How to Reduce Scars after Breast Surgery

Efficient Solutions to Minimise Scarring after Breast Surgery

Breast surgery can be performed for various reasons, ranging from cosmetic enhancements such as augmentation and lifts, to medical necessities like mastectomies or lumpectomies for breast cancer treatment. While these procedures can offer many benefits, they often leave behind scars that can cause physical discomfort or emotional distress. In many cases, scars can make the recovery journey more challenging. Fortunately, several strategies can help reduce the visibility and impact of these scars, enhancing the overall results of the surgery.

Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Jeremy Hunt has devoted his career to helping patients get the aesthetic outcomes they desire. With an empathetic approach, he understands the physical and emotional toll that scars can impose. Dr Hunt’s compassionate care extends to all his patients, providing them with the information and support they need to confidently navigate their recovery journey.

Types of Breast Surgery Procedures

There are many types of breast surgery procedures, each with its own potential for scar formation. Breast augmentation involves placing implants to increase breast size, which can result in scars either around the nipple, under the breast crease, or in the armpit.

Breast reduction surgery is performed with the aim to reduce the size of large breasts, with scars forming around the nipple and down the lower portion of the breast.

A breast lift procedure is performed to raise sagging breasts, and it commonly leaves a scar around the nipple, vertically down to the breast crease and along the crease itself.

For women who’ve undergone a mastectomy due to breast cancer, breast reconstruction surgery can be an option. This procedure often leaves scars, but their location can vary depending on the specific surgical technique used.

Surgical Approaches and Incisions for Breast Surgery

The type and location of incisions made during breast surgery significantly influence the appearance of scars. Some common surgical approaches include:

  • Periareolar incision: An incision made around the edge of the areola, which is often used in breast augmentation, reduction, and lift surgeries
  • Inframammary incision: An incision made in the crease under the breast, often used in augmentation and reconstruction surgeries
  • Transaxillary incision: This type of incision is made in the armpit, used primarily for breast augmentation
  • Vertical or “lollipop” incision: Used in breast reduction or lift surgeries, it involves an incision around the areola’s edge that goes down vertically to the breast crease
  • Wise pattern or “anchor” incision: Often used in very large breast reductions or in mastopexies where the breast is extremely ptotic. The incision lies around the areola, vertically down the front of the breast and horizontally in the breast crease.

Factors Influencing Scar Formation

Scar formation after breast surgery can be influenced by various factors:

  • Genetic predisposition: Some individuals are naturally prone to form more noticeable hypertophic or keloid scars
  • Surgical technique: The plastic surgeon’s skill and the chosen surgical method can impact scar visibility
  • Post-operative care: How well you care for the wound after surgery can significantly influence scar formation
  • Lifestyle factors: Smoking and exposure to sun can exacerbate scar formation
  • Nutrition: Good nutrition is vital for proper wound healing and minimising scar tissue formation

How to Prepare For Breast Surgery to Prevent Visible Scars after Surgery

Preparing for breast surgery with the aim of minimising visible scars is an essential part of your surgical journey. Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Choose an experienced surgeon: Choosing a highly skilled and experienced surgeon is crucial. They should have extensive knowledge of the best surgical techniques to minimise scarring and of proper wound care post-surgery
  2. Discuss the surgical approach: Talk to your surgeon about the type of incisions they plan to make
  3. Quit smoking: If you are a smoker, it’s highly recommended to quit at least a few weeks before the surgery. Smoking/vaping can slow down your recovery and increase the risk of visible scarring
  4. Preoperative consultation: Discuss with your surgeon any concerns you have about scarring, and learn about the strategies that can be implemented both during and after surgery to minimise scars

What to Avoid After Breast Surgery to Minimise Scars

Postoperative care is just as important as preoperative preparation when it comes to minimising scars after breast surgery. Here are some things to avoid to ensure the best possible outcome:

  • Avoid stress on the incision site: Avoid any activities that could put stress or strain on the incision site, especially in the early recovery phase. This includes heavy lifting, rigorous exercise, and stretching movements that may pull at the sutures
  • Don’t smoke: Smoking/vaping can significantly hinder the healing process and lead to worse scarring. It’s crucial to avoid smoking/vaping for several weeks post-surgery
  • Avoid sun exposure: Protect your scars from the sun, as UV radiation can darken scars and make them more noticeable. If you need to go outside, wear protective clothing, or apply a strong SPF sunscreen to the scar area once it has fully healed
  • Avoid picking at scabs or stitches: Picking at scabs or stitches can interrupt the healing process and potentially lead to worse scarring. If your stitches are causing discomfort, consult your surgeon rather than trying to handle it yourself
  • Don’t neglect proper nutrition: Continue to eat a diet rich in nutrients that support healing and healthy skin
  • Avoid dehydration: Keeping your body and skin hydrated can support the healing process, so try to avoid becoming dehydrated
  • Avoid swimming and baths: Soaking your incisions in water can lead to infection and negatively impact wound healing. Stick to showers until your surgeon gives you the go-ahead
  • Avoid alcohol: Excessive alcohol can impair wound healing, and can also interact with post-surgical medications. It’s best to limit or avoid alcohol in the weeks following surgery

Surgical and Non-surgical Scar Reduction Methods

Several surgical and non-surgical methods can be utilised to reduce scars post breast surgery:

Surgical methods include scar revision surgery, where the surgeon removes the scar and re-closes the wound, and fat grafting, which involves injecting small amounts of fat into the scar to minimise its appearance. The surgical methods to reduce or modify the appearance of scars can vary, depending on the type, location, and age of the scar, as well as other factors like the patient’s health and lifestyle. Here are two common surgical techniques:

  • Scar Revision Surgery

In this process, the existing scar is surgically removed, and the skin is re-sutured to heal in a less noticeable fashion. This can be done through a few different techniques.

  • Fat Grafting

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or lipofilling, can help improve the appearance of depressed or atrophic scars. This procedure involves collecting a small amount of fat from another part of the body (like the abdomen or thighs), processing it, and then injecting it into the scar area. The injected fat can help elevate the depressed scar, making it level with the surrounding skin surface and thus less noticeable. In addition, fat grafting can also improve the scar’s texture and colour, making it blend better with the surrounding skin.

Non-surgical methods include:

  • Topical treatments: Creams, gels, and silicone sheets can help in reducing scar visibility. Silicone sheets or gels are particularly effective as they keep the scar hydrated and protect it from excess sunlight, enhancing healing and minimising scar formation
  • Laser therapy: This treatment can reduce scar thickness and redness. The laser breaks down scar tissue and stimulates the body’s healing process, leading to the formation of healthier skin
  • Steroid injections: These are used for hypertrophic or keloid scars and can help reduce their size and alleviate discomfort
  • Massage: Gentle scar massage can help break down scar tissue and improve flexibility, especially in raised or thickened scars

Remember, the most suitable scar reduction method depends on the type of scar. Therefore, it is always best to consult a medical professional or a trained plastic surgeon like Dr Jeremy Hunt for personalised advice on scar reduction. They can guide you through the process, ensuring you understand the expectations and results of each method, helping you reclaim your confidence after breast surgery.

FAQs about Scars after Breast Surgery

FAQs about Scars after Breast Surgery

When is scar revision surgery needed?

  • Scar revision surgery is usually considered when a scar causes physical discomfort or restricts movement, when the scar is aesthetically displeasing or causes emotional distress, or when non-surgical methods have not been effective. Scars that have healed in a way that is noticeably misaligned with the skin’s natural tension lines, keloid scars (which are raised and extend beyond the original wound), or hypertrophic scars (which are thick and raised, but do not extend beyond the original wound) can often benefit from scar revision surgery.

Can scars from breast surgery be completely eliminated?

  • While the goal of scar management strategies is to make scars as unnoticeable as possible, it’s important to remember that scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process. As such, they cannot be completely eliminated. Surgical and non-surgical methods can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable and more aesthetically pleasing. The results vary depending on the individual’s healing capabilities, the location and type of the scar, and the treatment method used.

How long does it take for breast surgery scars to heal?

  • Healing times for breast surgery scars varies from one patient to the other. In most cases, initial wound healing occurs within 2 weeks, during which time the incision site should be carefully protected. Over the next few months, the scar will typically become darker and harder – this is a normal part of the healing process. Over the next 1 to 2 years, the scar will usually soften and fade, although it may not completely disappear.

What are my options to get rid of scars after breast surgery?

  • You have several options to manage scars after breast surgery. Topical treatments such as silicone sheets and creams, and injectable treatments like corticosteroids, can be used. For more noticeable scars, laser therapy or microneedling can be beneficial. Surgical options, such as scar revision surgery or fat grafting, may be considered for more severe or problematic scars. 

Can natural remedies help reduce scars?

  • Natural remedies can sometimes help with scar management, although their efficacy varies and they are typically less effective than medical treatments. Aloe Vera is known for its healing properties and can soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. Vitamin E oil, when massaged into the scar, can help improve the scar’s elasticity and appearance.

How to fix Saggy Breasts – Causes, Symptoms and Surgery

Solutions for Saggy Breasts – Correcting Breast Ptosis with Breast Implants, Lift or Reduction

Saggy Breasts are one of the most common complaints with ageing or after pregnancy. Saggy breasts typically have a lower position on the chest wall, often the upper breasts looks deflated and the nipple and areola are pointing down instead of forward. Fortunately, there are several surgical solutions to correct breast sagginess. The most popular procedure to elevate saggy breasts is breast lift surgery. Other options include Breast Implants or Breast Reduction surgery.

Classification for Saggy Breasts: Degree of Droopiness or Ptosis

The medical term we use to define saggy breasts is breast ptosis. There are three different stages of breast ptosis. A suitable treatment plan can only be developed after assessing your level of breast ptosis or other breast conditions that look similar to breast ptosis.

When it comes to breast sagginess, we need to look at the position of the mammary gland compared to the inframammary fold – the crease under the breasts, where the breasts meet the chest wall. The ptosis is more or less severe depending on the amount of breast tissue that is positioned below the level of the inframammary fold.

 

Grade 1: Minor Breast Ptosis

If you have grade 1 breast ptosis it means that the nipple is at the same level or up to 1 cm below the inframammary fold. There are multiple options to correct grade 1 breast ptosis – the most popular is breast lift surgery. A breast lift is performed to eliminate the excess skin and lift the nipple and areola complex. The breast lift surgery can be performed in association with breast implants if you want to correct the sagginess and also add more volume to the upper breasts.

Grade 2: Moderate Breast Ptosis

In this case, the nipple is located 1-3 cm below the crease. A breast lift procedure is often the best solution for this case and, just like it is the case for minor breast sagginess, the lift could be performed together with implants to get bigger, perkier breasts.

Grade 3: Severe Breast Ptosis

In this case, the nipple is positioned more than 3 cm under the inframammary fold level and it is pointing down, not to the front. To correct severe breast sagginess, breast lift surgery is often recommended. When the sagginess is severe, more incisions might be needed to correct the issue.

Pseudo-Ptosis

Pseudo-ptosis, as the name implies, is a type of ‘fake’ ptosis. The breasts might look like they are sagging as there is breast tissue hanging below the inframammary fold level; however, the nipple and areola are in the correct anatomical position. Pseudoptosis can be corrected with the help of a breast augmentation surgery – using breast implants can make the upper pole look fuller and the breasts look perkier.

Parenchymal Maldistribution

Parenchymal maldistribution is characterised by a lack of fullness in the lower pole of the breast. The crease below the breasts is positioned high on the chest wall and there is a short distance from the nipple to the fold. The condition is similar to tuberous breasts and can be corrected using the breast procedure recommended by Dr Hunt after a medical examination.

What Causes Sagging Breasts?

Breast sagginess occurs with the natural ageing process. However, there are other factors that could contribute to the early onset of breast ptosis including weight fluctuations, pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, genetic predisposition and high breast volume.

1. Ageing

Ageing, as mentioned above, causes the structural integrity of the skin to decrease significantly. This change, when combined with the downward stretching of the skin, due to gravity, results in significant breast ptosis. Many women experience this change in the shape of their breasts. It is important to note that these changes become more pronounced and visible after you hit menopause.

2. Excessive sun exposure

Sunburn or sun exposure without proper protection can result in damage to even the deepest layers of the skin, which consequently contributes to the stretching of skin.

3. Weight gain or weight fluctuations

Maintaining a healthy weight has many benefits, one of which is reduced skin sagginess. If there is a significant amount of weight gain, that will also cause a change in the size of the breasts. A quick change in the size of breasts can cause rapid stretching of the overlying skin, resulting in stretched skin that can become droopy when this weight is lost. This fluctuation in weight can be detrimental to the aesthetic of the breasts. Weight gain also causes an increase in the breast tissue which makes them bigger and heavier. This can exaggerate the impact of gravity on the breasts.

4. Smoking

Smoking is extremely harmful to your physical health due to the high content of carcinogens and nicotine present in smoke. These carcinogens, or cancer-producing substances, also affect your skin and its elements, namely elastin. They break down elastin, making the skin lose its elastic nature and ability to return to its original form. Since the breast skin isn’t elastic anymore, it’s more likely to begin to sag with the weight of your breasts.

5. Lack of proper support

It is highly recommended to wear a well-fitted bra that provides sufficient support to your breasts. While having no proper support may not cause any instant damage to your breast shape, over time, your breasts will begin to sag. This problem arises in the late 30s and 40s, although you may be avoiding wearing a bra during your 20s. Another important thing to remember is that wearing a bra alone is not enough if it doesn’t provide enough support to your breast. Wearing an ill-fitting bra that doesn’t cover your breasts entirely, or has a loose band, meaning that it doesn’t hold your breasts, can cause permanent damage to your breast structure in the long run.

6. Pregnancy

Breastfeeding was initially believed to be one of the most important factors responsible for saggy breasts in women who have been pregnant and given birth. However, it was recently determined that saggy breasts are not the result of breastfeeding but rather the effect of significant breast size changes that occur during pregnancy.

How to Prevent Sagging Breasts

Prevention is always better than cure. You should try to take care of your breasts so that the structural integrity of your breasts is maintained. Taking necessary steps to prevent the sagging of your breasts can help slow down even the effect of ageing and gravity on your breasts. Some of the ways in which you can prevent sagging of breasts are mentioned below:

  • Eating a nutritious diet, rich in antioxidants
  • Wearing a proper bra
  • Avoiding excessive sun exposure

How to Treat Saggy Breasts – Surgical Solutions

The best treatment of saggy breasts is determined by multiple factors, the most important being the breast ptosis grade. Based on the classification of the sagging, the treatment options and the surgical approaches can be very different. Here are the surgical solutions that can help you get perky breasts:

1. Breast Lift

A breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess skin from the breasts and give them a perkier appearance. It is performed after significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies that have left the breasts saggy and droopy. A breast lift procedure can be performed on its own or in combination with other procedures. The decision to combine procedures may be taken if the combination will be more beneficial in treating saggy breasts than just performing a breast lift. The breast lift could be performed together with a breast implants surgery and even a breast reduction to enhance the aspect of the breasts. However, the breast lift is often performed with liposuction and a tummy tuck/ Abdominoplasty as part of the Post Pregnancy Surgery.

2. Breast Reduction

A breast reduction procedure is often helpful in preventing further sagging as it helps reduce the weight of the breast. For optimal treatment of sagging, the procedure is often performed in combination with a breast lift procedure. This combination procedure allows your surgeon to remove the breast tissue, while simultaneously removing the excess skin that will be present after the breast reduction procedure. The breast reduction procedure results are perkier, smaller breasts with a better contour.

3. Breast Implants

Breast implants surgery could be a good option for you if you have small breasts with minor breast ptosis. Placing a small breast implant, and repositioning the nipple and areola can improve the appearance of the breasts. A breast implant procedure will not only treat sagginess but also make the breasts bigger.

It is recommended to discuss the side effects of each procedure and your eligibility before making your decision. You should discuss the potential surgical solutions with your surgeon, in detail, so that you can make an informed decision with regards to the surgery you want to undergo.

FAQs about Saggy Breasts and Surgical Solutions

How can I fix saggy breasts?

  • The most popular procedure to correct saggy breasts is the breast lift. However, in some cases, the procedure might be associated with a breast implants surgery or with a breast reduction.

What causes breasts to sag?

  • There are multiple factors ranging from ageing and sun exposure to smoking that can cause your breasts to be saggy.

How do you lift your breasts with a bra?

  • Wearing a well-fitting bra that covers your breasts, and has a band that does not ride high on your back will provide your breasts with enough support to lift them, and can give them a perkier appearance.

Should I wear a bra to bed?

  • You can wear a bra to bed if that is what makes you comfortable. If you aren’t comfortable, you can opt to sleep without a bra.

Does going braless cause breast sagging?

  • Lack of proper support is one of the most common causes of breast sagging. You should always wear a supportive bra to maintain the structural integrity and shape of your breasts.

What Do Perfect Breasts Look Like?
By Dr Jeremy Hunt FRACS - Specialist Plastic Surgeon

What Do Perfect Breasts Look Like?

Characteristics of the Perfect Breasts

Sometimes you see a pair of breasts and you think they look just perfect! But when you try to imagine them for yourself, the image doesn’t quite fit. What makes the perfect breasts for you?

Ideal breast characteristics include good breast symmetry, the right breast size, natural breast shape, a prominent cleavage, proportional breast and nipple position, and balanced breast firmness. No matter the shape, size, or position, the perfect breasts are the ones you feel the most comfortable with.

Of course, different people have different perceptions and opinions on what a perfect breast looks like.  For some patients, it will be a fuller, rounder look and for others, it will be a smaller, more petite and athletic look and each individual patient needs to be assessed based on their perception of what the perfect result for them will be.

Dr Jeremy Hunt is a specialist plastic surgeon performing breast cosmetic surgery. He performs different surgical techniques for breast augmentation, reduction, lift, and reconstruction surgeries that can give you the aesthetic results you’ve always wanted.

First Step to Get the Perfect Breasts

Process of consultation is the first step, and this would involve discussing with patients their expectations, so that the image that they have in their mind can be formulated into a surgical plan, so the result they desire can be delivered.

It may take multiple consultations and is often worthwhile for patients to bring images of what they think the perfect result they desire is.

Factors that will need to be considered will be the height of the patient, the weight of the patient, the width of their chest, their lifestyle and the length of their chest, as well as torso in terms of a ratio.

 

Anatomy Of the Breast

Your breasts are mainly made up of three types of tissue:

  • Glandular tissue: containing lobes and lobules that end in bulbs (glands) that can produce breast milk. The lobes, lobules, and bulbs are all connected by thin ducts
  • Fat tissue: the adipose tissue that gives your breasts their volume. The fat fills the spaces between your breast’s glandular tissue
  • Connective tissue: the tissue that holds your breast tissue together and gives your breasts their form

There are no muscles in the breasts. However, your breast tissues are organised on top of your chest wall muscles, known as the pectoral muscles. Hence, your breast on the inside has your breast fat, lobes, lobules, and ducts sitting on top of your chest’s muscles.

On the outside, almost in the centre of the breast, you have a pigmented circular area on the breast’s skin (areola) with the nipple.

The size, volume, and positioning of these different types of breast components give each breast its unique shape, form, and size.

What Makes the Perfect Breasts?

When you think of what perfect breasts look like, a lot of things can pop into your mind. How big should the breasts be? How far apart? What’s the right breast shape? Where should the breasts sit on the chest?

There isn’t one thing on its own that makes the breasts look great. A combination of different breast characteristics can give you breasts that you like.

The perfect shaped breast has well been described in terms of angles, distances, width and volume.

Some believe that the perfect shape would involve having 45% of the volume of the breast above the nipple and 55% of the volume below.  A gentle ramp from the top of the breast to the location of the nipple is considered ideal and inclination of the nipple above horizontal of approximately 15° is well described.

This though may not meet everyone’s expectations and different people will look for a different result that they would regard as ‘perfect’.

Things that need to be considered would include breast symmetry, volume, shape, perkiness and position on the chest.

·       Breast symmetry

Things and features that are symmetric are usually considered beautiful and attractive. Breasts are no different.

The breasts can look asymmetric when one breast is larger than the other or when one droops down more than the other. This can make your breasts look uneven and like they don’t fit together.

The more symmetric and even the breasts are, the more alluring they look and the more the chest appears harmonious.

·       The right breast size

Ideally, the breast size shouldn’t be too small or too big for your body. And the phrase “bigger is always better” definitely doesn’t apply here.

Breasts that are too large or too tiny for your chest can make your entire upper body look out of balance. The size of your breasts should be proportional to the size and shape of the rest of your upper body.

For example, full and voluminous breasts would fit the body of women with wide shoulders and a broad waist. The larger breast size will better complement the dimensions of such body types.

On the other hand, the same breast size may not look as good on someone with a petite figure and a narrow waist. The breasts could look oversized and give the illusion that the shoulders and even head are too small for the body.

·       Breast shape

A natural and beautiful breast shape is one of the most desired qualities in breasts.

There are a lot of different types and shapes of breasts out there. You have the round, archetype, the bell-shaped, and many other breast shapes.

The natural shape of the breast resembles a teardrop; the breast tissue starts slightly thinner at the top and then gradually slopes into more fullness below the nipple.

Breasts that are equally full at the upper and lower poles can look a bit too rounded and appear somehow unnatural.

Moreover, breasts that look tuberous, box-shaped, cone-shaped, elongated, snoopy, or puffy can be aesthetically unpleasant and make your chest look less attractive.

·       Perky breasts

“Perkiness” is one of the most desired breast features. Losing a lot of weight, giving birth, or simply growing older can leave your breasts looking saggy and deflated.

·       Cleavage

A well-defined cleavage is one of the hallmarks of good-looking breasts. A V-shaped neckline dress or shirt can look better with an accentuated cleavage.

The ideal breast cleavage shouldn’t be too wide or too narrow whether you’re wearing a push-up bra, a bikini, or even nothing at all.

·       Breast position on the chest

The position of your breasts on your chest plays a huge role in how good your breasts look.

Breasts that sit too low on the chest can appear saggy even when they’re not. They can also make the space between the neck and breast look too wide and the entire chest area looks out of balance.

Conversely, if the breasts are positioned too high up on your chest, they can appear too close to your neck and make your chest look crowded.

The ideal breasts will have to be positioned somewhere in the middle of your chest; not too high up but not too low either.

·       Nipple position

Breasts that look good usually also have nipples that look good as well. One of the breast cosmetic concerns that many women have is the position of their nipples.

In some cases, the nipple can hang low on the breast or point downward; this is known as nipple ptosis. In other cases, nipples may be too far apart or too close to one another. Either way, the nipple will look out of place and make your breast look less attractive.

When the nipples are lifted and centered, the breasts will look more natural and in good shape.

·       Breast firmness

Having beautiful breasts isn’t just about how your breasts look, it’s also about how your breasts feel to the touch.

While firm breasts are a sign of youth and health, a lot of people also prefer the breast to feel somehow soft when squeezed. So how firm should the breasts be?

Once again, it all comes down to a balance between firmness and softness that can determine the beast’s attractiveness.

·       Comfort

And last but not least, comfort. The ideal breasts for you would be breasts you feel comfortable with. They don’t feel too heavy on your chest, you can easily fit them into clothes and they look just right on you.

Every person has a different idea of what beauty looks like so ultimately the perfect breasts are breasts that fit your beauty standards and aesthetic goals.

How to Get the Breasts You Like

Your breasts don’t always look exactly the way you want them to. Fortunately for people looking to get the perfect chest, several cosmetic surgeries can change the size, shape, and firmness of your breasts.

Dr Jeremy Hunt performs a variety of plastic and reconstructive breast surgeries that can change different breast features and give you natural and desirable breasts.

1.     Breast augmentation

A breast augmentation surgery, also known as a boob job or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery done to enhance the size and shape of the breasts.

The process of breast augmentation involves increasing the volume of the breasts.  This can be done using fat transfer or using an implant, be it silicone or saline and each individual patient has a decision-making process as to where the incision will be located for insertion of the breast prosthesis, whether the implant is located above or below the muscle, the shape of the implant could be round or teardrop shaped and the fill of the implant could be silicone or saline.

Ultimately, the volume of the implant can range extensively from 100 cc to 800 cc and each of these will have an impact on the final result that is achieved.

If you’re unsatisfied with the way your breasts look, Dr Hunt can perform a breast augmentation surgery to:

  • Enlarge your breasts
  • Improve the shape of your breasts
  • Highlight your cleavage
  • Give you a more voluminous chest
  • Add firmness to your breasts

Your breast implants can be placed either above the muscle (subglandular implants) or under the muscle (submuscular implants). The placement of your implants can affect how your breasts end up looking. For example, above-the-muscle implants can add more volume to your breasts and give you a better cleavage, while under-the-muscle implants can give you more natural-looking breasts.

2.     Breast Lift

A breast lift or a mastopexy is another breast cosmetic surgery that can plump up and reshape your breasts without using implants.

If your breasts have enough volume but they’re starting to droop down and sag, Dr Hunt offers breast lifts without implants to fix your deflated boobs appearance.

One of the aspects of the perfect shaped breast is to have the nipple located on the apex or the top of the breast mound.

If there has been descent or drop in the height of the nipple, be it due to ageing, weight loss or potential changes with pregnancy, breastfeeding and childbirth, then a breast-lift may be necessary to achieve the desired breast shape.

There are several breast lift techniques, including:

  • Lollipop lift
  • Crescent lift
  • Donut lift
  • Anchor lift

These mastopexy techniques allow Dr Hunt to lift your breasts into a perkier position and give them a smoother and tighter contour. Moreover, your nipple and areola are also lifted into a more natural height.

3.     Breast reduction

Breast reduction surgery or reduction mammaplasty is a cosmetic procedure that can permanently reduce the size of excessively heavy breasts. The perfect breast for some patients can involve the removal of back, neck and shoulder pain caused by excessively heavy breasts.

During a breast reduction surgery, Dr Hunt removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to make your breasts look smaller and more proportional to the rest of your body. A breast reduction is a good option for some patients as it can relieve daily back, neck and shoulder pain and discomfort due to heavy and pendulous breasts.

4.     Breast reconstruction

Breast reconstruction surgery is a cosmetic surgery done to reshape the breasts and rebuild damaged breast tissue.

Dr Hunt performs reconstructive surgery of the breasts for patients with tuberous breast deformity and patients who’ve undergone breast cancer surgery.

Breast reconstruction can:

  • Restore the breast’s symmetry
  • Fix breast anatomical deformities
  • Give the breasts more volume
  • Sculpt the breast into a more cosmetically appealing shape
  • Reduce the size of enlarged areolas

How can I make my boobs attractive?

  • Attractive breasts are usually symmetric, lifted, perky, and have enough volume. Certain exercises and clothing can make your breasts look better and bigger, but not by much and not for a long time. Ultimately, the only way to get fuller rounder breasts that stand firm is by cosmetic breast surgery.

How do you make saggy breasts look good?

  • Sagging breasts cannot become firm again on their own. Your breasts don’t have any muscles, so it’s not possible to tighten up your breast tissue with exercise. However, you can lift your breasts and get rid of breast sagging by getting a Mastopexy (breast lift surgery) if you have enough natural breast tissue. On the other hand, you can get an augmentation mammoplasty to improve saggy breasts that aren’t big enough, to begin with. Your surgeon can add volume to your breasts using breast Implants, fat transfers, or a combination of both.

What to do if one breast is bigger than the other?

  • It’s normal for one of your breasts to have a slightly different size than the other. Breasts are hardly ever 100% symmetrical. However, if one breast is remarkably larger than the other it can make the breasts look uneven and unnatural. Asymmetrical breasts can be fixed by making one of the breasts smaller (breast reduction surgery) to match the other, or one of the breasts bigger (breast augmentation surgery) to match the size and shape of the other.

Internal Bra Lift: A More Durable Breast Lift Technique
By Dr Jeremy Hunt FRACS - Specialist Plastic Surgeon

Internal Bra Lift: A More Durable Breast Lift Technique

Saggy Breasts needing a lift?  – An Internal Bra can help avoid Bottoming Out after Breast Surgery

If you have saggy breasts, then you might be considering getting a breast lift. An internal bra lift is a fairly new type of breast lift that you should consider when doing your research. It can be done alone or combined with breast augmentation or reduction.

The internal bra lift is an option for women who want the most durable and significant breast lifting possible. Your inner breast tissue is tightened, lifted, and supported with strong sutures. The deep tissue is reshaped in a hammock-like shape to hold the breasts up and keep them up. This leads to maximal lifting and long-lasting perkiness. It’s like a breast lift with extra support.

The term ‘internal bra’ is used commonly in breast surgery and involves multiple techniques to provide internal suspension much like a bra would to the breast.  This will ensure that in the longer term the effects of gravity are minimised and the result that was achieved immediately after surgery is maintained over the years.

 

Dr Hunt prefers to avoid using foreign materials in an Internal bra lift

Different techniques can be used that involved the use of your own tissue, potentially sutures or stitches as well as the use of a number of mesh-typed materials that include mesh made from dissolving suture material, mesh that is made from silk as well as using what is known as a dermal substitute.

The challenges of using foreign material are that delayed infection and rejection rate are high so Dr Hunt’s preferred technique is to use the patients’ native tissue to provide internal support in combination with a series of sutures. When patients are researching the internal bra technique, it is imperative that people understand what is being used to achieve the result and be comfortable with the use of that method or material.

Some surgeons use a silk mesh or a cellular dermal matrix (ADM) to create an inner hammock for support. However, Dr Hunt and Dr Maryam avoid these to reduce the risk of infection and breast deformity. Synthetic mesh is reserved for more complicated cases or breast revision cases.

What Is an Internal Bra Lift?

Breast Lift Sydney Dr Jeremy Hunt Before and After Photo - LIFT 11 Side

Internal bra surgery is a technique used to provide internal suspension to the breast tissue to maintain the results that are achieved in the short term into the longer term.  It can be used in breast reduction, breast lift, as well as breast augmentation and can involve manipulation of the breast tissue as well as internal sutures or the use of internal sling material.

An internal bra lift is a fairly new and innovative type of breast lifting technique (mastopexy). It can be done alone, through a periareolar incision, or as an add-on to other breast surgeries. It can be added to a traditional breast lift, breast augmentation, or breast reduction. The internal breast fat and tissue are lifted, fixed high up with sutures, and held up with hammock-like support created from your own connective tissue.

The key feature of an internal bra lift is the hammock-like support. It is thought to delay sagging and provide more durable results, as the tightened tissue holds the breasts up against gravity. As the name implies, it’s like having your breasts supported with a bra on the inside. The internal bra lift provides more long-lasting results and prevents the breasts from sagging too fast.

An internal bra mastopexy can be done with any type of cosmetic breast surgery, with or without implants. If you get implants, then internal bra lifting helps reduce the risk of implants bottoming out. The suturing technique tightens the breast pocket around the implant, and the hammock holds it from below.

Dr Hunt and Dr Maryam both offer inner bra lift surgery for their patients in Sydney, New South Wales. It might be combined with any other type of breast surgery, with or without implants, to ensure maximal lifting from the inside.

Benefits of Internal Bra Lift

There are several advantages of internal bra lift that make it a popular surgery among our breast surgery patients in Sydney, New South Wales.

If you get an internal bra mastopexy, then you should expect:

  • A breast lift that lasts longer
  • A boob job that lasts longer
  • Less risk of implants bottoming out
  • Effective breast lifting
  • More support at the inframammary fold to hold your breast shape and implants
  • Perky and tighter breasts
  • Forward-facing nipples

The benefits of an internal bra lift include all of those you get with a traditional breast lift and some more. It’s an excellent procedure to reverse the signs of breast ageing, fix south-pointing nipples, and make the breasts tight and perky.

Internal Bra Lift vs Traditional Breast Lift

An internal bra lift and a traditional breast lift are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The internal bra support can be added to a traditional breast lifting technique to maximise durability.

The internal bra lift is considered to be more durable than traditional breast lifting. The inner tissue hammock provides extra support to the lower part of the breasts. It holds them up, counteracting the effect of gravity, and preventing them from sagging. This extra support at the inframammary line also helps prevent breast implants from bottoming out.

What is used for the Internal Bra?

The patients’ own breast tissue can be used to form an internal sling or internal bra and this is Dr Hunt’s preferred technique.  This is then reinforced with dissolving sutures which will dissolve over 3 to 6 months by which stage the body’s own collagen has created its own internal bra support structures.

Who Needs an Internal Bra Lift?

Regardless of the type of breast surgery you’re planning to get, an additional internal bra lift is worth consideration.

You’d be a good candidate for an internal bra lift if:

  • You are getting a breast augmentation, breast reduction, or traditional mastopexy
  • You have mild to moderate breast ptosis
  • You want more breast implant support
  • You want to make your breast lift last longer
  • You want more inframammary fold support
  • You want to achieve maximal lifting and support when having an inverted T incision

An internal bra lift is a great add-on to any cosmetic breast procedure. It’s perfect for women who don’t have severe breast ptosis, yet still need significant lifting and breast support.

A good candidate for mastopexy, of course, needs to be in good general health. You will also have to quit smoking at least 4 weeks before your surgery to avoid any complications.

How Is an Internal Bra Lift Performed

Patient Case Study – Breast reduction with internal bra – F cup to D cup result 5 yrs post-surgery with maintenance of shape and elevation of the breast as it is supported internally by an internal bra of breast tissue

An internal bra lift is done at the hospital, usually under general anaesthesia. This means that you will be put to sleep before the procedure and won’t feel anything during. The steps of the procedure depend on whether you are getting an internal bra lift alone or with another cosmetic breast procedure. Nevertheless, regardless of the combination, the surgical technique usually goes like this:

Through the breast incision, your plastic surgeon will release the breast skin from the underlying tissue. He or she will then manipulate the deeper layers, which include muscle, fat, and connective tissue. They will cut any excess tissue and tighten the rest. The connective tissue will be used to create hammock-like support that holds the breasts up in a high position. Your surgeon will then use strong sutures to fix everything to the chest wall.

After the breast is lifted to satisfaction, your surgeon will have to remove the excess breast skin. The skin is then tightened and the breast lift incision is closed with thin sutures.

Internal Bra Lift with Implants

If you’re getting implants with your internal bra lift, then the implants will be inserted before the inner breast tissue is tightened. The breast tissue will be tightened around the bra to fix it in its place. An internal bra lift allows maximal support at the bottom pole of the breast implant, effectively preventing bottoming out.

Risks and Complications of Internal Bra Lift

Internal bra lift is a generally safe procedure with minimal risks and complications. Some of the rare post-op complications that might occur with an internal bra lift include:

  • Wound infection (increased risk with synthetic mesh)
  • Loss of sensation around the nipples
  • Inability to breastfeed
  • Bleeding
  • Haematoma formation (blood collection)
  • Seroma formation (fluid collection)
  • Excessive scarring

Some of the long-term complications of internal bra lift and breast implants include:

  • Deformity due to fibrosis (especially with synthetic mesh)
  • Capsular contracture
  • Implant bottoming out (risk is less than with traditional bra lift)
  • Implant rupture
  • Implant malposition
  • Loss of sensation in part of the breast

To reduce the risks of internal bra lift, even more, you should have a surgeon that is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery. Our surgeons, Dr Hunt and Dr Maryam have developed techniques to lift the breasts internally without a mesh. This is proven to reduce the risk of infection and breast deformity due to internal scarring.

Costs and Prices of Internal Bra Lift – How much is an Internal Bra Surgery?

 

In all his breast surgery Dr Hunt provides this internal bra technique at no extra charge. Dr Hunt considers it a part of a surgical technique he used to create results for patients that will look good in the short term, the medium and the longer term and is a standard part of his surgical technique in all of his breast surgery cases.

Preparing for Your Surgeon Consultation

Your consultation will start with a few questions about your general health and your desired cosmetic goals. Expect Dr Hunt to ask you questions like:

  • What exactly is bothering you about your breasts?
  • What shape of breasts do you wish to have?
  • What size of breasts do you wish to have?
  • How important is a significant cleavage to you?
  • Do you have a problem with getting breast implants with your lift?
  • Do you have a problem with having a scar along the lower pole of your breast?

Then, Dr Hunt will examine your breasts to know exactly what can and cannot be done. He will then give you your options and you can discuss and choose a suitable surgical option together.

An internal bra lift is almost always an option, regardless of what cosmetic breast procedure you’re getting. It is one of the ways to make your bob job last longer.

Internal Bra Lift FAQs – Questions about an Internal Bra

internal bra FAQs Dr Hunt

Can you breastfeed after an internal bra lift?

  • It is still very possible that you will still be able to breastfeed after an internal bra lift. Even though some of the milk ducts will be damaged, enough of them will stay intact so that you’ll be able to nurse your baby. Make sure you discuss this thoroughly with Dr Hunt before deciding on getting cosmetic breast surgery.

How long does an internal bra lift last?

  • An internal bra lift is very durable. It can last up to 10 years or even more. Naturally, the breasts will still sag as the years pass and you will likely need breast revision surgery after a decade beyond your original procedure.

Can you get an internal bra lift without implants?

  • You can get an internal bra lift with or without implants. Implants are sometimes necessary if you have deflated breasts. In such cases, an implant will restore the lost breast volume and emphasize your cleavage more. That’s why most women who choose to get an internal bra lift combine it with breast augmentation.

Is an internal bra lift better than a traditional breast lift?

  • Each procedure has its strong points. An internal bra lift is perfect for women who need moderate lifting but want to avoid a visible scar. A traditional “inverted-T” breast lift, however, is more extensive. It allows more lifting and is hence a better option for women with severe breast ptosis.

How long does internal bra surgery take?

  • The time for the procedure varies depending on your individual anatomy and the specific procedure that is being done. If you are getting breast augmentation with your breast lift, then expect the procedure time to be longer – maybe 2 to 3 hours.

How do I keep my breast implants ‘perky’?

  • The effect of gravity cannot be turned off after surgery and to support the breast tissue the surgeon will use the internal bra technique. The added support offered by external bra as appropriate size and fit in the longer term will ensure that the results of breast surgery be at breast reduction, breast lift or breast implants remained in an elevated position. If you don’t wear a bra and offer support to the breast on a regular basis then the effects of gravity will be more extensive and the implant and breast tissue will tend to drop.

What is an inframammary incision?

  • Surgeons will call the fold underneath the breast the inframammary fold (IMF). When we placed a breast implant via an incision in this fold we term that incision location as an inframammary incision.

What does breast implant bottoming-out look like?

  • The challenge with breast implant surgery is that the skin envelope that contains the breast tissue now needs to carry the volume of the breast tissue and the breast implants. At times, the implant can slip from behind the breast tissue and descend below the fold underneath the breast and this creates the deformity known as a ‘double-bubble’. In other cases, the breast implant weight can create too much stretch on the lower pole of the breast with the appearance of the breast tissue descending below the nipple and the nipple appearing too high on the breast mound. The appearance is described as ‘bottoming-out’.

How do you fix bottom-out breast implant?

  • There are multiple techniques to address the bottoming-out of a breast implant and it certainly will require revisional surgery. The primary objective of the revisional surgery though will be to achieve the desired breast cup size for the patient and this may involve increasing the size of implant potentially decreasing the size of implant or using internal suspension techniques to support the implant. Revisional breast surgery is far more complicated than the initial implant insertion and needs to be specifically tailored to the patients’ needs as well as their tissue volume.

Will bottoming out get worse?

  • Once the process of bottoming out has begun it is a slow but steady descent of the implant. The only solution is to provide long-term external support to minimise the progression of bottoming out and the only way to correct the problem is through a surgical revision.

How do I keep my breast implants from dropping?

  • Support is the key to avoiding descent and dropping breast implants as well as natural breast tissue. Dr Hunt’s advice to his patients is that they continue to wear an appropriate size and fitted bra to offer external support to the breast in the longer term.

Are there internal stitches with breast augmentation?

  • Following a breast augmentation, a pocket has been created to place the implant. The lower portion of this pocket needs to be supported in the longer term by re-establishing an internal bra. The internal bra would involve sutures and stitches that will re-attach the ligaments and breast tissue to the chest wall to minimise the chance of bottoming out and double-bubble deformity.

Is an internal bra lift painful?

  • The use of an internal bra technique does not increase the postoperative pain from my patients and this worthwhile procedure does not increase the length of recovery. Like any other surgery, an internal breast bra lift can be associated with a certain level of pain. In most cases, the pain is very well tolerated. Regular painkillers, like paracetamol, are usually enough to help you through a painless recovery.

Is breast lift safer than implants?

  • Both breast implants and a breast lift are safe procedures with a similar risk profile. However, implants tend to bring along more long-term complications. This includes implant malposition, bottoming out, capsular contracture, and implant rupture.

When can you stop wearing a sports bra after breast augmentation?

  • In the short term after breast augmentation for approximately 6 weeks, I encouraged my patients to wear a soft, non-structured no-wire bra. The sports bra allows freedom of movement as well as the resolution of swelling in the first six weeks.  After the six-week period when swelling has resolved patients can purchase bras and at that stage, Dr Hunt would encourage them to use any form of bra that suits their lifestyle, needs and requirements.

Patient Case Study of Breast Lift With Implants
By Dr Jeremy Hunt FRACS - Specialist Plastic Surgeon

Patient Case Study of Breast Lift With Implants

Case Study Drooping Breast – Breast Lift With Implants # 1

Patient Consultation – Concerns: Dropping nipple and lack of upper pole fullness after breastfeeding

The patient was a 33-year-old who had noticed changes in the shape of her breast following her pregnancy and subsequent breastfeeding of her two children. The breast lift with implants was the right surgical option for her particular case – Case Study Drooping Breasts.

Pre-pregnancy she comfortably filled a C cup though, she now felt that she filled a B cup and was particularly concerned at drop in the height of her nipple as well as lack of fullness in the upper pole of the breast.

Surgical Solution: A Breast Lift with Implants – Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery

She consulted with Dr Hunt regarding a potential breast lift combined with a breast augmentation to increase the volume of her breast as well as elevate the height of the dropped nipple. The patient decided to have an augmentation mastopexy (a breast lift with implants)

She also underwent an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) during the same surgical procedure to address the concerns in her lower abdomen.

Dr Jeremy Hunt performs a Breast Lift with Implants Surgery

Six months following her breast lift with implants surgery the scars from the breast lift are beginning to fade and she now fills a C cup if not small D cup. She has soft and mobile breast mounds bilaterally with intact sensation to the nipple on both sides. The patient had 205cc teardrop-shaped silicone implants inserted under the pectoralis muscle to create the full C cup she desired.
