Do you have sagging or loose breasts as a result of pregnancy or losing a significant amount of weight? Are you prone to skin irritation due to sagging breasts? Are you bothered by the appearance of your breasts due to age-related volume loss? If this is the case, you may benefit from a breast lift procedure. This procedure restores the youthful appearance of your breasts by repositioning your skin, nipple, and areola. Aside from cosmetic concerns, there is a large body of clinical evidence that suggests a breast lift can help with a variety of health issues.

What Is a Breast Lift, Exactly?

A breast lift, also known as a "Mastopexy," is a surgical procedure that elevates your nipple and areola. It also addresses the saggy and droopy appearance of your breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the remaining breast tissues. The procedure may reduce the size of your areola if it is not proportionate to the size of your breasts.

Breast Lift Health and Medical Benefits

Breast Sagging Correction

The medical term for drooping or sagging breasts is breast ptosis. In addition to being a cosmetic concern, this condition can cause physical and emotional discomfort. Fortunately, a breast lift can help to alleviate this problem.

A study investigated the effects of breast lift on women with significant drooping in their breasts. Women who underwent a breast lift surgery between 2002 and 2016 were included in the study. Following surgery, patients were given a survey to evaluate the clinical outcome. The majority of patients reported not only an improvement in breast sagging but also a high level of satisfaction, according to the findings.

Another study looked at the effects of breast lift on women who had sagging breasts after having breast augmentation. A questionnaire was used to assess patient satisfaction four years after their surgery. According to the researchers, breast lift was found to be safe and to produce satisfactory long-term results. The majority of patients were pleased with the shape, size, and symmetry of their breasts.

A third study looked at the long-term effects of breast lift surgery on sagging breast patients. For this study, the researchers took standardized breast measurements as well as before-and-after photos of the patients. Following surgery, patients reported higher overall long-term satisfaction and increased upper pole fullness.

Higher Self-Esteem

Sagging breasts not only cause physical discomfort, but they also lower your self-esteem. Because of this breast condition, you may have fewer clothing options and may experience social isolation. A breast lift, according to research, can help you regain your self-esteem.

Researchers assessed the psychological well-being of patients undergoing cosmetic breast surgery in one study. A group of breast lift patients were asked to complete a 12-item short-form health survey four times: immediately after surgery, once, six months later, and once a year later. Researchers discovered that patients' self-esteem had increased during this time period. This was evidenced by a decrease in anxiety and depression symptoms.

Researchers discovered that 85.6 percent of patients' self-esteem improved after having consecutive breast lifts from 2002 to 2016. The researchers concluded that this improvement was associated with less breast sagging and a high level of patient satisfaction.

Another study investigated the psychological effects of different breast lift techniques on patients with sagging breasts. The researchers discovered that one month after their surgery, after reviewing the patient questionnaires and conducting in-person interviews, the patients' self-esteem had improved. The researchers concluded that this improvement was related to a high level of satisfaction and fewer physical discomforts following surgery.

Better Life Quality

Several convincing studies show that breast lift surgery can help patients improve their quality of life. This improvement can be attributed to a variety of factors, including body image.

Physical aches and pains have been alleviated.

As well as a boost in self-esteem.

A study compared the quality of life of patients who had breast enlargement with implants to those who had a breast lift. A 47-question survey was administered to both groups of patients to assess their quality of life following surgery. A return mail system then processed the responses and forwarded them to the authors. Both groups were pleased with the overall cosmetic result, including breast enlargement, volume, shape, scar, and symmetry.

A study evaluating the effects of the combination of breast augmentation and breast lift on patient quality of life discovered an improvement in various aspects of surgery. Patients were pleased with the symmetry correction, scar quality, breast shape, nipple/areola size, and overall result, according to the results of patient satisfaction surveys.

A study evaluating the effects of different breast lift techniques on patients with breast sagging found a significant improvement in various aspects of quality of life. Patients were asked six-category questions and were interviewed in person at least one month after their surgery.

During this time, the researchers assessed patient data, indications, recovery, results, complications, and psychological effects. Patients reported a high level of satisfaction, increased self-esteem, and a decrease in physical discomforts such as nipple numbness. People's quality of life has improved as a result.

Is a Breast Lift a good idea?

Your plastic surgeon will conduct a thorough health examination during your initial consultation to determine whether you are a good candidate for the surgery. This also allows your cosmetic surgeon to create a treatment plan that is specific to your cosmetic and health needs. In general, the surgery is recommended if you have large, heavy breasts. In this situation, many patients combine a breast lift and a breast reduction.
