Breast Lift at KMB Hospital with Dr. Looknuu
Breast Lift – Restore Confidence in Your Figure Naturally
Breasts that were once firm and beautiful can change over time, whether as a result of increasing age, changes in body weight, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. These factors can cause the breasts to sag, lose their firmness, and may affect the confidence many women have in their figure.
What is a breast lift?
A breast lift (Mastopexy) is a cosmetic surgery to reshape sagging breasts so they become firm and well-proportioned again. The surgeon lifts the internal tissue, removes excess skin, and repositions the nipple and areola to be in proportion with the new breast, in order to achieve the most natural-looking result.
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 the nipple position: places the nipple in a naturally appropriate position
4. Boosts confidence: helps women feel better and more confident when dressing
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 suitable for breast lift surgery
- Those with sagging breasts due to age, weight, or breastfeeding
- Those with large areolas or nipples pointing below the breast level
- Those who feel unconfident in their clothing or figure
- Those who want to restore the balance and shape of their breasts after childbirth
Surgical techniques and types of incisions
The surgeon selects a technique appropriate to the degree of breast sagging, for example:
1. Periareolar Lift – an incision around the nipple, used in cases of 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 severe sagging
Although there is an incision, KMB's techniques help minimize the visibility of the scar, along with guidance on post-operative care to make the scar look as good as possible.
The surgical procedure
1. Consult a specialist surgeon: plan the surgery according to each person's physique and needs
2. Pre-operative physical examination: such as blood tests and X-rays, for safety
3. Perform the surgery: takes approximately 2–4 hours under general anesthesia
4. Recovery: stay at the hospital for 1–2 nights with close post-operative follow-up
Recovery and post-operative care
- Wear a support bra as advised for 4–6 weeks
- Avoid lifting heavy objects or straining the breast area
- Refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 1 month
- Take medications and dress the wound as advised by the doctor
- Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to monitor the results
Possible complications
Although it is a safe procedure, every type of surgery carries risks, such as:
- Visible scarring
- Numbness in the nipple or breast area
- Infection or hematoma
- Delayed wound healing
- Results not matching expectations, which may require additional corrective surgery
At KMB, we place importance on assessing and reducing risks through our team of expert doctors and comprehensive post-operative care.
