Sagging of the breasts can disturb the person. There may be several different situations that may cause this situation. Breast lift operation is usually used to correct this situation. The commonly applied procedure is preferred by many women. The reasons that may cause breast sagging are generally as follows. The breasts are excessively large and gravity is effective. Sagging of the breasts may occur due to aging and frequent weight gain and loss. Sagging may occur due to breastfeeding after birth. Wrong bra use can cause sagging. Sagging in the breasts can also be seen due to the discharge of the milk glands in the skin due to age-related reasons. For these reasons, sagging can be seen in the breasts. In women with these reasons, breasts can be returned to their former form by performing breast lift surgery in line with the request.
What Should Be Considered After Breast Lift Surgery?
One of the most frequently asked questions of women who want to have breast lift surgery is the process after the surgery is performed. This process may vary depending on which method is used in general. Some items to be considered after the procedure are as follows.
- A sports bra should be worn for approximately 4 weeks, this bra will allow the patient to suffer less pain.
- Sutures can be removed after 15 days.
- The drains used 24 to 48 hours after the operation are removed.
- The patient can take a shower 1-2 days after the drains are removed.
What are the problems that may occur in breast lift surgery?
As with any surgical operation, problems may occur in breast lift surgery. However, these problems cannot be very risky and damaging risks. Some of these risks can be as follows.
- There may be bleeding, blood loss, blood accumulation in the tissue during or after the operation.
- Wound healing may be delayed. And scars may remain in the wound area. These symptoms can generally be seen in diabetics and patients who consume a lot of cigarettes.
- If the treatment process is not followed regularly, conditions such as infection, inflammation, wound opening and suture opening may occur. However, such situations can be prevented by intervening in a short time.
- It may be possible for the fat tissue to break down and melt after surgery. This may cause pain and burning sensation.
- Breastfeeding after surgery may vary depending on the technique used in the operation and the sagging condition of the breast.
- Since the recovery process may take a long time after the operation, it may not be adapted to social life.
- There may be a risk of sagging again under some conditions after surgery.
- If birth is given after the operation, sagging may occur due to the breastfeeding period.
- Sagging may occur again in sudden weight changes. This procedure is generally recommended for people who do not plan to give birth after the procedure and do not experience sudden weight changes.
- In the breast lift operation, since only the skin under the nipple will be treated, no change will be seen in the cracks in the upper region. However, a separate operation can be organised for these cracks.
