Feeling sagginess and smallness in breasts

What to do if your previously beautiful breasts feel shriveled and depressed? Perhaps your breasts no longer feel like your own, or you may want a change for another reason. A breast lift alone is not enough, and enlarging the breasts is not the only way to get the best results. In this case, a two-stage operation may be the answer.

Time, age, and life slowly do their work, shaping the body and its owner. The body changes slowly but visibly. This also happens to the breasts. Over time, you may begin to feel that your breasts no longer feel like your own: they no longer have the same familiar size or appearance.

This problem, experienced by many, can be solved with surgery. The same old perkiness can be restored by lifting the breasts, and if desired, it is also possible to increase the size of the breasts. Larger breasts are often achieved by using silicone implants, but alternatively, the body's own fat can sometimes be used.

The two-stage operation requires a skilled surgeon

Breast lift and augmentation surgery is a very demanding operation. In the past, it was not uncommon for this operation to be performed in two separate stages: first a lift and then an augmentation, or vice versa. However, an experienced plastic surgeon can both enlarge and lift the breasts in a single operation.

When considering the size and shape of the implant, it is important to use discretion, as the aim is to achieve a natural result. You don't want the breasts express gloominess after the surgery, but you don't want them to be staring at the stars either. An experienced surgeon knows that raising the nipple to the right level requires the precision of a watchmaker.

Surgery performed under anaesthesia usually takes about 2-3 hours, and patients can usually go home the same evening. After surgery, it is essential to wear a support bra for 3-4 months so that the tissues can heal properly.

Sairaala KL is perhaps one of Finland's most experienced clinics in performing these types of surgeries. For more information about breast surgery, please contact Sairaala KL's appointment booking service.
