What Is a Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that elevates and re-shapes sagging breasts, resulting in a more youthful look and feel. Many women experience breast sagging as they age, and this procedure provides a highly effective solution. To perform a lift, a surgeon removes the excess skin that has caused the breasts to sag. All breast lifts are customized to meet the needs of each individual patient.
Surgeons will determine the most appropriate technique based on the patient’s breast size, breast shape, amount of sagging, size and position of areolas, and skin quality. Breast lifts do not increase size, but will provide a more voluminous and symmetrical appearance. If a patient wishes to enhance their breast size, they may opt to have implants inserted during this procedure.
Why Choose a Breast Lift?
There are many reasons women undergo breast lift surgery. Regardless of the cause, this procedure is clinically proven to correct numerous cosmetic breast issues. Also, the surgery and recovery period are both relatively quick and consistently yield beautiful results.
Problems Corrected by Breast Lift
- Drooping breasts
- Loss of contour after pregnancy or nursing
- Asymmetrical breasts
- Loss of height and volume
Quick Procedure and Recovery Period
Breast lifts are performed as outpatient surgeries and are typically completed within one to two hours. Patients have the luxury of returning home the same day and can usually return to work after about four days. It’s important to take it easy in the weeks after surgery, but most patients can even return to their gym workout routine within three to four weeks after surgery.
Beautiful Results
Most women who have undergone a breast lift are thrilled with the results. Not only do they love the improved look of their breasts, many also report feeling better physically. Patients can enjoy wearing clothes and bras that wouldn’t fit previously, enjoy improved posture, and an overall boost of confidence.
