Breast Lift Correction After Breastfeeding: Because You’re a Woman Before You’re a Mom

 

The name “mom” is overwhelming just to hear, and even just to call out.

As beautiful as that name is, it is also a role that comes with responsibility.

After becoming a mother, I think everyone shares the same wish that their child will grow up healthy.

Because of that, many people go ahead with breastfeeding without considering what happens afterward, since breast milk is said to be good for babies.

It may be good for the child, but if breastfeeding continues for a long time, after breastfeeding the upper breast volume decreases and becomes thinner,

and the shape changes from round to oval, making the breasts look more drooped and sagged.

Because of this, clothes may not fit well and confidence can drop, so for breast lift correction,

many people try wearing shapewear or applying breast creams,

but since these cannot be a fundamental solution, many people feel stressed.

Because there is a desire to be a woman before being a mother, many people look into breast lift correction after breastfeeding.

In addition to this reason, today I would like to tell you about breast ptosis surgery for many people who are worried about sagging breasts.

  It is important to proceed with breast lift correction using different surgical strategies depending on each breast type.

First, for small, sagging breasts of A cup or smaller, with symptoms such as a sharp decrease in size and elasticity after breastfeeding, aging, or sagging and drooping breasts,

we help correct sagging breasts with augmentation-mastopexy.

For sagging breasts of B cup to C cup, with symptoms such as breasts that hang down when removing underwear, neck, shoulder, and back pain, and eczema under the breasts,

we correct them with a sagging breast correction procedure.

For large, sagging breasts of D cup or larger, with symptoms such as being unable to wear off-the-rack underwear, bra marks that remain for a long time, neck, shoulder, and back pain, and eczema under the breasts,

we correct sagging breasts with breast reduction surgery.

You may be wondering whether sagging breast surgery and breast reduction surgery are different. These two surgeries are largely the same procedure. However, because we explain the surgery according to the patient’s wishes, we divide them into two different procedures for explanation.

To put it simply, if you are not dissatisfied with breast volume but want improvement in shape, we recommend choosing sagging breast surgery. If you want the breasts to become smaller because the volume is too large, we recommend choosing breast reduction surgery; even with breast reduction surgery, the sagging shape is fundamentally improved.

Because the breast area is a place where femininity is especially visible, many people worry about scars. The first and most important part of scar treatment is prevention. At our clinic, we make every effort to keep scar length as minimal as possible.

Traditionally, when correcting sagging breasts, the surgery was performed using an anchor-shaped incision, and this left many scars. At our clinic, we use only the periareolar incision method, which makes the scar remain only around the areola, or the vertical incision method, which gives a better postoperative shape than a periareolar incision, can effectively raise the nipple position, and leaves scars about 20 to 30 cm shorter than the anchor-shaped incision method.

In addition, during surgery we use special sutures and inject Botox to do our best to prevent scars. After surgery, we provide taping and basic laser treatment for scar management, and if the scar becomes prominent, we actively provide additional laser treatment, injection treatment, medication treatment, and treatment using silicone sheets. We also operate a scar clinic so these treatments can be carried out smoothly.

Many people may also be worried about pain. You may have heard many times that breast surgery is very painful, but in fact, after surgery, many patients say it is much better than they expected.

Also, to minimize patient pain, we perform the surgery carefully so as not to damage the breast nerves, and before finishing the operation, we inject a special anesthetic that lasts 8 to 12 hours around the breast nerves in an effort to reduce pain immediately after surgery.

You may be worried because there have been many news articles recently about the risks of surgery. However, breast lift correction is not a more dangerous surgery than other procedures. In addition, for the safety of surgical patients, our clinic uses heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring, an air warmer to maintain body temperature, and not only has a defibrillator and emergency medications on hand, but also has a dedicated operating room nurse for breast surgery and has established an emergency system with a university hospital, so we are thoroughly prepared for even unexpected situations.

For a successful outcome of breast lift correction after breastfeeding, it is necessary to check proper examinations, a surgical plan, and a trustworthy medical team.

At our clinic, based on ultrasound and imaging to assess the current condition and structure, Director Kim Jae-woo, a board-certified plastic surgeon dedicated to breast surgery, provides individual consultations, customized surgery, and recovery management.
