What is Postpartum Breast Surgery?
We will revitalize the breast to become the beautiful breasts you once had. The standard of sagging breast (Mastopexy) is when the nipples are located inferior to the lower breast line. Depending on the degree of sagging, the breasts can be corrected with a procedure or surgery.
Cause of Postpartum Breast
A
Decrease of elasticity due to aging
B
Breasts hang loose due to constant childbirth and breastfeeding
C
Droopy or small breast due to breastfeeding
D
Drastic weight gain due to pregnancy
E
Effects from number of pregnancy
Diagnosis of Postpartum Breast
The degree of debilitated breast can be distinguished by the nipple location from the lower breast line.
Ideal breasts are when the nipples are 4~5cm higher that the breast line, and it should be corrected when it's lower than the breast line.
Normal
4~5cm higher than the breast line
A-Rank Mastopexy
Nipples are within 1cm lower than the breast line
B-Rank Mastopexy
Nipples are within 1~3cm lower than the breast line
C-Rank Mastopexy
Nipples are more than 3cm lower than the breast line
Correction Method of Debilitated Breast
Prothesis Insertion
Embed the implant and augment the suspended breast with volume. Most applicable when the breast is little declined.
Incision Around the Areola
The size does not change but the pendent breasts are corrected. The incision is made around the areola, the scar is small, the operation time is short, and recovery is fast.
Incision with Inverted-T
The incision is made around the areola with inverted-T. Most applicable when the breast has excessive fat and recession. Great amount of skin and connecting tissues are removed to escalate the nipples.
If you are considering cosmetic surgery, please consult with the professional surgeon about the possible side effects.
