The breasts are erogenous organs which are symbolizing the womanhood.
Every woman wants to have aesthetically beautiful breasts.
But the breasts may lose its volume because of development defects or as a result
of weight loss after the pregnancy, and can have a drooped appearance with the loosen
skin. It is possible to improve the breast’s appearance which lost their fullness
and firmness through a breast lifting surgery. Only the breast lifting surgery may
not be enough for the drooped breasts with insufficient volume.
The breast lifting surgery is a procedure which forms the breast and corrects the
sagging, but it will not create additional volume to the breast. For such cases
the desired fullness can be gained with an additional volume-creating breast implant
application.
During the examination, the breast skin and tissue must be separately evaluated.
At the end of the evaluation it will be decided about the details of the surgery.
For example, the technique which will be used, the place where the new breast complex
will be placed, the implant application according to the patient’s desire, etc…
The techniques of the operation may differ in accordance with the sagging level.
For low degrees of sagging the breast areola will be brought to the its normal position
and the excessive skin will be removed. If the sagging is too much, the loosen skin
under the breast should also be removed. If there is no extraordinary situation,
we prefer to use the central pedicled technique for our patients.
Our aim is to form the breast tissue and breast skin separately and closing the
skin like a cover without tension and minimizing the scar. Besides that, together
with the aesthetic purpose, the natural circulation and blood support of the breast
nipple, areola and breast tissue must be protected with the nipple sensitivity,
the suckling features must not be negatively affected when the breast placed on
to the new position.
During the breast lifting operation, first the skin will be detached from the breast
tissue, then the breast tissue will be tightened and the skin will be wrapped around
the lifted structure without loosing and tension. With this technique that we prefer
(Central Pedicular Mastopexy) a long lasting, well shaped and raised breast will
be produced without harming the nipple sensitivity and suckling features. On this
technique the operation will be successfully and long termed.
If the breasts are not excessively sagged, around the areola; if the breasts are
too sagged, beside the scar on areola an additional line from nipple to areola will
be made. For the people who have white skin and normal healing physiology, the scars
are not significant. However, the clarity of the scars may differ according to the
age and skin structure of the person.
The surgery will be performed in the hospital under general anesthesia and it takes
two or three hours. The accommodation time in the hospital is one day. It is not
a painful operation but the breasts may have swellings for a couple of weeks. The
scars will be slowly reduced in several months. In three-six months period the breasts
will take their final form and the scars will be healed.
