What is a Breast Lift? 

A breast lift is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting breast sagging and achieving an aesthetically pleasing appearance. At Beauty Art İstanbul, our expert team customizes this procedure based on individual expectations and the condition of the breast tissue. Before the surgery, the breast condition is evaluated, and an appropriate method is determined based on the degree of sagging. For minor sagging, a silicone implant is placed, while more significant sagging may require breast reduction. 

How is a Breast Lift Performed? 

Breast lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. The duration of the surgery ranges from 2 to 4 hours. In cases of minor sagging, a silicone implant is placed in the lower part of the breast. The surgical technique is determined by the doctor based on the condition of the breast. 

Who is a Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery? 

Anyone who is 18 years old, physically healthy, and experiencing breast sagging can undergo a breast lift surgery. Post-surgery, there may be scars on the breasts, but they are generally not bothersome. The healing process may vary depending on skin type. 

Pre-Operative Preparation for a Breast Lift 

Before surgery, a plastic surgeon will perform a breast examination. For patients over 40, mammograms and ultrasound may be required. Smoking should be avoided before and after surgery for 4-5 weeks to aid in faster recovery. Blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medications should be discontinued 2-3 weeks prior to surgery. 

Post-Operative Care and Considerations 

After surgery, ice compresses and wearing a special support bra are recommended. Stitches are removed after about 15 days, and swelling may take up to 10 weeks to resolve. Breastfeeding is generally possible, as milk ducts are usually preserved. 

Long-Term Results of Breast Lift Surgery 

Post-surgery sagging may occur depending on age and the size of the implant used, but it is generally less severe than pre-surgery sagging. Stretch marks and deformities are typically addressed during the surgery. Scars from the surgery are usually fine lines due to aesthetic stitching.
