Breast Lift at KMB Hospital with Dr. Luknoo
Breast Lift – Naturally Restore Confidence in Your Figure
Breasts that were once firm and beautiful can change over time, whether due to increasing age, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. These factors can cause the breasts to sag and lose their firmness, which may affect the confidence many women have in their figure.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift (Mastopexy) is a cosmetic surgery that reshapes sagging breasts to make them firmer and more proportionate. The surgeon lifts the internal tissue, removes excess skin, and repositions the nipple and areola to be in proportion with the newly shaped breast, achieving the most natural-looking results possible.
Benefits of a Breast Lift
1. Restores breast shape: Makes the breasts firm and well-proportioned once again.
2. Improves breast balance: Corrects asymmetry in breast size or shape.
3. Lifts nipple position: Places the nipples in a natural, appropriate position.
4. Boosts confidence: Helps women feel better and more confident when getting dressed.
5. Reduces neck, shoulder, and back pain: For those with sagging or overly large breasts.
6. Reduces skin friction: Prevents irritation in the area beneath the breast fold.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery?
- Those with sagging breasts due to age, weight, or breastfeeding
- Those with large areolae or nipples pointing below the breast level
- Those who feel unconfident about their appearance or figure
- Those who want to restore the balance and shape of their breasts after childbirth
Surgical Techniques and Incision Types
The surgeon selects the technique best suited to the degree of breast sagging, such as:
1. Periareolar Lift – An incision around the nipple, used for mild sagging.
2. Vertical Lift – An incision around the nipple extending down to the base of the breast, suitable for moderate sagging.
3. Anchor Technique – A T-shaped or U-shaped incision, suitable for those with significant sagging.
Although there are incisions, KMB’s techniques help minimize the visibility of scars, along with guidance on post-operative care to make the scars as inconspicuous as possible.
The Surgical Procedure
1. Consultation with a specialist: Plan the surgery according to each individual’s anatomy and needs.
2. Pre-operative examination: Such as blood tests and X-rays for safety.
3. Performing the surgery: Takes approximately 2–4 hours under general anesthesia.
4. Recovery: A hospital stay of 1–2 nights, with close post-operative follow-up.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
- Wear a supportive bra as advised for 4–6 weeks
- Avoid lifting heavy objects or straining the chest area
- Refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 1 month
- Take medication and care for the incision as directed by the doctor
- Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled
Possible Complications
Although it is a safe procedure, all types of surgery carry risks, such as:
- Noticeable scarring
- Numbness around the nipple or breast
- Infection or hematoma
- Delayed wound healing
- Results not matching expectations, which may require additional corrective surgery
At KMB, we place great importance on assessing and minimizing risks through our team of specialist doctors and comprehensive post-operative care.
