TürkçeBreast Lift
What is a Breast Lift?
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is one of the most popular plastic surgery operations of the past couple of decades. It attempts to provide a new breast contour by reshaping the breast tissue.
How is Breast Lift surgery done?
Breast lift operations take place under general anesthesia. To lift the breasts, the surgeon makes incisions on the breast tissue. Three types of incisions are often preferred by doctors, which are around the areola, vertically down from the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease. Following the incisions, the surgeon lifts the underlying tissue and reshapes it to tighten the skin. Then, the nipple is repositioned to a new height that will mimic more youthful breasts. As the last step, the excess tissue is being extracted and the leftover skin is tightened while the cuts are being stitched back. The size of the incisions differs from one woman to another as the anatomy of the breastworks is the determinant in the process.
The reasons for having Breast Lift
Some of the most common reasons to have a breast lift are pregnancy, breastfeeding, a major change in weight, and aging, all of which might cause sagginess in the breasts.
