  • 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.

     Dr. Yasser Badi stressed that this procedure is classified as the most common and popular plastic surgery within women’s society.

    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:

    • Sagging breasts resulting from pregnancy and breastfeeding.
    • Sagging breasts result from the muscles due to age.
    • Massive and/ or rapid weight loss.
    • 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.

    In addition, Dr. Yasser Badi emphasized the safety of the operation regarding the mammary glands and lactation, as well as it was proved that this surgery is not associated with breast tumors, activation of hormonal cells, or permanent loss of sensation in the breast.

  • Breast lift surgery

    Breast lift surgery

    Breast lift surgery is one of the important plastic surgeries for all women, as most women dream of having beautiful and full breasts as well as lifted and taut, and therefore Breast surgery works to achieve this dream for every woman, and many factors prevent the realization of this wish such as Pregnancy, breast-feeding, etc., but with Dr. Yasser Badi, this dream is now easy to achieve safely, using all modern techniques in Breast lift surgery.

    What is Breast lift surgery?

    In this surgery, sagging breasts are reconstructed and reshaped to form a natural breast. This method is used for those women who are not satisfied with the shape of their breasts, as over time the breasts become loose because the breast tissue loses its elasticity.

    From a medical point of view, this change and relaxation do not represent any problem, but for women, the matter is different, as this loses the woman’s self-confidence and makes her in a very bad psychological state. In this case, breast lift surgery is the appropriate solution to achieve the ideal appearance of sagging breasts.

    Causes of sagging breasts

    Many reasons lead to sagging breasts, and then breast lift surgery is performed, as Dr. Yasser Badi explains that the breast is one of the areas that are always subject to change in its shape, in terms of size and shape, and the reason for this is the many changes of hormones, which in turn effect on that area, and environmental factors also cause it, so Dr. Yasser Badi explains the most important factors causing sagging breasts, including:

    • Breast enlargement in adolescence due to excessive weight gain.
    • Unhealthy nutrition.
    • In cases of breast augmentation using incorrect methods.
    • Another reason is excessive exposure to the sun, which is considered one of the environmental causes that cause sagging breasts.
    • Breastfeeding or pregnancy.
    • Smoking, drugs, and alcoholic beverages.
    • The interruption of the menstrual cycle leads to a decrease and relaxation in the breast tissue.
    • Applying silicone fillings to enlarge the breast and using them in the wrong way.
    • Aging of the body and exposure to gravity.

    Breast lift surgery and breast reduction surgery and the difference between them

    1- Breast reduction surgery:

    • Is completely different from breast lift surgery, as the intended breast reduction is the removal of all the fat and glandular tissue present in the breast, as all this fat is dispensed to get rid of the large breast and obtain a small breast.

    2- Breast lift surgery:

    •  This fat or glandular tissue is not completely removed from the breast, as only an amount of excess skin is removed, and this amount is the main cause of breast sagging, meaning that Breast lift surgery has nothing to do with changing the size of the breast, but rather with reducing surface area only.

    Cases that are prohibited from performing Breast lift surgery

    Dr. Yasser Badi says that all women must ensure the suitability of the procedure with the woman’s health condition, as some cases are dangerous for women when performing this operation, and some cases may reach the risk of developing cancer. breasts, these cases are:

    • The presence of infections may affect the procedure.
    • During pregnancy.
    • Poor wound healing.
    • Breastfeeding period.
    • Cases of poor blood clotting.
    • Various autoimmune diseases.

    Necessary examinations before Breast lift surgery

    Despite Dr. Yasser Badi’s clarification above that some cases must be refrained from Breast surgery for them because of the danger they represent, but also for normal cases, the patient’s health condition must be confirmed before performing such an operation, through some examinations required by the doctor, and this shows the extent of medical honesty and honesty that Dr. Yasser Badi adheres to, and these procedures include the following:

    • Mammography.
    • Knowledge of the patient’s medical history.
    • Conducting a physical examination on the breasts in particular, to know the nature of the skin, the direction of the nipple, and the extent of the elasticity of the skin.
    • View previous surgeries.
    • Knowledge of the medications taken and the types of allergies that the case suffers from.

    Breast lift surgery

    • Breast lift surgery is done under general anesthesia, and it takes two to four hours.
    • Dr. Yasser Badi determines the method of making the incision in the breast as a result of the condition of the breast itself, as it is possible for the incision to be made in the crease under the breast, in the armpit, or around the circumference of the nipple.
    • After making the appropriate incision, the appropriate implant is inserted into the breast, and the incisions are closed by stitches in the breast tissue.

    Results of breast lift surgery

    • After the procedure, you will notice a slight swelling in the breasts after removing the bandages and the presence of some incision scars.
    • Dr. Yasser Badi confirms that all these symptoms will disappear within about a month.
    • There is some pain resulting from the operation, which will certainly disappear with the painkillers prescribed by the doctor, and it will completely disappear in a short time.
    • Dr. Yasser Badi emphasizes the need to wear the bandage for 3 days after the procedure, so the arm can be moved freely and then all the usual activities can be done
    • A supportive bra should be worn to help the wound heal quickly and maintain the shape of the breast.

    Ways to lift and tighten the breast

    There is more than one method through which breast lift surgery is performed, as it depends on the condition of the breast itself and the degree of its sagging, as follows:

    1- Simple breast lift

    In this case, breast lift surgery works to tighten the breast and raise it to a simple degree, by removing excess skin in the lower region of the breast, and then reducing the areola and moving the nipple up, as this is done by various cutting techniques, and in this case, the breast will not be relaxed once again.

    2- Breast lift while reducing the size

    This procedure is very suitable for those patients with large and sagging breasts, as it combines both a lift and partial removal of the glandular tissue of the breast.

    3- Breast lift with implant filling

    Some patients choose to have breast augmentation with implants at the same time, because breasts are usually smaller after the procedure, even though no glandular tissue has been removed from the breast.

    For this reason, two steps are performed in one, as when performing the traditional breast lift surgery, breast augmentation cannot be performed until six months after the lifting operation, due to the occurrence of slight sagging after the breast lift.

    Breast lift surgery cost

    The cost of procedure with Dr. Yasser Badi is subject to several different factors, as it is impossible to apply a single cost to all patients, due to the difference in each case from the other, and some perform other operations with Breast lift surgery such as breast lift, breast reduction, or enlarge it and so on, all of which of course affects the cost of the operation.
