Breast Lift

   Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and recontour sagging breasts and ptosis nipples. Breast volume decreases and aesthetic appearance damages in enlarging breasts after ending of suckling period especially due to sucking and childbearing. Same result may be seen in some patients as a result of decreasing of breast tissue due to excessive gaining or loosing loss. Generally skin does not correspond with this reduction and breast and nipple prolpse trough down. This prolapse can be corrected with breast lifting surgery (breast aesthetic).

   Breast lifting surgery is made with own tissues of patient. Only excessive parts of softening skin are removed and breast is raised up before removal of breast tissue. As a result of breast lifting surgery sometimes reverse T shape seqeula, sometimes a single line from nipple to down side and sometimes a sequela remains around breast. While this sequela is seen as pink it reduces by becoming white in a few months. The method and sequela type will depend on body, breast structure and expectations of patient. In case of very little prolapse, a skin is removed around nipple breast ring and is sutured by shrinking around it. In this situation very little seuqela will remain. But it is important to chose a case appropriate with this.

   In case of a very little breast prolapse situation such prolapse can be recovered by enlarging breast with silicon breast prosthesis method if volume of breast is also small. In this procedure a very little sequela will remain too. Thus lifting surgery with other words removal of skin will be necessary with prosthesis in such a situation. In medium degree prolapses it is possible to make breast lifting wit a vertical sequela. Breast lifting surgery can be under local or general anaesthesia. It will be necessary to accommodate in the hospital if it s made under general anaesthesia. Sutures are removed in approximately 15 days after surgery.
