It is often said that aesthetic standards change with the times. In the past, aesthetic standards were focused only on the face, but recently, as the emphasis has shifted toward overall body proportions, more and more people are thinking about how to improve their body line.

There are many elements that make up a body line, such as slender arms and legs and a slim waist, but for women, the part they are most concerned about is often the breasts. Because the breasts are a part that can express feminine charm, many people worry about them. In addition to volume, shape has also become increasingly important recently, so more people are considering how to proceed with lifting sagging breasts.

For those who want to lift sagging breasts, improvement is sought through breast ptosis surgery. For those people, today we would like to introduce the breast surgery at April 31.

If you have previously looked into methods of improvement, you may have seen two options: breast ptosis surgery and breast reduction surgery.

These two methods are similar in many respects, but because they are explained according to different concerns and hopes, they have been divided into two categories.

To put it simply, if you are not dissatisfied with volume but want to improve the shape, we recommend choosing breast ptosis surgery. If your breasts are large, you want them smaller, and you also want to improve the shape, we recommend choosing breast reduction surgery.

  Of course, there are various types beyond these as well, so it is necessary to proceed with a surgical strategy suited to the patient’s type.

For those who cannot wear off-the-shelf bras, have bra marks that remain for a long time, and suffer from neck, shoulder, and lower back pain as well as under-breast eczema, if they have large, sagging breasts of D cup size or larger, we proceed with breast reduction surgery as the strategy.

For those who worry about breasts that sag and droop when taking off their underwear, neck, shoulder, and lower back pain, and under-breast eczema, and who have sagging breasts from B cup to C cup size, we proceed with breast correction surgery as the strategy.

For those who are troubled by breasts that have suddenly lost size and elasticity due to aging or childbirth, and who have small, sagging breasts of A cup or smaller, we help improve them through a lifting procedure as the strategy.

In the past, the procedure was performed through a keyhole-shaped incision, so after surgery an inverted T-shaped scar remained below the nipple.

It was a method of improving sagging breasts by making an incision around the areola and from the nipple to the inframammary fold, and then removing glandular tissue, fat, and skin, but many people worried about scars because of the drawback of leaving a large scar. At our clinic, for those who have such concerns, we perform the procedure using only areolar incisions and vertical incisions to help reduce worries about scarring.

With an areolar incision, the scar is limited to the area around the areola, so after surgery the scar is hardly noticeable and the breast can be shaped naturally. With the vertical incision method, it is possible to effectively create a good conical shape and improve sagging, and compared with a keyhole-shaped incision, the scar length is about 20 to 30 cm shorter.

In addition, during surgery we use special suture material for closure, and we also inject Botox to do our best to help prevent scars, and we operate a scar care clinic that can provide management programs according to each scar condition.

In addition, many people are concerned about pain. To minimize the patient’s pain, we perform surgery carefully so as not to damage the breast nerves during the procedure, and before finishing the surgery we inject a special anesthetic that lasts about 8 to 12 hours around the breast nerves to help reduce pain immediately after surgery.

  You may also be wondering whether breastfeeding is possible after breast ptosis surgery.

At our clinic, we perform breast reduction surgery so that breastfeeding is possible afterward, and if the breasts are too large before surgery, there are cases where normal breastfeeding is not possible even without surgery, so we provide sufficient consultation on this point before surgery.

Also, for those who are troubled by postpartum sagging breasts, some people want surgery even though not much time has passed since giving birth. For such cases, it is better to proceed after taking medication to dry up the milk, and detailed explanations about the timing of surgery and medication use can be heard during the preoperative consultation.

  Safety is also something you may consider important.

At our clinic, there is not only a dedicated operating room nurse for breast surgery, but the surgery is also performed by a dedicated breast surgery medical team with many years of clinical experience in breast ptosis surgery.
