How to correct splayed breasts

There are many women in life who have s-shaped breasts, or sagging breasts, due to breastfeeding or not wearing proper underwear. Patients with sagging breasts should pay attention to choosing a suitable bra, as well as surgical treatment and breast correction work. These must be done well to alleviate the s-shaped breasts condition.

1. Non-surgical treatment

Wearing a suitable bra can only support sagging breasts and is suitable for women with mild sagging breasts that have no obvious impact on their life and work.

2. Surgery

Surgery to lift sagging nipples and breast tissue to their normal position, remove loose skin, and reshape breasts to create a firmer shape is the only effective way to correct any degree of sagging breasts.

Depending on the location of the incision, it can be divided into double-ring breast lift, vertical incision breast lift and inverted T-incision breast lift. The degree of breast sagging and breast enlargement is different, and the method of choice is also different.

1) Double-ring breast lift: Two circular incisions around the areola are used to remove loose skin, leaving incision scars at the areola-pigment junction. This method is suitable for mild breast sagging. It is not suitable for women with moderate to severe breast sagging or breast enlargement who need breast reduction surgery.

2) Vertical incision breast lift: Based on the double ring method, a vertical incision is added to the lower pole of the breast to remove loose skin, and it can also reduce the diameter of the breast base and the volume of the breast, and increase the convexity of the breast. This method is suitable for various degrees of breast sagging.

3) Inverted T-incision breast lift: Based on the vertical incision method, a horizontal incision is added to the inframammary fold to remove loose skin, which can reduce the breast base diameter and breast volume at the same time. Because the transverse incision scar in the inframammary fold is more obvious, this method is currently limited to very severe breast ptosis and breast hypertrophy.

Some women with sagging breasts have severe breast tissue atrophy and need breast ptosis correction surgery combined with autologous fat injection breast augmentation or prosthetic breast augmentation to achieve satisfactory results.

1) Breast sagging significantly affects physical and mental health and quality of life;

2) Have a correct understanding of breast ptosis correction surgery and have reasonable expectations for the postoperative appearance;

3) More than 6 months after the end of breastfeeding;

4) No obvious scarring;

5) Be in good health and have no contraindications to surgery;
