The Plastic Surgery Of Breast Lifting

The breast lifting operation is a plastic surgery that is also known as mastopexy and breast steeping surgery.

THE BREAST AESTHETIC AND THE BREAST LIFTING OPERATION
Look at your breast in the mirror. If your nipples are above the line of the folding part that means everything is all right. However, if it is at this level you have light breast pendency, if it is below it you have high level breast pendency. This shows that you may need a breast lifting operation. Especially the nipples that face down, shows the seriousness of the situation.

WHO SHOULD UNDERGO THIS OPERATION
In fact, this surgery can be considered as transforming a problem (pendency) into another (scar). Therefore this surgery might not be convenient for everybody. If the pendency is at medium level and you think that you will be seriously bothered by the signs do not undergo this surgery. But if you have breasts that is drooped excessively and if you think that nothing can be worse than that this surgery is appropriate for you. After the surgery you will have breasts which are upright, shapely and in the size that you desired.
It is a very personal topic that how much the scars would disturb you. In my observation, my patients do not make it a problem as I estimated. Because I perform this operation to the patients that I eliminated there has been no patient who is unhappy by those scars. But it is important to remember that this surgery leaves more scars and it is relevant to the factors of treating of the patient that how much the scar is distinctive.

COMPLICATIONS AND PROBLEMS THAT CAN OCCUR
The leading problems are the infection and bleeding. There is almost no risk of serious bleeding in this surgery. The bleeding may emerge in a part of the breast as blood accumulation namely hematom. Your doctor may desire to make you undergo the surgery again and clean this accumulation or stop bleeding if it continues.
A tumescence which is on one side for 5 days may be the sign of an infection. The solution the healer will be again to clean the infection and treatment with antibiotics.
Even it is seldom, the loss of complexion would be among the complications that may emerge. It usually appears on the patients that smoke after the surgery. Particularly, the risk increases when big breasts are reduced. Skin takes a shape which is black and hard and it may need to apply dressing for a ling time. One of the ways to reduce this period is to clean the dead skin. The same skin problem can appear on the nipple. After dressing the wound, it gets cured beyond the estimations. Never start to smoke just because you think nothing happens. Remember that the first two weeks is important after the surgery. The problems of wound to recover are because of the thick sutures. They usually recover after applying dressing for them.

Aesthetic problems: Asymmetry is one of the problems that can occur after the surgery. It might be necessary to perform a retouching operation after serious asymmetries. There is always a possibility for you of not liking the shape after this surgery. In this case also you have a second operation chance. Usually it is easy to fix the asymmetries. The hardest deformation is to fix the nipples that are made excessively upturned. In plastic surgery of breast it is easy to lift the breasts but it is hard to make them droop.

TIPS

Look in the mirror and determine how much your breasts drooped. If your nipples are below the line of folding you are a candidate of the surgery.
