Breast Lift Surgery \/ Mastopexy in Bangkok, Thailand<\/h3>\n
A woman\u2019s breast profile often changes shape, size, or ptosis. Losing skin elasticity and firmness leads to breast ptosis. A breast lift or Mastopexy is a surgical procedure to lift, reshape, and tighten the breasts. Sometimes, the areola becomes too oversized. The surgeon will reduce the balance during the same operation. A breast lift cannot make the upper part of the breast look fuller.<\/p>\n
In some cases, they need breast augmentation with a breast lift. In some cases, the breast size is too big compared to the body. The patients require breast reduction surgery with a breast lift.<\/p>\n

After opening the incision, the breast tissue is lifted and adjusted in shape. The nipples and areolas are moved up to a natural look. If the patient has enlarged areolas, they are reduced by excising the skin. The excess breast tissue and skin are removed to tighten.<\/li>\n
Suture tissue is used to create the breast shape by absorbable sutures, followed by skin sutures or medical tape to close the skin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

\n
Recovery after breast lift with the O-scar. The patients feel mild discomfort for a few days but can return to work within a few days.<\/li>\n
Recovery after a breast lift with a keyhole scar or Inverted T scar may take more time, maybe 4-5 days. The discomfort symptoms include Pain, stiffness, swelling, and bruising. It may take several weeks or months to settle the final result, such as numbness or\u00a0tingling around the incision.<\/li>\n
Recovery after breast implant replacement with lifting: The recovery time will take more time due to discomfort. The patient can return to work in maybe one week. The patients need to wear a compression bra to support them, improve swelling, excrete seroma, and maintain their positioning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
