Breast lift

If you are satisfied with the size of your breasts but wish to

restore a more youthful contour, you may be a candidate for

breast lift. If you have lost considerable volume in your breasts

you may also want to consider having saline or cohesive gel

breast implants inserted at the time of breast lift surgery.

 

While a breast lift can be performed at any age it is

recommended that the procedure be undertaken only when

breast development has stopped. Childbirth and breast-feeding

can have a significant effect on the size and shape of your

breasts.

 

 

 

 

Though some women decide to have their breast lift or breast reduction before having children, you should discuss any plans to breast-feed with your plastic surgeon.

 

In assessing you as a candidate for breast surgery, your

doctor will carefully check the size and shape of your breasts,

the quality of your skin, and the placement of the nipples and

areolas. If you are overweight, your plastic surgeon may

suggest that you stabilize your weight before having surgery.

 

There are variations to the incisions used for breast lifting. The

traditional method of lifting the breast uses 3 incisions: one

around the areola, the second vertically from the bottom edge

of the areola to the crease under the breast and the third along

the natural curve of the breast crease.

 

 

 

 

Your plastic surgeon will inform you which incisions are most appropriate for you.

 

After excess skin is removed, the nipple and areola are moved

to a higher position. Skin that was located above the nipple

pre-surgery is pulled down. Together these two maneuvers

give a new shape to the breast. Liposuction may also be used

to improve the contour under the arm.

 

Because the nipples and areolas remain attached to the breast

tissue, sensation in this area is preserved most of the time, but

numbness does occur occasionally.

 

There are normally few complications from breast lift surgery.

 

 

 

 

 

However, some of the possible complications include bleeding,

infection and reactions to anesthesia. The breasts may not be

exactly the same or nipple height may vary after surgery.

 

Several days after surgery you will be able to move about

comfortably. You may be instructed to wear a support bra

for a few weeks, until the swelling and discoloration of your

breasts diminishes. Incisions will be red at first and normally

stay this way for several months following surgery. After

breast lift or reduction surgery, it is usually possible to return

to work within a month.
