Now, based on the degree of breast ptosis, we classify it as follows: Mild ptosis occurs when the nipple is parallel to the inframammary fold, positioned below the fold but above the lowest point of the breast. The nipple is located at the lowest point of the breast. However, in some cases of ptosis, especially those with hypertrophy in the distal breast, even if ptosis is not severe, the breast position may still not be at the lowest point of the breast. Such cases should also be classified as Grade III ptosis.
Furthermore, the surgical procedure to correct sagging breasts and restore breast elasticity is known as breast ptosis correction. In developed countries, this surgery is as common as breast augmentation. For mild ptosis, breast augmentation can replenish lost fat and reduce wrinkles on the breast. However, in more severe cases, tissue resection is necessary to restore breast elasticity.
It is crucial to undergo surgery at a reputable, well-established plastic surgery hospital to ensure safety and prevent complications.
