Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery or breast lifting is a surgical procedure that ensures breast remodeling. The surgery represents a procedure through which excess skin is removed from the breast area in order to lift and/or remodel them, to make them look younger.
Sagging breasts are the result of several factors, such as maternity or breastfeeding, and the effect of these causes leads to the deterioration or rupture of the fibrous bands that support the breasts in their youthful shape, which leads to skin stretching. With subsequent reduction, the unsupported breasts naturally resettle in the stretched skin, with gravitational force pulling them down. Weight gain and loss dynamics, as well as the aging process the body goes through, can have the same effect on the breasts.
What are the factors that cause breast sagging?
Breast sagging is caused by:
-
Pregnancy
The larger the natural breasts are before pregnancy, the greater the risk that they will lose their initial shape and sag during and after pregnancy.
-
Breastfeeding
A single breastfeeding session will not affect the elasticity and shape of your breasts, but multiple pregnancies involving breastfeeding are certainly a risk factor for sagging breasts.
-
Weight fluctuations
Major weight fluctuations can cause sudden stretching of the skin around the breasts. Maintaining a healthy and constant weight can help keep your breasts lifted and beautiful.
-
Aging
As the body ages, the ligaments that make up the breast tissue stretch and lose elasticity. As a result, breast fullness is compromised as the underlying support system of tissues and fats diminishes. Breasts may sag more during menopause.
-
Hereditary factors
Sagging breasts over time can be a genetically transmitted cause, representing a common anomaly in generations of women in a family.
Main types of breast lifting
There are 4 types of breast lift procedures that can ensure breast reshaping and lifting:
01. Breast lift without volume intervention
It is the process of lifting the breasts through elevation, without needing to extract from the fullness of the breast.
02. Mastopexy with breast implant
03. Breast lift with breast reduction
04. Breast lift with ascension and asymmetry correction
Main benefits of breast lift surgery
Performing a breast lift surgery can bring the following benefits:
Firmer breasts
When the breasts are lifted during surgery, the support structures are restored, which gives the breasts a firmer appearance and feel.
Nipple remodeling & repositioning
Reduction of back and neck pain
Reduces the risk of skin irritation
Planning the breast lift procedure
To plan a breast lift surgery, it is necessary to go through a series of evaluations that will determine the type of surgical procedure based on your needs, as well as your general health condition to avoid any type of subsequent complications. These are:
01. Consult chirurgical
02. Analize de sânge preoperatorii
03. Ecografie de sân
04. Consult de cardiologie și anestezie.
Considering that the surgery takes place at the level of the skin and not at the level of the breast muscles, the recovery after the breast lift procedure is possibly rapid, if you follow the advice of the plastic surgeon. Thus, in the first few days after the operation you will have to wear a surgical bra over the bandages on your chest to tone and maintain the shape of the breasts after the operation.
