Breast lift

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and the force of gravity over the years affect the appearance of a woman's breasts. Due to the loss of skin elasticity, the breasts change their appearance and firmness and begin to sag. A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical method that gives the breasts a new appearance, firmness and position. In some cases at the Bagatin Polyclinic, a breast lift is performed in combination with the placement of implants to increase the volume of the breasts. Silicone implants are often used to obtain better results in combination with mastopexy.


Description of the procedure

There are various breast lift techniques, depending on the nature and degree of sagging of the breasts. Dr. Bagatin determines the degree of sagging based on the position of the nipples in relation to the inframammary fold, which is located below the breasts. The breasts of young women who are not sagging have the nipple above the inframammary fold, where the bra wire is located. It is important to make several important decisions before surgery.

During consultations at the Bagatin Polyclinic, each patient undergoes a careful medical examination and receives advice on the appropriate solutions for her case. Very detailed clinical measurements of the chest and breasts are taken, which is very important for the assessment. Women must consider and make a decision about the type of incision and implants, if they are needed.

Candidates

Candidates for a breast lift (mastopexy) are women who have sagging or drooping breasts, often as a result of aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. This procedure is ideal for those who want to lift and firm their breasts without significantly increasing their volume.

Candidates should also be in good health, have a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery. Mastopexy can help improve the shape and position of the breasts, making them more aesthetically pleasing and natural.

Preparation

Come to the consultation and interview at the Bagatin Polyclinic prepared to talk about your health. You must talk about illnesses you have had, your current health, drug allergies, breast biopsies, and medications you are taking. It is important to provide complete information. Tell Dr. Bagatin if you are planning to go on a drastic diet, especially if you have noticed that your breasts have been shrinking since you have been on the diet. Your doctor may recommend that you stabilize your weight first, and only then have the procedure. Your doctor will recommend that you have a baseline mammogram before the procedure, and other mammogram examinations one year after the procedure. The examinations just described can reveal any future tissue changes.

You should stop smoking four to six weeks before the procedure. Two weeks before, stop taking aspirin, herbal preparations or any other supplements and certain medications that prevent inflammation, as their content can cause significant bleeding.

12 to 24 hours before the procedure: Be sure to use antibacterial soap and leave the antibacterial soap lather on the area of ​​the body that will undergo the procedure for about 10 minutes the evening before, the day before the procedure, and the morning after. Scrub your breasts and underarms well with antibacterial soap

Eight hours before surgery: do not eat or drink, remove all jewelry, and remove nail polish from your fingers and toes.

Course of the procedure

Dr. Bagatin will perform a breast examination, measure and photograph the breasts for documentation. The size and shape of the breasts, the quality of the skin, the area around the nipples and areola will be very carefully examined and evaluated. The breast lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia, which means that you will be asleep during the procedure.

You can find out more about the anesthesiology examination at our Polyclinic and the differences between general and local anesthesia here . The surgery takes 4 to 6 hours. Once the excess skin is removed, the nipple and areola are lifted. The skin around the areola is redesigned to create a more beautiful breast.

The stitches are usually placed around the areola, in a vertical line down to the nipple area, and along the lower crease of the breast. If you also want to enlarge your breasts during a breast lift, the implant is placed directly under the breast tissue or deeper under the pectoral muscle.

Recovery

After the surgery, the patient remains under observation and only when the doctor determines that the condition is stable is she moved to a private room. In order to go home safely and in good general condition, the patient will be placed in a recovery room for several hours after the surgery. After the surgery, the patient will receive continuous strong painkillers intravenously. Patients who are more sensitive to painkillers may experience nausea and this should be reported to the nurse immediately. There is a possibility that Dr. Bagatin will place small drains on the side. The drains are left in place overnight and removed the next day.

The patient is discharged from the clinic by the doctor after the procedure, the wound is bandaged and the patient can wear a bra with an elastic bandage. When discharged from the Bagatin Clinic, the patient is recommended to take antibiotics (anti-inflammatory tablets) if necessary, as well as an analgesic. The patient can wash herself using towels and should avoid swimming until the first check-up. However, if the bandage applied after the procedure becomes very dirty in the meantime, the patient should come to the doctor even before the first scheduled check-up. The stitches will be removed in a week to three weeks. If the skin of the breast is dry after the procedure, it can be applied with a neutral cream several times a day, but it is necessary to pay attention to the area around the stitches, which must be dry.

During the first week after surgery, the patient can do moderate exercise and wear a soft sports bra. Pain is variable for the first week or two and can be controlled with painkillers. Most patients should come in for a follow-up examination and a brief demonstration of breast massage exercises, if needed, in the first week after surgery. Nipple and breast skin sensitivity may be reduced due to swelling, but this disappears within six weeks of the procedure.

Precautions

Every surgical procedure carries certain risks, such as risks of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, and swelling. These complications occur rarely and are usually avoidable. At the Bagatin Polyclinic, we have the most modern anesthesia equipment that drastically reduces the risks of the surgery itself. Thousands of women undergo breast augmentation or lift surgery successfully every year and are very satisfied with the results. Our team takes all possible protective measures to minimize any risk. However, very often the responsibility for avoiding risks lies with you. Dr. Bagatin will explain the risks of the surgery in detail during your consultation.

Frequently asked questions

How is a breast lift procedure different from breast augmentation?

Breast lift (mastopexy) and breast augmentation are two different surgical procedures.

A breast lift removes excess skin and tightens tissue to lift sagging breasts. This procedure does not add volume, but corrects the shape and height of the breasts.

Breast augmentation (augmentation) uses implants or your own fat to increase breast size and create a fuller appearance.

Sometimes these two procedures can be combined, depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals.

What is the recovery process like after breast lift surgery?

The recovery process after breast lift surgery takes several weeks and involves certain steps to ensure a successful outcome. In the first few days, patients will experience discomfort, swelling, and pain, which can be controlled with medication. A compression bra will be required to provide support and reduce swelling. Physical activity should be limited, and a full return to daily activities is usually possible within 4 to 6 weeks. Regular check-ups with the surgeon are essential to monitor the progress of recovery.

What are the possible risks or complications?

Every surgical procedure carries certain risks, such as risks of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, and swelling. These complications occur rarely and are usually avoidable.

Who is the ideal candidate for a breast lift?

The ideal candidate for a breast lift is usually a person who meets several criteria:

Stable health : The candidate should be in general good health, with no serious chronic illnesses or conditions that could affect recovery after surgery.

Realistic expectations : It is important that the candidate has realistic expectations about the results of the surgery and understands what can be achieved through a breast lift.

Understanding the Procedure : The candidate should be aware of all aspects of the surgery, including possible risks, the recovery process, and the need for post-operative care.

Satisfaction with current appearance : Ideal candidates are often people who are dissatisfied with the shape or position of their breasts due to aging, changes in body weight, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Good general physical and mental status : People who are emotionally stable and have good mental status usually tolerate surgical procedures and recovery better.

How to maintain the results of the surgery?

Carefully follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding post-operative care. This may include wearing a special bra, avoiding strenuous physical activity, and taking prescribed medication.
