Breast Ptosis Correction

This procedure corrects sagging breast (Breast Ptosis Correction) caused by aging, pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight changes, and other factors, according to the degree of ptosis. After assessing the stage of ptosis (Grades 1–3), the appropriate method is selected from Laser lifting, breast correction surgery (breast tissue lifting), combined Breast Reduction, or combined implant insertion.

Breast ptosis is a condition that occurs with aging and changes in body shape.

“Lifted to suit my body while preserving volume” As the degree of breast ptosis varies from person to person, it is important to assess it accurately and correct it properly.

Classification of Sagging Breast Severity

· Normal — The Nipple is above the inframammary fold · Grade 1 — The Breast is not large, and the Nipple has descended within approximately 1 cm below the inframammary fold · Grade 2 — The Breast has volume, but the Nipple has descended approximately 2–3 cm below the inframammary fold · Grade 3 — The Breast has no volume, and the Nipple has descended more than 3 cm below the inframammary fold

Surgical Methods

Velody Laser lifting

Applied when improving simple ptosis rather than Breast size. It strongly stimulates the dermal layer to regenerate collagen and elastin, lifting sagging breast.

Breast Correction Surgery

Applied when correcting ptosis without changing Breast size. Breast tissue is dissected into a conical shape, and the sagging skin and Areolar are lifted upward and secured. An Incisional method suited to the individual is selected.

Combined Breast Reduction

Applied when reducing Breast size while improving ptosis at the same time. Breast Reduction suited to the patient’s Breast is used to create an appropriate shape, followed by Breast correction surgery.

Combined Breast Augmentation

Applied when improving ptosis and creating a fuller Breast using an Implant. The desired Implant and Incisional method are selected through thorough consultation, and correction surgery is performed together when elasticity is significantly reduced.
