What is Breast Lift Surgery Following Childbirth
The breasts start to sag because the elastic fibers inside the breast, that maintain the breast tissue and skin, weaken due to pregnancy, childbirth and aging. In this case, we can simultaneously correct the sagging in the breasts (breast ptosis) and loss of volume to restore the breasts to being perky, elastic and voluminous, through breast lift surgery following childbirth.
Diagnostic method for breast ptosis
If the nipples are level with the inframammary fold or within 1cm below it, it is possible to correct this by inserting a prosthesis.
If the nipples are 1-3cm below the inframammary fold, it is possible to correct this by repositioning the nipple-areolar complex and inserting a prosthesis. It is more effective with the addition of fat grafting.
In the case of severe ptosis where the nipples are more than 3cm below the inframammary fold, it is possible to correct this by repositioning the nipple-areolar complex and inserting a prosthesis. It is more effective with the addition of fat grafting.
