Breast Lift
Especially in breasts that enlarge due to lactation after birth, breast volume decreases after the end of the milk cycle. Usually, the skin cannot adapt to this shrinkage, and when it becomes too large, the breast and nipple sag downwards. In some patients, the shrinkage of the breast tissue as a result of losing too much weight may have the same result.
What is Breast Lift?
Although breast lift surgery does not have a significant problem with the size of the breast, it includes operations performed to recover the sagging breast. There are various factors that cause sagging of the breast. Factors such as breastfeeding, weight gain, aging and gravity cause a sagging breast in women over time. In addition, if skin elasticity is lost, the shape of the chest changes and sagging continues. Breast lift surgeries are operations performed to reduce or eliminate these problems.

However, these incision scars are not permanent. After the operation, the skin tissue begins to repair itself; accordingly, the incision scars gradually disappear. Eventually, the incision scars completely take on the skin color. It takes about 3 months for the incision scars to completely disappear.
