Breast Ptosis Correction

This procedure improves sagging breasts caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and aging, according to the degree of ptosis (Breast Ptosis Correction grades 1–3), through implant Breast Augmentation or a combination of ptosis correction and implant augmentation. Considering breast shape, degree of reduction, and scars comprehensively, the appropriate method is selected from periareolar, vertical, or inverted-T incisions, while also correcting the position of the areola and nipple.

Recommended for the Following

· Those with sagging breasts due to pregnancy and breastfeeding · Those who have lost breast volume after breastfeeding · Those whose nipples are positioned below the inframammary fold · Those with small, sagging breasts or excessively large, sagging breasts · Those who had naturally small breasts that became more severe after childbirth

Sagging breast surgery is a highly complex procedure that requires comprehensive consideration of breast shape, degree of reduction, and scars, so its approach must differ from that of general Breast Augmentation. View Plastic Surgery thoroughly assesses each individual's condition and proposes a personalized one-on-one solution.

Self-Assessment for Breast Ptosis

The degree of ptosis can be self-assessed by measuring the distance from the inframammary fold to the nipple. · Normal breast: The nipple is positioned approximately 4–5 cm above the inframammary fold · Grade 1: The nipple is within 1 cm of the inframammary fold · Grade 2: The nipple is 1–3 cm below the inframammary fold · Grade 3: The nipple is more than 3 cm below the inframammary fold

Features of View Sagging Breast Surgery

Point 1. Firm, Beautiful Breasts

Rather than simply restoring the original breast shape, we correct the breasts to create a firm and beautiful appearance.

Point 2. Natural Breast Shape

You can expect a natural shape, feel, and contour as though they were your own original breasts.

Point 3. Areolar and Nipple Position Correction

Improving the position of the areola and nipple also provides a breast correction effect.

Point 4. Care That Reduces Concerns About Scars

Close care by specialized staff and medical professionals minimizes scars that may occur after surgery.

Point 5. Childbirth and Breastfeeding Are Possible

Because the procedure is performed to avoid damaging mammary tissue, it does not interfere with future plans for childbirth or breastfeeding.

Surgical Methods According to Degree of Ptosis

Solution 1. Implant Breast Augmentation (Grade 1–2 Breast Ptosis Correction)

For breasts that are small and lack firmness but are not severely sagging, an implant suited to the individual's characteristics is inserted to increase size and create a beautiful contour by improving shape and symmetry.

Solution 2. Ptosis Correction + Implant Breast Augmentation (Grade 3 or Higher Breast Ptosis Correction)

For severe sagging with stretched and deflated breasts, ptosis correction removes stretched tissue to improve sagging, while implants increase volume to create a firm breast contour.

Sagging Breast Surgery Incisional Methods

01. Periareolar Incisional Method

· Suitable when the breasts are not very large and only slightly sagging · The incision around the areola leaves scars that are barely visible · Minimal loss of nipple sensation and shorter surgery time · Limited amount of reduction possible

02. Vertical Incision

· A commonly performed method that provides the best postoperative shape · A vertical incision from the nipple to the inframammary fold · Nipple sensation can be preserved · Allows a relatively large reduction and can create an attractive contour

03. Inverted-T Incisional Method

· An incision extending from the areola to the inframammary fold · Suitable for large breasts or severe ptosis · Excess skin is reduced, allowing both the breasts and nipples to be lifted · Provides the greatest lifting effect and allows nipple position correction
