Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)
Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy) – A Firmer and More Aesthetic Appearance
Over time, factors such as gravity, aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations can cause the breast tissue to sag. With breast lift surgery (mastopexy), we restore the breasts to a firmer, fuller, and more youthful appearance.
Many of our patients frequently ask how the procedure is performed, what the recovery process looks like, and what kind of results they can expect. In this article, we will provide detailed information about breast lift surgery.
What is Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift surgery is a procedure we perform to reshape sagging breast tissue, remove excess skin, and reposition the nipple to a more youthful and natural position. During this procedure, we can either maintain the existing breast volume or, depending on the patient's preference, add implants to enhance volume.
With this operation, we can:
✔️ Reposition the nipple (areola) to a higher, more natural position.
✔️ Remove excess skin to achieve a firmer breast shape.
✔️ Reshape the breast tissue to create a more lifted and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
✔️ Correct asymmetry between the breasts.
Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery?
We perform breast lift surgery for patients who are bothered by sagging breasts and want a more youthful, perky appearance. Common reasons our patients seek mastopexy include:
- Downward-positioned nipples
- Sagging and loss of volume due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Loss of skin elasticity and firmness in the breasts
- Noticeable asymmetry between the breasts
- Desire for a firmer and lifted look without increasing breast size
We assess each patient's breast structure and expectations to create the most suitable treatment plan.
How is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
One of the most frequently asked questions is how the procedure is carried out. We typically perform breast lift surgery under general anesthesia, and the procedure takes approximately 2-3 hours.
✔️ Removing Excess Skin: We remove excess, sagging skin to tighten and reshape the breast.
✔️ Repositioning the Nipple: We move the areola and nipple to a higher position for a more youthful appearance.
✔️ Reshaping the Breast Tissue: We contour the breast tissue to enhance its firmness and achieve a natural look.
Depending on the patient's needs, we can add breast implants to increase volume or reshape the existing breast tissue to complete the procedure.
Recovery Process After Breast Lift Surgery
Recovery times may vary from patient to patient, but in general:
- Mild swelling and tenderness may occur after surgery.
- Most patients can return to daily activities within 1-2 days.
- We recommend avoiding heavy physical activity for a certain period.
- Full recovery typically takes a few weeks.
While the results of a breast lift can be long-lasting, we remind our patients that natural changes in breast tissue may continue over time.
