Hello everyone,

Today, we will explore breast lift surgery, a procedure designed to restore a firm and youthful breast contour, addressing sagging breasts caused by aging, childbirth, or significant weight fluctuations.

Self-Diagnosing Sagging Breasts

Sagging breasts are typically assessed based on the position of the nipples relative to the breast crease. Ideally, the nipples should be positioned 4–5 cm above the breast crease at a 45-degree angle. If the nipples are significantly lower than this, a breast lift procedure may be necessary.

Surgical Methods for Different Cases of Sagging Breasts

CASE 1: Small and Slightly Sagging Breasts
If the sagging is not severe, breast augmentation with implants can improve the sagging.

CASE 2: Severely Sagging Breasts
For severe sagging, a combination of breast augmentation with implants and a breast lift is recommended to create a firm and youthful breast contour.

CASE 3: Large and Severely Sagging Breasts
In cases where the breasts are both large and sagging significantly, a combination of breast reduction and breast lift is the most effective approach.

The dual-plane technique, a method for inserting implants during breast lift surgery, involves partially cutting the pectoralis major muscle. This technique places the upper part of the implant under the chest muscle and the lower part under the muscle fascia. By positioning the implant in two different planes—above and below the muscle—it creates a more natural lower breast contour and feel, resulting in a satisfying outcome. This method also has the advantages of reducing the foreign body sensation and minimizing complications such as upper breast bulging and capsular contracture.

Breast lift surgery, which uses your own breast tissue instead of implants, enhances the firmness and volume of the breasts. Depending on the size and degree of sagging, the procedure is performed using periareolar incisions, vertical incisions, or inverted T-shaped incisions to achieve the best results.

Periareolar Incision Method

This method involves making an incision around the areola, removing excess skin and glandular tissue, and then securing the remaining tissue to the chest muscle to correct sagging breasts.

Vertical Incision Method
This method, suitable for most cases regardless of breast size, involves making a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease. It removes sagging skin and fatty tissue. Due to the complexity of the surgery, it requires an experienced surgeon to minimize scarring and reduce the likelihood of complications.

Inverted T Incision Method
This method involves making an incision around the areola and extending it downwards and along the breast crease in an “inverted T” shape. It is effective for significantly large and severely sagging breasts with substantial reduction in volume. This technique removes a large amount of glandular tissue and skin, lifting the downward-pointing nipples to a higher position.

The MentoBoost breast implants are advantageous for sagging breasts, as they naturally fill out the upper part of the breast with a firm shape.

By comparing the most protruding point (referred to as the Maximum Median Projection, MMP) among Mento implants, you can see that MentoBoost has the most ideal shape. It is designed to ensure that the nipple stays more stable compared to other products.

For patients with reduced skin elasticity who are dissatisfied with their breast shape, MentoBoost is designed to create a shape similar to that of youthful female breasts.

When lying down or standing, the highest projection point naturally shifts with movement, ensuring a stable shape and natural movement.

In addition to MentoBoost, Our Plastic Surgery Clinic offers a variety of implants, including MentoClassic, MentoExtra, and Motiva.

<Systematic Consultation System Before Surgery>

  1. Create a personalized checklist before consultation.

  2. 3D Breast Simulation System for Highly Accurate Results:
    Before surgery, a 3D breast simulation allows you to compare different implant types, sizes, and volumes (cc) for each breast, ensuring the best fit for your body shape. You can preview the expected post-surgery appearance in advance.

  3. Comprehensive Examination System at University Hospital Level:
    The clinic is equipped with an examination center, allowing for detailed heart exams, blood tests, and ultrasound scans before surgery, as well as breast ultrasound examinations after surgery.

<Unlimited Post-Surgery Care> 

To ensure a smooth recovery after breast surgery, the clinic offers a comprehensive post-care program to prevent capsular contracture, using techniques like Ultrasound, Far-Infrared Radiation, Highlight Therapy, and Heuter Laser. You can receive unlimited care with the Highlight Therapy after completing the 5-step post-care program.
