Sagging Breasts Due To Giving Birth and Aging

Sagging Breasts Due To Giving Birth and Aging; Can be improved by Breast Lifting Surgery



A woman's breast is a key part of beautiful body line and an important body part that reveals femininity. However, the fat and mammary gland tissue in the chest also lose elasticity after pregnancy and childbirth due to the rapid hormonal changes. The resulting sagging phenomenon not only causes discomfort in daily life, but also causes extreme stress such as psychological atrophy and loss of confidence.

Causes of breast sagging, called breast ptosis, include decreased skin elasticity due to aging, deformation caused by pregnancy and lactation, congenital sagging, and sudden weight change. In general, women with large breasts often experience the aging of the breast line as early as their mid-twenties.

Sagging breast surgery is usually needed when the nipple is located below the bottom line of the breasts. Sagging breast surgery is usually classified in three stages, depending on the position of the nipple. When the breast is not large but sagging with the nipple located 1cm lower than the bottom line of the breasts is the first case. When there is a feeling of volume in the breasts but sagging with the nipple located 2~3cm lower than the bottom line of the breasts is second. When there is no volume but sagging with the nipple located more than 3cm lower than the bottome line of the breasts.

The procedures and surgeries performed by breast condition include laser lifting, breast correction, breast reduction, and breast augmentation. Since the degree of sagging breasts varies from person to person, it is important to accurately and closely grasp the current condition and correct it right.

In order to correct the sagging breasts without making a big change in the size of the breast, the problem should be improved with breast ptosis correction surgery, and in order to solve the size and sagging problem at the same time, breast reduction and augmentation should be considered.

Since the ultimate goal of sagging breast surgery is to improve the breast elastically and beautifully, it is important to find the shape and size of the breast that fits the individual's body shape and needs. A customized surgery plan should be established in consideration of the proportions of the body after sufficient consultation with a specialist with surgical skills.

If you choose a hospital based on the competence of professional medical staff with abundant experience and know-how, you can increase your satisfaction and minimize concerns about side effects.

 Face contouring surgery Q&A 

answered by a plastic surgeon

As the small and slim facial shape has been recognized as one of the representative beauty standards, the number of people concerning of protruded cheekbones and angular jaws also has been increased. If the cheekbones are protruding or the square jaw is big, 

it gives a strong impression and may look older than the actual age. Accordingly, more and more people are considering face contouring surgery to improve the image.

Pay attention if you want to look young with a small and slim facial shape! We’ve asked Dr. Changhyun Oh, one of the head surgeons and founders of Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic, for questions regarding face contouring surgery.


★ If the face is big, can I have face contouring surgery?

Not only the big and over-developed facial bones make the face look big but also the over-developed facial muscles make the face look angular and big. If your facial muscles are developed, you can make your face slimmer with jaw botox or masseter muscle reduction. Botox has the advantage as being easy and convenient treatment than a surgery, but it requires periodic treatment. The masseter muscle reduction surgery may be burdensome as incision and anesthesia are required, but it is maintained semi-permanently after one operation.

Contrary to this, if the facial bone itself is developed, face contouring surgery should be considered. Face contouring surgery is literally a cosmetic surgery that corrects the contours of the face. It is largely divided into cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction, and chin tip surgery(genioplasty). Face contouring is performed when the cheekbones and square jaw are excessively protruded or for the cases of facial asymmetry, short chin, and lantern jaw. Through surgery, it can be improved to a smaller and slimmer facial line and make other facial features look more defined and balanced.

★ How long will it take to recover after face contouring surgery?

Face contouring surgery is performed with general anesthesia, and the operation takes about 1 to 2 hours. In the case of square jaw reduction, hospitalization is required for about a day, but cheekbone reduction and chin tip surgery can be discharged on the same day without hospitalization. The stitches will be removed 1~2 weeks after the surgery. After face contouring surgery, the main swelling usually subsides in 1~2 weeks. Normally, you can go to school or work in about a week. After about 3 weeks, the swelling would subside to some extent and look like the level of swelling after extraction of the wisdom teeth. However, the recovery time differs by individual health status and lifestyle. 


What should be considered when choosing face contouring surgery hospital?

First of all, it is most important to confirm that the medical staff is a plastic surgeon with a lot of clinical experience. If you entrust the surgery to a plastic surgeon who has encountered various face contouring surgery cases, you can minimize side effects and expect high satisfaction with surgery.

In particular, in the case of surgery that deals with bones like face contouring, an anatomical analysis process considering bone structure, density, the location of nerves and vessels, and more is essential through advanced equipment such as 3D computed tomography (CT). This is because 3D CT scans play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment direction of the musculoskeletal system.

Also, surgery that requires general anesthesia, such as face contouring, must be performed in collaboration with a plastic surgeon and an anesthesiologist. Emergency medical equipment should also be equipped in all operating rooms in case of an emergency.
