[NOTE Plastic Surgery] Sagging Breasts After Childbirth: What Are the Improvement Methods?

Women undergo major physical changes through pregnancy and childbirth.

The breasts are one of the areas that are especially affected,

and when childbirth occurs, the mammary glands and blood vessels expand significantly and then shrink,

causing the stretched breast skin to sag.

Through these changes, most women lose confidence.

In addition, when breastfeeding begins, the volume of the upper breast decreases,

and the shape changes along with the sagging of the skin.

Perhaps that is why many women visit NOTE Plastic Surgery to improve sagging breasts.

So today, with Dr. Kim Juwon of the Breast Center at NOTE Plastic Surgery, we will take a look at breast surgery for sagging breasts after childbirth.

First,

the surgical method for sagging breasts changes depending on the degree of sagging,

so it is important to determine the extent of the condition.

For grades 1 to 2 in the photo above,

the breast size can be increased with implant insertion without a lift procedure,

and the shape and symmetry can be adjusted

to improve the breast line beautifully.

However, if the sagging is grade 3 or higher,

the stretched tissue is removed to correct the sagging,

and volume is increased with implant insertion

to create a firm breast line.

Then, what surgical methods are available for improving sagging breasts?

As with breast augmentation surgery,

lift surgery also differs depending on the incision site.

Lift surgery for sagging breasts

should be determined through a long consultation with the surgeon,

while considering and discussing various conditions

to decide on the surgical method.

If you are considering surgery because of breast sagging

after childbirth or after severe dieting,

we encourage you to visit NOTE Plastic Surgery at any time

and receive a consultation in a more comfortable setting.
