Postpartum Breast Surgery — TANG:GLE Plastic Surgery

Back to perky
and resilient breasts!

Restores sagging breasts after pregnancy and childbirth
back to a perky breast line.

Prologue

Even breasts that were firm and voluptuous in youth before pregnancy will gradually sag and have nipples pointing downward due to pregnancy, childbirth, and aging.
This is common in women who had relatively large breasts, but even for those with smaller breasts, the downward pointing of the nipples
cannot be prevented. When breasts sag significantly, it causes not only aesthetic dissatisfaction
but also physical discomfort, such as severe skin chafing, leading to significant mental stress.
Surgeries to lift sagging breasts are steadily on the rise and are gaining increasing interest as part of women's journey to rediscover themselves.

Self Test

Self-Diagnosis

The degree of breast sagging can be determined based on the inframammary fold.
Normally, the nipple should be 4 to 5 cm above the inframammary fold, but if it is below the inframammary fold, surgical correction may be considered necessary.

How?

Postpartum Breast Surgery

How is the surgery performed?

By closely and three-dimensionally analyzing your symptoms, an appropriate surgical method among implant augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), and breast reduction is selected depending on the degree of breast sagging,
improving sagging breasts through single or combined surgeries.

Mild SaggingImplant Augmentation (Periareolar mastopexy if needed)

When the nipple has dropped less than 1 cm below the inframammary fold

In cases of mild sagging, breast augmentation with implants alone can improve the sagging while enhancing breast volume.
Periareolar mastopexy can be performed if necessary.
By selecting the type of implant and the incision method, a highly safe and efficient breast augmentation is performed.

Moderate SaggingBreast Lift (+ Implant Insertion: If volume is also needed)

When the nipple has dropped about 1 to 2 cm below the inframammary fold

The need for breast augmentation is determined based on whether there is sufficient breast volume, and it is a surgical method that corrects sagging at the same time.
After choosing an appropriate incision method according to the shape of the breast, sagging skin is excised through a periareolar incision or vertical incision to improve sagging, and the breast is secured upward. (If the breast tissue is severely sagged, it is pulled up higher and secured.)

Severe SaggingBreast Lift + Breast Reduction

When the nipple has dropped more than 3 cm below the inframammary fold

If the breast size is sufficient, augmentation is not needed, but if the breast volume is low and there is severe loss of skin elasticity, requiring a large amount of breast skin to be excised, implant augmentation and mastopexy are usually performed at the same time.
In cases of severe sagging, breast sagging is corrected through a vertical or inverted-T (Wise pattern) incision, and appropriate implants are used to shape the size and appearance of the breasts.

To ensure a quick return to daily life after breast surgery, TANG:GLE Plastic Surgery provides customized post-operative care, including Capsulitis, high-frequency (RF) therapy, SmartLux, and scar lasers, to reduce bruising and swelling.

A view of receiving care with Capsulotis, a specialized breast care device

Capsulitis

As specialized breast care equipment, it aids micro-blood circulation to gently soothe and soften hardened tissue after surgery. It is effective in relieving swelling, bruising, and pain, improves inflammatory responses early on, and prevents capsular contracture.

Operating high-frequency (RF) care equipment

High-Frequency Care

It is not only effective in improving swelling and bruising,
but also helps shape the body line by breaking down remaining fat.

Receiving SmartLux care under an LED panel

SmartLux

With specialized medical LEDs, it is effective for post-operative recovery,
including skin regeneration,
wound healing, and swelling reduction.

Scar laser equipment

Scar Laser

By delivering precise energy to the skin,
it induces collagen regeneration in the dermal layer and provides skin rejuvenation effects.

Post-operative care programs and session counts are subject to change depending on individual differences.
