under the breast. In patients with severe sagging, just as in breast reduction surgery, breast augmentation removes excess skin, creating a more upright and aesthetic appearance. Some patients may have excessive breast sagging. In such cases, if the sagging is excessive and the amount of mammary glands is insufficient, a breast lift and implant are performed simultaneously.
How is breast augmentation performed?
In a regular breast lift, the breast volume (i.e., the breast size) remains unchanged, but its shape is enhanced. If there is significant volume loss and sagging in the breasts, breast augmentation with silicone implants is performed in conjunction with a breast lift to eliminate sagging and restore the desired volume and shape. This type of surgery, which involves two separate procedures, requires more surgical expertise.
Some patients suffering from decreased breast size and sagging undergo a breast lift, while others undergo a breast augmentation. Following the examination, the degree of sagging and breast size are assessed, and the appropriate breast augmentation procedures are determined.
Non-surgical breast augmentation tips
We understand how appealing the above title is to patients with breast size issues. However, there are always some facts in life. These facts must be clearly explained to the patient when it comes to surgical interventions. Otherwise, the patient will have different expectations and, ultimately, instead of happiness and self-confidence, may cause various psychological problems for the patient.
As part of breast lift procedures, it is necessary to remove excess tissue from the breast. This excess tissue can be simply fatty tissue, or it can include skin and breast tissue.
If tissue removal is necessary, the only method performed is surgical. With the surgical method, because an incision is made during the removal of this excess tissue, breast lift surgery is never scar-free.
However, we believe that the scarring problem need not frighten patients because, especially in non-smoking patients, surgical scars become very pale and inconspicuous after the healing period of a breast lift. This scar never disappears completely, but it becomes more apparent over time. After a while, it becomes so pale that even the patient's eyes cannot see it.
