Breast Lift

Breast lift is a surgical operation that makes the breasts, which have lost their upright and firm structure due to various reasons, more aesthetic. Sagging breasts are a problem for many women and can also cause problems such as insecurity and depression. Breast structure loses its vitality and erectness over time due to reasons such as breastfeeding, aging and genetic characteristics. This is a problem that no woman wants to experience.

Women who are satisfied with their breast size but have sagging problems often feel uncomfortable about their appearance. It is observed that many women, whose self-confidence decreases due to sagging breast structure, have problems with their husbands as well as their social lives and avoid partnerships.

Breast prolapse consists of 3 stages

Women with sagging breasts are suitable candidate profiles for breast lift operations. Breast sagging is classified in 3 stages. In the first stage, the nipple is at the level of the inframammary groove. In the second stage, the nipple is below the inframammary groove, and in the third stage, the nipple is at the lowest border of the breast tissue and looks down.

In breast lift surgeries, the nipple is reshaped according to the patient’s needs. Excess skin that causes sagging in the breasts is removed, giving the breasts an aesthetic appearance. Considering the needs of the patient, breast reduction or breast augmentation procedures supported by silicone implants can also be combined with the lift operation.
