However, if accurate and rapid results are desired, breast lifting surgery needs to be preferred. Breast lifting surgery helps to reshape breast tissue while providing breast lifted.
Prolapse may be caused by many different reasons. Prolapse is common after pregnancy and breastfeeding. The breasts that become tense and grown reduring pregnancy are reverted back after breastfeeding. This causes the prolapse of the breasts. In addition, too much weight loss may occur breast prolapse as a result. Losing weight usually means losing breast volume. In this case, breast lifting operations can be applied.

In this technique, 2 or more incisions may be made to the breast region. Another method used in breast lifting surgery is elevator type lifting.
In case of excessive prolapse, elevator type breast lifting surgery can also be performed in which excess skin and prolapsed tissues are removed from the breasts. This technique gives the best results. 3 incisions are made from the bottom and along the fold to the vertical chest line. This method along with the lifting can be used together with the breast reduction. Breast lift surgery also helps with slight prolapses by periareolar breast lifting surgery.

In some cases, if the breasts are small and prolapsed, both lifting and augmentation surgery can be performed together. The appearance of the breasts as extinguished may occur regarding aging, weight loss or pregnancy. During breast lift surgery, materials such as breast implants and silicone can be used.
