  • The Difference Between a Breast Lift and a Breast Reduction

    The Difference Between a Breast Lift and a Breast Reduction

    Breast reduction and breast lift due to the advanced techniques provided by cosmetic medicine and the highly experienced and skilled surgeons have gained great popularity among the public recently, not only breasts but also various aesthetic body problems that worsen with age or as a result of any other factor could be easily and safely performed even in the outpatient settings. Both breast reduction and breast tightening share the same aim, however, they are two different synonyms.

    Breasts account for a large proportion of the female body’s external beauty and that’s why breast plastic surgeries acquired great demand among women seeking attractive, feminine, and youthful looks.

    The concept of Breast reduction

    Plastic surgeon, Dr. Yasser Badi, provided a brief overview of the surgical reduction of breast size and emphasized that this cosmetic procedure mainly targets large breasts, especially those accompanied by many problems such as health problems, aesthetic problems, and psychological problems such as excessive sagging or feeling unbearable pain in the neck,  shortness of breath, or the inability to find suitable bras or clothes.

    What is the difference between tightening your breast and Breast reduction?

    Dr. Yasser Badi introduced several clear differences that distinguish the cosmetic intervention to tighten the breast from the cosmetic intervention to reduce the size of the breast, as the following:

    During the surgical reduction of the breast size, a large number of mammary glands are removed, while this amount is reduced during the lifting breast operation.

    Breast tightening surgery depends on removing the excess skin, stretching the rest, and finally changing the areola position to get rid of sagging breasts without needing to remove any part of the breast tissue. While to get breasts smaller, fat accumulated under the layers of the skin is removed along with a small part of the breast tissue, and then the excess skin is tightened to obtain the required degree of reduction.

    When should breast lift surgery be performed?

    Dr. Yasser Badi clarified the conditions that require a breast lift, and these cases are:

    • Sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery which results in loss of strength and rigidity of the mammary glands, and thus sagging of the breast.
    • The enlarged breast which results in muscle weakness and thus sagging over time.
    • Breast enlargement or sagging breasts due to genetic factors.

    Breast lift operation possible hazard

    Dr. Yasser Badi reassured all patients who need to perform breast lift operations and confirmed that this procedure is 100% safe, and is performed under local anesthesia within half an hour, and the patient returns home on the same day if everything goes well.

    • Sanitize the breasts.
    • Use local anesthesia to avoid the patient’s feeling of pain.
    • Ultrasound is used to dissolve excess fat in the breast.
    • Fat is melted and suctioned outside the body.
    • Make a surgical incision (T-cut, which is from the nipple to the breast fold on both sides of the breast – or an I-cut that reaches from the nipple to the breast fold – an L-shaped cut that reaches from the nipple to the breast fold in one direction only).
    • Part of the mammary glands are removed.

    What is the HIFU skin tightening technique? and How does it work?

    The HIFU skin tightening technique is one of the alternative techniques to surgical intervention, and it is used to tighten the skin and treat sagging and wrinkles. The word HIFU is an abbreviation for the term “High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound”, which means ultrasound waves with a high or intense focus.

    HIFU works in lifting the face by exposing the skin to the device that contains 3 sensors, through which energy is emitted and penetrates the depth of 3 layers of the skin, and within a short period ranging from half a second to one second, these inner layers are heated to a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, which results in stretching muscles, tissues, and skin, and thus sagging disappears.

    What are the advantages of a facelift with a HIFU skin tightening technique?

    There are many advantages to using the HIFU skin tightening technique in facelift, the most important of which are:

    • An ideal alternative for those who are afraid of surgical intervention risks.
    • HIFU facelift gives immediate results that could be noticed immediately after the end of the first session.
    • HIFU is completely safe, the HIFU facelift does not involve any risks or complications, and the device has been approved and licensed for use by the Food and Drug Authority “FDA”.

    • The HIFU technique also delays the skin aging process.
    • The HIFU technique is the least expensive compared to other facelift techniques.

    Fortunately, there are no long-term damage or complication detected due to the use of the HIFU technique, and it’s considered to be a safe method for tightened saggy skin with only mild side effects that are tolerable and   disappear within a few days, and the most common of these complications are:

    • Swelling of the treated area.
    • Redness of the skin, and sometimes blue or purple bruises.
    • The feeling of tingling or numbness in the face.

    Is a HIFU face-lift session painful?

    Anyone try to avoid any medical procedure that makes him feel pain, but in the case of HIFU face-lift, the session is pain-free except for some tingles as well as numbness that the patient might feel as a result of the high heat generated by the device which is negligible when compared to a surgical facelift.

    In some cases, the doctor uses local anesthesia before the session to avoid discomfort and help the patient relax during the session.

    Post HIFU fa‎celift

    The HIFU technique is one of the rare cosmetic techniques that does not require a special recommendation to follow after its use, and the patient can resume his life normally just after the session, and all he has to do is to avoid using cosmetics or creams that contain strong chemicals, in addition to avoiding strong sunlight or exposure to heat.

    What makes the HIFU device the ideal technique for eliminating facial sagging is results are noticed immediately, however, to reach the final and ideal result, and eliminate all expression lines, patients have to undergo more than one session, and the number of sessions may range between 4-6 sessions with one to two months apart or according to what the treating doctor determines. In addition, HIFU results last for a long time, as long as they are preserved.

    How to maintain HIFU results

    As we mentioned before HIFU facelift results last for a long time as long as they are preserved, here are some tips that you have to follow to preserve HIFU skin tightening results:

    • Ensure skin moisturizes permanently, by drinking plenty of water and with medical creams.
    • Avoid bad habits that might damage your skin, such as smoking, staying up late, and high fat and sugar intake.
    • Avoid exposure to sunlight without using adequate sunscreen.
    • You might also refer to your doctor to perform a HIFU session to preserve and support the result from time to time.

    Can HIFU be used on the other body parts?

    Some believe that the HIFU technique is intended only for face tightening, while it can be used also for tightening the eyelids,  the cheeks, and the jaws area, and eliminating sagging neck, in addition to tightening sagging arms, abdomen, knee, and legs, etc.

    HIFU facelift cost

    The cost of a HIFU facelift is low when compared to other techniques, and the cost is accurately determined after the person performs the examination, and the doctor evaluates the condition.

    The cost is then determined according to the extent of skin damage, and the number of sessions required to reach the ideal result and get rid of wrinkles completely.  The cost of HIFU also varies from country to country, for example, there are some countries where the cost is high, such as the UAE, while the cost is significantly reduced in other countries, the most important of which is Egypt.
