Breast Lift
Breast lifting, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure aimed at firming and elevating sagging breasts without changing their size. This procedure is ideal for women whose breasts have sagged due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or natural aging. At Estetika Plus, we offer professional breast lifting that helps restore firmness, a youthful appearance, and symmetry.
What is Breast Lifting?
Breast lifting is an aesthetic surgery that involves removing excess skin and firming the breasts to achieve a natural, firmer, and uplifted appearance. Unlike breast augmentation (increasing breast size with implants), the goal of this surgery is to restore the shape and position of the breasts without significantly altering their size. Breast lifting is ideal for women who are satisfied with the size of their breasts but want to achieve a firmer and more symmetrical appearance.
When is Breast Lifting Suitable?
Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are sagging (ptosis) and have lost their shape and firmness, breast lifting can help elevate them and return their youthful appearance.
Loss of Skin Elasticity: This procedure is suitable for women who have excess or loose skin after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or due to aging.
Asymmetrical Breasts: Breast lifting can help adjust the size and shape of the breasts if they are uneven.
How is Breast Lifting Performed?
Breast lifting is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The surgeon will choose the most appropriate technique based on the degree of breast sagging and the individual preferences of the client. There are several methods of mastopexy, with the most common being:
Anchor or inverted "T" incision: This type of incision is suitable for women with significantly sagging breasts. The surgeon makes an incision around the areola, down the breast, and along the inframammary fold. This method allows for the removal of large amounts of excess skin and achieves significant lifting of the breasts.
Vertical incision (lollipop): This type involves an incision around the areola and vertically down to the inframammary fold. It is suitable for women with mildly to moderately sagging breasts.
Periareolar incision: This less invasive approach involves an incision only around the areola and is suitable for women with a minor degree of breast sagging.
After making the incision, the surgeon will remove excess skin, firm the breasts, and adjust the position of the areola and nipple to ensure they are symmetrical and in a natural position. The incisions are then closed, and the breasts are secured into the desired shape.
Benefits of Breast Lifting
Breast lifting significantly firms and elevates the breasts, restoring their youthful shape and natural appearance.
The surgery allows for the adjustment of size and shape, leading to better symmetry and aesthetically balanced proportions.
Many women experience increased confidence after the surgery as their breasts look fuller, firmer, and uplifted.
Recovery After Breast Lifting
After the surgery, it is common to wear a special compression bra that helps reduce swelling and supports healing. During the first few days post-surgery, it is common to experience pain and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication. Clients are advised to rest and limit physical activity for 1 to 2 weeks. Full physical activity, including sports, should be postponed for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.
Results and Long-Term Effects
The results of breast lifting are visible immediately after the surgery, but the final shape of the breasts will settle over several months as swelling subsides and scars fade. The results are usually long-lasting, but natural aging processes and changes in weight can affect breast shape in the future.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensitivity, or scarring. At Estetika Plus, we use modern techniques and prioritize safety to minimize these risks and achieve the best possible results.
