Breast Straightening

Mamma hanging downs and falls is one of the situations that mostly bother women. Aging, pregnancy, menopause, extreme weight losses and genetic grounds may be the cause. The upper part of the mamma/breast becomes flatter and indistinct; the lower part in turn hangs down. The skin of the breast loses its elasticity frequently and becomes weaker.

Look at your breasts in the mirror. If your nipples are above the breast folding line then there is no problem. If they are on this line it means you have a slight breast hang down and if they are lower than this line then you have serious breast hang down.

Particularly the nipples looking directly downward direction means a very severe situation.

Who does the breasts hang down? This may have many causes. The breast tissue decease happens due to the hormonal reasons originating from the aging. This results in emptying of the mamma and hanging down. The breasts of the nursing mothers also tend to hang down. When the breasts are full of milk, they enlarge and discharge with the nursing. When this process is repeated many times, the breasts naturally hang down. In addition, the gravity also pulls down the breasts and causes hanging down. The hanging down starts very early in some situations and originate from the weakness of the ligaments that carry the breasts.

May there be solutions that does not require an operation? Do not think that your breasts hang down due to the weakness of the breast muscles and that they may harden with sports. Anatomically, the breast muscles have not relation with the breast hanging down. You may have many improvements in your body with sports but mamma straightening is not of them.

Happy lifting (Attaching): Only for the suitable breast structures; we may enter from the small orifices, under local anesthesia and without any incision, then use special hang up threads for to have straightening. Toxin, on the other hand, has effects on much more limited patient group.

Operation: To reshape the breast, to remove the hanging down totally, to enlarge or shrink the breast; are all possible. I mostly prefer total anesthesia. If the breast hanging down is not so much and, also, if it is being wished to enlarge them, then the latest technology prostheses may accomplish straightening without many scars.

The incision marks on the nipple recover very well. Therefore, for the persons who have lesser hanging down and do not wish enlargement, we may hang up from the nipple and leave minimum scars possible. If the level of the hanging down increase some and ideal angled breasts are desired, a vertical very thin line may be seen from the nipple downwardly.

As you understand, many techniques may be used in breast straightening however the most suitable one for you will be finalized after the examination.

The operation is generally performed under total anesthesia and lasts about 1-2.5 hours. The patient may stay a day in the hospital or may be discharged on the same day.

Post operation: A special bra shall be used for about 4 weeks. The patient may return to her normal life after 5-7 days. A slight aching feeling may be felt in the breast however generally simple oral painkillers will be enough. The patient may drive car after 3-4 days particularly when the sensitivity in the arm movements gets lesser. The sports for which we use arms like fitness, tennis etc. may be started after 4-5 weeks. All the swollen areas will be lost in about 3 months and the shape will take its intended form. We recommend that the stitch lines should not be subjected to sunlight for 2 months after the operation.

Nursing: The nursing may not cause problems unless shrinking is not performed together with the straightening. This is because the breast tissues and channels are not harmed during the operation.

Low cut: If you want no difficulties in low-cut fashion and not to miss this summer, the winter is the most suitable season for the operation considering the recovery period.
