Breast Lift Prosthesis
If you’re looking to lift your breasts and give them a more youthful appearance, a breast lift prosthesis is a great option. Dr. Erman Ak, a plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery specialist, has a lot of experience with this procedure. Whether you’ve had a baby or lost a lot of weight, Dr. Ak can help you get a more youthful look both physically and mentally. In this introduction, we’ll dive into what a breast lift is and how it’s done.
What is a Breast Lift Prosthesis?
Breast Lift Prosthesis Description
A breast lift prosthesis is a surgical procedure that gives a fuller and lifted appearance to breasts that have sagged or lost volume. This procedure is usually performed using prostheses such as silicone or saline, which lift and reshape the breast tissue.
Differences Between Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation
A breast lift is all about lifting the breasts and giving them a firmer look. A breast augmentation is about increasing breast volume. The breast lift prosthesis combines these two procedures, lifting and volumizing the breasts. This makes the breasts more upright and fuller.
Prosthesis Options and Advantages
The prostheses used in breast lift procedures vary depending on the patient’s body structure and aesthetic expectations. While silicone prostheses offer a more natural feeling and appearance, saline prostheses can be preferred because the amount of implant can be adjusted. Both types of prostheses offer long-lasting solutions and increase patient satisfaction.
When it comes to breast lift prosthesis surgeries, Dr. Erman Ak puts together a custom treatment plan for each patient. He offers the best prosthesis option for their physical characteristics and aesthetic goals. This personalized approach helps each patient achieve their unique beauty goals.
Suitable Candidates for Breast Lift Prosthesis
Who is Suitable for Breast Lift Prosthesis Surgery?
If you’re looking for the best results, a breast lift prosthesis is a great option. It’s ideal for people who meet the following criteria:
- Those with Significant Breast Sagging: Women with sagging breasts, especially after childbirth, breastfeeding or significant weight loss, are suitable candidates for this procedure.
- Those with Sufficient Skin Elasticity: People who have largely preserved the natural elasticity of the skin achieve better results after surgery. Skin elasticity helps the skin to adapt to its new shape after the operation.
- Those with Good General Health Status: For a successful surgical procedure and fast recovery, candidates should be in good general health. Those with chronic health problems may have a higher risk for this surgery.
- Those with Realistic Expectations: Breast lift prosthesis surgery can improve the appearance of the breast, but it does not guarantee a perfect result. It is important that candidates have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.
- Those to Follow Postoperative Instructions: The recovery process and results vary depending on how well the patient follows the postoperative care instructions. These instructions must be followed carefully to reduce the risk of infection and to achieve the best outcome.
Dr. Erman Ak takes a careful look at each patient’s needs and does a full pre-assessment to figure out if breast lift implant surgery is right for each candidate. This process is really important to make sure the patient is happy with the results of the surgery.
How is Breast Lift Prosthesis Procedure Performed?
Preoperative Preparation
Before breast lift prosthesis surgery, Dr. Erman Ak meets with his patients to go over the details. They talk about the patient’s medical history, what they hope to achieve, and any potential risks. They also discuss surgical planning and prosthesis selection.
Anesthesia
A breast lift prosthesis is usually done under general anesthesia. This way, the patient doesn’t feel any pain and is comfortable during the surgery.
Surgical Procedure
The surgery starts with making the cuts needed to lift and reshape the breast tissue. Dr. Erman Ak makes the cuts as inconspicuous as possible. The implants are placed in the right spots to give the breasts a fuller and more natural look. If needed, excess skin is removed and the breast is reshaped.
Stitching and Finishing
Once the surgery is over, the incisions are closed using techniques that make the scars as unobtrusive as possible.
After Surgery
After surgery, patients usually go home the same day or the next. Dr. Erman Ak gives his patients detailed instructions on how to take care of themselves after surgery, which helps the healing process and reduces the risk of infection.
Breast lift prosthesis surgery is a pretty complex procedure. It requires the expertise and experience of Dr. Erman Ak. Each step is carefully planned and executed in accordance with the patient’s aesthetic goals and health and safety.
Recovery and Care After Breast Lift Prosthesis
Recovery Process
The recovery process for breast lift surgery varies depending on the patient’s general health and the extent of the surgery. Usually, patients can return to daily activities within a few days, but full recovery can take several weeks.
First 24-48 hours
The first 24-48 hours after surgery are usually the most critical period. Patients may often experience mild pain and discomfort during this time. Dr. Erman Ak provides the necessary prescriptions for pain management and makes recommendations to maximize patient comfort.
Stitches and Bandages
Stitches are usually removed about a week or two after surgery. Dr. Erman Ak checks in regularly to make sure everything is healing well and to catch any potential problems. Bandages are used to protect the operation area and support healing.
Activity Restrictions
It’s important to avoid heavy lifting, intense sports, and physically demanding activities during the recovery process. Dr. Erman Ak helps his patients decide when and which activities they can return to.
Long Term Care
It’s important to take care of your breasts after a breast lift to keep them looking their best and avoid any problems. Staying out of the sun, keeping up a healthy lifestyle, and getting regular check-ups will help your results last longer.
Sudden Symptoms and Emergency Situations
If you experience any sudden symptoms, such as signs of infection, severe pain, or abnormal swelling, please let Dr. Erman Ak know right away.

Risks and Considerations for Breast Lift Prosthesis
- Infection and Healing Problems: As with any surgical procedure, there’s a risk of infection. Dr. Erman Ak tries to reduce this risk by keeping the operation area sterile and applying antibiotic treatment when necessary. There may also be unexpected delays in the healing process.
- Anesthesia Risks: General anesthesia, although rare, carries some risks, especially in patients with heart or lung problems. The anesthesia team determines the most appropriate method of anesthesia based on the patient’s health condition.
- Asymmetry and Non-Aesthetic Results: After surgery, asymmetry between the breasts or dissatisfactory aesthetic results may occur. In such cases, a corrective operation may be required.
- Scarring: Surgical scars are inevitable, but Dr. Erman Ak carefully places the incisions so that the scars are as little visible as possible. Nevertheless, in some patients, scars may be more prominent.
- Sensory Changes: There may be temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the breast tissue or skin. This usually occurs when nerves are affected.
- Implant Problems: Implant-related complications such as silicone leakage and implant displacement may occur. Such cases may require additional surgical intervention.
- Long-Term Health Monitoring: Breast implants require long-term monitoring. The implant lifespan usually ranges between 10-15 years, during which time it may need to be replaced.
