Breast Lift
With advancing age or even with pregnancy and lactation, the breast may suffer from morphological and voluminous changes depending on the physical and hormonal changes that play a key role in the formation of glandular tissues and ducts in the breast, so the breast may expand at some point and lose these tissues later, causing expansion in the skin of the breast and loss of the youthful appearance of the breast.
Breast lift differs from breast augmentation in terms of the principle of surgery, where both plastic surgeries work to obtain a more youthful and cosmetic appearance for the breast, until breast lift depends on removing some of the skin and reshaping the breast skin tissue without adding any new materials.
Reasons for doing a breast lift
At the Excellage Clinic, we work to educate our patients, work to clarify all the reasons, and discuss the procedures followed in full with them. The reasons that necessitate undergoing a breast lift are also discussed, including:
- sagging breast skin with loss of breast shape or size
- when the breast becomes more elongated and flatter
- if the nipples come down under the skin of the breast
- when the nipples and areola become down
- areola stretched out of proportion to your breasts
- asymmetry in the size and level of the breasts
Risks of breast augmentation
as with any surgical procedure, as with any surgical procedure, the breast lift operation contains general risks related to the same as any surgical operation, and it also contains specialized risks related to the surgical operation in particular, including:
- the possibility of surgical scars in place of surgical sutures
- changes in sensation in the breast or nipple
- the shape and size of the breasts are uneven.
- partial or complete loss of the nipple or areola.
like any major surgery, a breast lift carries a risk of bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Reasons for delaying breast lift
breast lift is not suitable for all people, so we advise at Excellage Clinic to discuss all future expectations in addition to future plans, to ensure that this procedure is suitable for the woman, as it is not preferable to perform a breast lift and tightening operation for a woman:
- plan a pregnancy in the future, because the breasts may re-enlarge and lose previous results
- planning for breast-feeding, as lactation affects the amount of milk that is made, but breast-feeding is still possible
