Breast Ptosis Correction

Breast lift is a procedure that corrects Sagging breast caused by childbirth, aging, weight loss, and other factors, according to the degree of ptosis. Mild ptosis or pseudoptosis can be improved with Implant augmentation, while Grade 3 or greater ptosis or significant excess skin may require removal of skin using a Periareolar incision, Vertical Incision, or anchor incision, followed by fixation of the Breast tissue to the chest wall.

Recommended for These Individuals

· Those with sagging breasts after pregnancy and childbirth · Those whose breast elasticity has decreased and breast tissue has become lax due to aging · Those who have lost breast elasticity after weight loss · Those concerned about overall volume loss and sagging

Sagging Breast Self-Assessment

The degree of Breast ptosis is assessed based on Nipple position relative to the inframammary fold. If the Nipple is below the ideal range, a Breast lift may be considered. · Normal – Nipple is 4–5 cm above the inframammary fold · Grade 1 – Nipple is within 1 cm of the inframammary fold · Grade 2 – Nipple is 1–3 cm below the inframammary fold · Grade 3 – Nipple is more than 3 cm below the inframammary fold; severe ptosis · Pseudoptosis – Nipple position is normal, but Mammary tissue has descended · Other – Other distinctive or unsatisfactory breast shapes

Surgical Methods

Method 1. Breast Augmentation Using Implants

Mild ptosis or pseudoptosis can be improved with Implant Breast Augmentation, enhancing overall volume and shape at the same time.

Method 2. Breast Lift

This procedure is performed when there is substantial excess sagging skin, Grade 3 or greater ptosis, or sagging due to large breasts. An incision method appropriate for the breast condition is selected, and the Breast tissue is dissected into a cone shape and securely fixed to the chest wall. If volume is insufficient, Implant insertion and a Lift can be performed together.

STEP 1. Select the Most Appropriate Incision Method

Choose among a Periareolar incision, Vertical Incision, and anchor incision.
