Sagging breasts may occur due to not using a regular and appropriate bra, after breastfeeding or after losing weight, and there is also deformity in saggy breasts. In such cases, the breast is surgically lifted up to where it should be, lifted up and filled with its own tissue, making it fuller and more shaped.
Before the surgery, a detailed interview and examination is made, blood tests, heart electrocardiography and lung x-ray are taken, and the approval of the anesthesiologist is obtained. If there is breast cancer in the patient's family, mammography and breast ultrasound are performed for patients over the age of 35 and all patients over the age of forty. The surgery is performed in a fully equipped hospital under general anesthesia (full sleep) and the surgery takes approximately 2-3 hours. The incision shape is decided according to the degree of sagging.
If the sagging is minimal, surgery is performed by making an incision only around the nipple. If the sagging is moderate, surgery is performed by making a 5-6 cm vertical incision around the nipple and below the nipple (popularly called a lollipop incision). If the sagging is excessive, surgery is performed by making an inverted T-shaped incision.
The patient comes out of the surgery wearing a special bra, starts eating and drinking 4-6 hours after the surgery, the patient can use his arms enough to eat, drink and take care of himself on the same day, and is discharged the next day. It is recommended to use antibiotics and painkillers for about a week.
The patient can be washed two days after the discharge date, no dressing is done, and no stitches are removed because dissolvable stitches are used.
One week of absolute rest is recommended, one week later one can start working life and daily activities, one must wear a special bra for about 1 month.
Since the milk ducts and mammary glands are preserved in breast lift surgery, the patient can later become pregnant and breastfeed her baby.
