Things to Consider in Breast Lift Surgery

Sagging breast tissue in women can cause both aesthetic and emotional problems. For this reason, many women actively seek different ways to find a solution to this problem. Regarding this, one of the most preferred aesthetic solution to this problem is breast lift surgery. Because it is a simple procedure to eliminate breast deformities. However, like in every surgery, there are important points to consider in this process. These important points are usually divided into two stages: before and after the surgery.

Things to Consider Before Breast Lift Surgery

First of all, as in other aesthetic breast surgeries, you should consult a plastic surgeon that has extensive experience in breast lift surgery.

• Before performing a breast lift operation, it is very important to discuss with the surgeon who will perform the operation about your expectations from the operation, the application method and the problems that may occur.
• You should share all health-related information with your surgeon. This includes any illnesses, smoking habits, alcohol use, or drug use.
• Whether you are under or over 40 years old, the doctor will ask for a mammogram.
• During breast lift surgery, the breast tissue is separated as a single mass and moved to a different location. Smoking causes tissue death as it causes blockage of blood circulation. That’s why, it is very important to quit smoking before and after surgery.
• You should stop taking certain medications such as birth control pills, aspirin and vitamin E before surgery because they increase the risk of bleeding.

Things to Consider After Surgery

What is the process after breast lift surgery is a much researched question

• In the first period after the operation, you may feel mild pain when moving, coughing or sneezing, but it will decrease by using painkillers recommended by the specialist.
• Arm movements should be reduced as much as possible to reduce the feeling of pain, this will also help to recover in a shorter time.
• A bra-like bandage is placed over the breasts and a thin tube (drain) is placed on either side of the breast to remove blood and fluid that may accumulate in it. The drainage tubes are removed on the fourth day after the operation.
• The first 3 days after the operation should be in a semi-sitting position for rest.
• On the fifth day, the bandage is opened and the drainage tube is removed. Self-dissolving sutures are usually used in this operation, so they do not need to be removed. However, if there are stitches that do not dissolve, they are removed after the tenth day.
• Stitched parts should not be exposed to the sun for 6 months.
• A special bra should be worn for at least two months after the operation.
