Many changes occur in the breasts with age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations, often leading them to become less firm and elastic. This results in sagging skin and drooping breasts.

A breast lift surgery helps reduce sagging and elevate the position of the nipples. It can also reduce the size of the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipples) to maintain proportion with the new breast shape, giving them a more youthful appearance.

This procedure is relatively simple and can be performed with or without silicone implants. Many women may choose to combine a breast lift with a tummy tuck surgery.

Pregnancy can still cause stretching and sagging of the breasts even after the procedure, so if you are planning to become pregnant in the future, it is advisable to postpone breast lift surgery.

Brief Overview of Breast Lift Surgery:
Before the procedure, the shape of the breasts before and after surgery, as well as the goals, are discussed. During the procedure, the surgeon usually makes surgical incisions around the nipple, vertically under the nipple, and sometimes horizontally in breast creases.
Some breast tissue and skin are removed, reshaping the breast tissue's coherence, and repositioning the nipple and areola. Finally, the surgeon stitches the skin using dissolvable sutures.

In most cases, patients may feel discomfort in the breast area during the first 24 to 48 hours, and some swelling in breast tissues always occurs but usually subsides within a month after surgery.
