Breasts are one of the most prominent parts of the female body and a significant symbol of femininity. However, over time, changes in shape and appearance can occur. Due to factors such as aging, genetics, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations, sagging in the breasts can happen. This can cause many women to feel physically and emotionally uncomfortable. In Turkey, breast uplift surgeries provide you with a firmer, shapelier, and younger breast appearance.
Breast uplift surgery is suitable for individuals with the following characteristics:
Those with varying degrees of sagging (ptosis)
Sagging and loss of skin elasticity
Individuals with reduced or excessive breast tissue
Those without distinct breast divisions
Breasts with pseudoptosis (mild sagging) features
Those with downward-pointing or prominent nipples
For this procedure to be successful, it is important to have adequate breast tissue. Your doctor will reshape the existing tissue to achieve a natural and aesthetic result.
Consultation and Preparation
The first step is to have a detailed consultation with your surgeon. Your medical history, lifestyle, medications, and previous surgeries are evaluated. If you smoke, it is recommended to stop at least 3 weeks before the operation. This preparation process directly affects the safety and success of the surgery.
Anesthesia
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Some tests are conducted prior to the surgery, and your anesthesiologist will assess you.
Incisions
The surgeon determines the most suitable incision technique. The most commonly used incisions are:
Periareolar (Circular): A circular incision around the areola
Vertical (Lollipop): A vertical incision starting from the areola and extending to the lower fold
Inverted T (Anchor): An incision starting from the areola, extending vertically, and horizontally along the fold
The choice of the method depends on your breast structure and skin elasticity.
Lifting and Reshaping
After the incisions are made, the underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped. Excess skin is removed, and the breasts are given a firmer shape. The nipple is repositioned upwards, and if necessary, the size of the areola is adjusted.
Sutures and Final Touches
The incisions are closed with subcutaneous sutures or surgical tape. Over time, the sutures fade and become less noticeable. Typically, you can be discharged the same day after the surgery.
Although the recovery process varies from person to person, the following are generally observed:
Ice compresses may be applied after surgery.
You may need to wear a special bra recommended by your surgeon.
Fine tapes may be used on the stitches; they are removed by your doctor.
If drains were placed, they are usually removed within 2 days.
Mild pain, swelling, and sensitivity may occur in the first weeks.
Avoid heavy physical activities and exercise for a few weeks.
Complete recovery and final breast shape may take 8-12 weeks.
Regular doctor check-ups are essential to avoid rare complications like infections.
Immediately after the surgery, a noticeable difference in the position and shape of the breasts is felt. As swelling decreases and tissues adapt to the new position, the results become clearer. Reaching the final results typically takes 6 to 12 months.
It is important to remember that although breast uplift is a permanent procedure, factors such as aging, pregnancy, and breastfeeding may lead to sagging over time. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the procedure is crucial.
