Breast lift
Over the years, it’s common for breasts to lose tone and firmness, resulting in sagging due to age, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. While breast lift surgery doesn’t increase the size or fullness of the breasts, it tightens the skin, helping to slow the aging process. Additionally, the procedure can reduce the size of the areola, the darkly pigmented area around the nipple. Breast lift surgery is often combined with breast augmentation, especially for women who have experienced a loss of breast volume due to pregnancy or weight loss.
The breast lift operation takes place in the operating room under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. Afterward, patients are advised to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 nights for continuous monitoring. DaVINCI Clinic’s aesthetic surgeons perform the procedure by creating a thin scar around the nipple and extending down the lower part of the breast in the shape of an inverted “T.” The result is a lifted, firmer breast. Breast lift surgery can also be performed alongside other aesthetic procedures, such as breast augmentation with implants or fat transfer.
Pre-Operative Preparation
- On the day of your consultation with the surgeon, inform them if you are allergic to any medication and disclose any medications you are taking for health reasons that may impact the surgery.
- A few days before the surgery, you will undergo pre-operative examinations to give the medical staff insight into your health status before the operation.
- At least two weeks prior to surgery, stop taking medications containing Acetylsalicylic Acid (such as Aspirin, Vivin C, Cardiospirin, etc.) and oral anticoagulants. Always consult your prescribing doctor before discontinuing any therapy due to surgery.
- You must stop smoking at least two weeks before the procedure.
- The day before the surgery, take a shower, remove gel or nail polish, and refrain from eating or drinking at least eight hours before the intervention.
- We recommend wearing comfortable clothes with buttons or zippers on the day of surgery.
After the operation
Immediately after breast lift surgery, it is normal to experience chest pain. Our doctors will help manage this discomfort by recommending appropriate painkillers. In the first week following the surgery, the surgeon will prescribe medications to minimize the risk of post-operative complications. The medical staff will also provide you with suitable surgical dressings to wear during your recovery. Swelling and discomfort in the chest area are typical for the first 2 to 3 weeks.
The marks from the breast lift surgery will appear red for the first six months. Over time, they will gradually fade and blend with your natural skin color. Most office workers can return to work as early as one week after the procedure. The final results of the breast lift are usually visible after six months and remain stable over time.
