Mastopexy (Breast Lifting) Q&A

Q. Is it possible to get breast lifting with an implant ?


- Breast lifting is a very simple concept of moving the position of breasts.
As for a breast implant, It doesn't have anything to do with the position of the breast.
Implant helps to volumize the sunken area of the breast.
If you think that your breast is sagging and sunken with no volume at the same time,
you should get lifting together with an implant.


However, in a case where the breast has good volume but is sagging or dropping,
then it's recommended to do just breast lifting without an implant.


Q. Is there a case when the areola & nipples go numb after breast lifting ?


- Sensory loss of areola & nipples and breast lifting surgeries are
actually two different issues.
In the case of breast augmentation,
the nerves get a bit affected as the pocket is stretched with the insertion of an implant.
And thus, the possibility of a temporary sensory loss of the areola & nipples is around 7%.

Q. How different is the surgery method of breast lifting ?

- The surgery method varies depending on the severity of sagging.
In the position of the areola, the nipples are around 2cm lower than their original position,
then lifting can be done with the crescent incision method or donut incision method.



However, if the sagging is more than 2cm, the breast can be lifted back to its original position through a vertical incision which many people also called it a "lollipop" incision.


Q. Is a compression bra a must-wear after breast lifting ?

- Compression bra is recommended to wear after having breast surgery with an implant.
So when doing breast lifting, you should wear it if you got lifting accompanied by an implant but no need to wear it if you did only breast lifting without an implant.

Q. What is the surgery method for nipple reduction ?


- Nipple reduction is performed for people who experienced nipples drooping
and Its skin sags after breastfeeding or due to aging.
The surgery method is to remove a part of the nipple's tissues alongside
some parts of the sagging skin to make the nipples back to their original size of about 1cm.
