Breast Lift
Life Time Aesthetic Surgery
Breast lift surgery is the fastest and surest way to have upright and aesthetic looking breasts. This surgery makes it possible to correct sagging breasts .
Breast sagging can occur due to age or various factors. In particular, factors such as sudden weight gain and loss or breastfeeding can lead to significant sagging of the breast. In this case, methods such as breast lift surgery may come into play. Thanks to these methods, an upright and aesthetic breast appearance can be achieved. Breast lift operations should be performed by an experienced aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery specialist. Otherwise, it is difficult to benefit from the operation and even the general health of the individual may be jeopardized.
How is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
Breast lift surgery can be performed using different techniques and medical materials depending on the situation. For breast lift surgery, an incision is usually made in the aerola, which is the colored ring part of the nipple, or at the level of the lower breast line. Through these incisions, the nipple is made more erect and sagging skin pieces are removed.
Who Can Have Breast Lift Surgery?
1. Women Who Gain and Lose Weight Very Quickly
Gaining weight very quickly and unhealthily can lead to sagging not only in areas such as arms and legs, but also in the breasts. Especially if an obese or morbidly obese individual loses weight very quickly, he may witness that his breasts shrink and sagging occurs during this shrinkage.
Some people’s breasts may sag even at a very young age due to factors such as genetic factors, even if there is no weight gain or loss.
Especially individuals with very large breasts are at risk in this regard because the probability of sagging in large breasts is higher than the probability of sagging in small breasts. In such cases, breast lift operations can be used to eliminate the sagging breast appearance that the individual is uncomfortable with.
3. Older Women
As the human body ages, the skin loses its elasticity and sagging occurs with the effect of external factors such as gravity. In women with large breasts, these sagging is especially seen in the chest area. This problem can be solved with breast lift operations in order to give an aesthetic appearance and improve the quality of life.
4. Women During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
With the hormone waves experienced during pregnancy, the body’s preparation for the breastfeeding period can lead to breast enlargement. This enlargement of the breasts can develop rapidly. In addition, breast enlargement may also occur at the beginning of the breastfeeding period. However, this growth is temporary and ends with the regularization or termination of breastfeeding. Therefore, the breasts return to their former size, but sagging may occur due to loss of volume. The most effective and definitive method to correct this saggy appearance is breast lift surgery.
What Should Be Considered Before Breast Lift Surgery?
Before the breast lift surgery, you should share some information with the plastic surgeon during the interview. The first information you should share is what kind of breast appearance you want to achieve. In some operations, breast lift surgery will cause the breasts to shrink, so if the individual does not want her breasts to shrink, a suitable surgery should be performed accordingly. Therefore, you should provide clear information about what kind of appearance you want to achieve.
In addition, you should also share relevant medical information with your doctor. Especially if you have health problems such as a hereditary breast disease, you should not forget to share this information with your doctor.
You should not smoke during the 1-month period before breast lift surgery. Since smoking negatively affects blood circulation, it may cause complications during or after surgery.
Blood thinners should also not be used before breast lift surgery. Blood thinners such as aspirin may prevent the control of bleeding during any surgery, including breast lift surgery. Failure to control bleeding can lead to very dangerous situations. However, if you are taking blood thinners for a very vital reason, you should discuss this with your doctor and use them as recommended by your doctor. In addition, birth control pills and vitamin E supplements can cause excessive blood thinning and increase the risk of bleeding. Therefore, you should also stop using these medications.
What Should I Pay Attention to After Breast Lift Surgery?
You should stay away from heavy activities for 1-2 weeks after breast lift surgery. Activities such as lifting weights, lying down or bending over can cause your chest muscles to strain. Straining your chest muscles also negatively affects the healing process.
After breast lift surgery, you should only sleep on your back until the healing process is complete. Sleeping on your stomach or side can be very dangerous as it can put pressure on the surgical area. Therefore, you should force yourself to sleep on your back after surgery.
During the 6-week period after breast lift surgery, you should use the bra recommended by your doctor. This bra is different from conventional bras. The bra used after breast lift surgery does not use underwire and is very soft. Therefore, the breasts are prevented from being uncomfortable after the breast lift operation and the healing process can proceed in a healthier way.
After breast lift surgery, the breast area should be kept away from sun rays and chemicals used in skin care. Sun rays and heavy skin care products containing AHA BHA acids can cause damage to the skin in the breast area. Such damage negatively affects the healing process and may cause you to suffer.
Is Hospitalization Required After Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift operation is not a very small-scale operation. Therefore, it is necessary to stay in the hospital for one day after the operation. It is very important to be a hospitalized patient in the one-day period after breast lift surgery in order to intervene in case of any complications.

Providing an Aesthetic Appearance
Increased Quality of Life
Many individuals think that breast lift surgery is performed only for aesthetic concerns. However, this is a misconception that has no basis in reality. Sagging breasts can cause not only an unaesthetic appearance but also other problems. Individuals with sagging breasts may experience problems such as diaper rash, especially in hot weather. In addition, it may become impossible to use some clothes and underwear due to sagging breasts. Sagging breasts can cause the individual to slouch because they are uncomfortable with their weight and appearance. Slouching can lead to permanent posture disorders and have a negative impact on general health. These situations may prevent the individual from living in a quality way and as they wish. At this point, if a breast lift operation, which is a very effective breast aesthetic operation, comes into play, it may be possible to permanently get rid of these situations that affect the quality of life.

Does Sagging Happen Again After Breast Lift Surgery?
Sagging may occur again after breast lift surgery. There are several factors that can cause this situation. The first reason why sagging may occur again after breast lift surgery is not following the postoperative recommendations. If you do not follow the recommendations of your plastic surgeon, the upright and aesthetic breast appearance you can achieve as a result of surgery may be temporary. In addition, situations such as rapid weight gain and loss or breastfeeding can also cause sagging after surgery.
How Much Does Breast Lift Surgery Cost?
The price of breast lift surgery is determined depending on multiple factors. The most important factor in breast lift surgery is the experience of the doctor who will perform the surgery and the facilities of the health institution. As the experience of the aesthetic surgery specialist increases and the facilities of the health institution where the surgery will take place improve, the price of breast lift surgery may increase. In addition, the expectations of the patient who wants to have a breast lift operation may also affect the materials used and cause price changes.
How Many Hours Does Breast Lift Surgery Take?
Breast lift surgery usually takes 2 – 3 hours. The duration of the surgery may vary depending on the techniques and materials used for the surgery. However, factors such as having a hereditary breast disease can also cause the duration of breast lift surgery to be longer. Therefore, you should consult your doctor to get the most accurate information about the duration of breast lift surgery. Your doctor can give information about the duration of the operation by considering your general health condition and the techniques to be used in the operation.
Is Breast Lift Surgery Permanent?
Breast lift surgery is an operation with long-lasting effects. However, it is not possible to say that it is permanent for life. The main reason for this situation is that sagging occurs again with aging and loss of elasticity of the skin. Pregnancy and sudden weight gain and loss are also factors that shorten the effect of breast lift surgery. Breast volume changes that occur during pregnancy and weight gain and loss may cause sagging despite breast lift surgery.
