THE
PLASTIC SURGERY OF BREAST
LIFTING
The breast lifting operation
is a plastic surgery that is
also known as mastopexy and
breast steeping surgery.
THE BREAST AESTHETIC AND
THE BREAST LIFTING OPERATION
Look at your breast in the
mirror. If your nipples are
above the line of the
folding part that means
everything is all right.
However, if it is at this
level you have light breast
pendency, if it is below it
you have high level breast
pendency. This shows that
you may need a breast
lifting operation.
Especially the nipples that
face down, shows the
seriousness of the situation.
WHO SHOULD UNDERGO THIS
OPERATION
In fact, this surgery can be
considered as transforming a
problem (pendency) into
another (scar). Therefore
this surgery might not be
convenient for everybody. If
the pendency is at medium
level and you think that you
will be seriously bothered
by the signs do not undergo
this surgery. But if you
have breasts that is drooped
excessively and if you think
that nothing can be worse
than that this surgery is
appropriate for you. After
the surgery you will have
breasts which are upright,
shapely and in the size that
you desired.
It is a very personal topic
that how much the scars
would disturb you. In my
observation, my patients do
not make it a problem as I
estimated. Because I perform
this operation to the
patients that I eliminated
there has been no patient
who is unhappy by those
scars. But it is important
to remember that this
surgery leaves more scars
and it is relevant to the
factors of treating of the
patient that how much the
scar is distinctive.
COMPLICATIONS AND
PROBLEMS THAT CAN OCCUR
The leading problems are the
infection and bleeding.
There is almost no risk of
serious bleeding in this
surgery. The bleeding may
emerge in a part of the
breast as blood accumulation
namely hematom. Your doctor
may desire to make you
undergo the surgery again
and clean this accumulation
or stop bleeding if it
continues.
A tumescence which is on one
side for 5 days may be the
sign of an infection. The
solution the healer will be
again to clean the infection
and treatment with
antibiotics.
Even it is seldom, the loss
of complexion would be among
the complications that may
emerge. It usually appears
on the patients that smoke
after the surgery.
Particularly, the risk
increases when big breasts
are reduced. Skin takes a
shape which is black and
hard and it may need to
apply dressing for a ling
time. One of the ways to
reduce this period is to
clean the dead skin. The
same skin problem can appear
on the nipple. After
dressing the wound, it gets
cured beyond the estimations.
Never start to smoke just
because you think nothing
happens. Remember that the
first two weeks is important
after the surgery. The
problems of wound to recover
are because of the thick
sutures. They usually
recover after applying
dressing for them.
Aesthetic problems:
Asymmetry is one of the
problems that can occur
after the surgery. It might
be necessary to perform a
retouching operation after
serious asymmetries. There
is always a possibility for
you of not liking the shape
after this surgery. In this
case also you have a second
operation chance. Usually it
is easy to fix the
asymmetries. The hardest
deformation is to fix the
nipples that are made
excessively upturned. In
plastic surgery of breast it
is easy to lift the breasts
but it is hard to make them
droop.

TIPS
Before the surgery
make sure that you
take a control
mammogram and keep
it.
Look in the mirror
and determine how
much your breasts
drooped. If your
nipples are below
the line of folding
you are a candidate
of the surgery.
In this surgery, a
very great shape can
be provided for the
breasts but it is
inevitable to have
signs.
The more the breasts
drooped, the more
the sign that will
remain.
WHAT HAPPENS
BEFORE AND AFTER THE
SURGERY
This is a middle
degree operation in
magnitude and
difficulty. It is
not an aching
operation. Generally
the patients can
discharge at the
same day and they
can be back at work
after 3-4 days.
The first day may
relatively be
bothering. Usually
it is adequate to
take a painkiller by
mouth. This surgery
is not an operation
that serious
tumescence and
lividness are
expected.
If you work it is
better to reserve a
week for this
surgery. After this
surgery you become
almost normal after
one week.
