Dr. Burhan Demir's breast lift procedure is a cosmetic surgery designed for patients who wish to enhance the shape and appearance of their breasts. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to restore a youthful breast shape and boost their self-image and confidence, especially after changes caused by childbirth, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
A breast lift can be performed on its own or in combination with breast augmentation or breast reduction, depending on the patient's needs. For larger breasts, the procedure involves removing excess skin and breast tissue, while repositioning the nipple to a more natural, youthful height. In cases where the breasts are smaller, silicone implants (prostheses) may be used to achieve the desired volume and shape. This tailored approach ensures that each patient achieves a result that aligns with their aesthetic goals and body proportions.
Ideal Candidates
Dr. Burhan Demir explains that ideal candidates for a breast lift include individuals with large breasts that begin to negatively impact their quality of life. Additionally, patients who experience sagging breast tissue and a loss of self-confidence in social situations are also good candidates for this procedure. However, it's important to note that there is an age restriction for this surgery; only patients who are 18 years or older are eligible to undergo the procedure.
What is the procedure for performing a breast lift?
Dr. Burhan Demir performs the breast lift procedure under general anesthesia, which typically takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. During the surgery, excess breast tissue is first removed and sent to the pathology department for examination to check for any potential issues. Next, the breasts are reshaped by removing additional excess tissue and skin to enhance their contour. Finally, the nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural, aesthetically pleasing height.
When will you be able to resume normal activities?
Patients are typically monitored for one night after surgery and can return to daily life after the drains are removed on the third day.
Scars
Dr. Demir states that the appearance and location of scars depend on the surgical technique used. Scarring may occur around the areola and extend vertically down to the breast crease, or it may involve an additional horizontal incision along the breast crease. The specific approach used will be determined based on the individual patient's needs and the chosen technique.
What factors determine the type of scars?
The type and placement of scars are determined by the surgical technique used and the size of the breast. Regardless of the technique, scars are an inevitable part of the surgery. Over time, these scars typically become less noticeable, especially as patients achieve their desired results and address issues like excess weight.
Does Breastfeeding Pose any Risk Following Breast Lift Surgery?
Since breast tissue is removed during breast reduction surgery, the breast size is reduced, which can lead to a decrease in milk production. However, the surgery itself does not affect the ability to breastfeed. Women can still breastfeed during the recovery period, although the amount of milk produced might be reduced.
Healing Period
Most patients can return to their normal activities after one week of rest..
