Procedure
What is breast lift?
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes and lifts the breasts. The surgery is usually done on women who have lost a significant amount of weight and their breasts have become droopy or deflated.
Let's Schedule Your Appointment
A breast lift surgery can be done using different techniques depending on what the surgeon feels would work best for the individual patient. One technique is to remove excess skin from underneath the breasts, tighten the surrounding tissues, and then reposition them higher on your chest wall. Another technique is to remove excess skin from above or below your breasts and then tighten them in place.
Breast lifts can also be done using implants as well as fat grafting, which involves removing fat from one part of your body and transferring it to another area such as your buttocks or thighs. This can result in fuller looking breasts
A Breast lift will be performed in our surgical center under local or general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon may choose from a variety of surgical procedures and will discuss with the patient different options depending upon what changes are desired. Prior to surgery, the breasts are carefully marked to indicate where incisions are to be made and premedication to relax the patient is administered.
One of the most frequently used techniques involves incisions made on both sides of the breast and around the areola. A keyhole incision is then made directly above the nipple. The cosmetic surgeon works through the incisions to remove excess skin from the lower part of the breast. The nipple, areola, and underlying tissue are then re-positioned into a new, higher location, and the skin from both sides of the nipple is brought down and sutured together to reshape the breast.
A modified procedure can be done on patients who have minimal sagging. This involves removal of skin from the areola and surrounding areas. When breast augmentation is performed in conjunction with mastopexy, a breast implant is placed in a pocket created under the breast tissue or the muscle of the chest wall. Breast lift surgery can last 2 or more hours, depending on the patient and procedure.
Following breast lift surgery, the patient will wear either special garments or bandages. These are usually replaced in a few days with a surgical bra which is worn for several weeks. Pain after the breast lift is minimal to moderate and can be controlled with oral medication prescribed to you after surgery. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection. Instructions for the day of surgery include bed rest and limited activities. The day of surgery will include bed rest and limited activities. Strenuous exercise and overhead lifting must be avoided for several weeks and the physician will determine when normal activities can be resumed.
Recovery
Following the surgery, a gauze dressing is placed on the breast and covered with a tight elastic bandage or surgical bra. This helps reduce swelling. There is the possibility of infection following any surgery. Your surgeon will likely prescribe antibiotics to avoid infection in addition to any pain medication. Stitches are removed in 3 to 5 days, at which time a softer, support bra is worn over a gauze dressing 24 hours a day for 3 to 4 weeks. Swelling, bruising and numbness, particularly around the incision, are normal and generally subside over 6 weeks. Most patients return to work in 7 to 10 days, but must avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for 4 weeks.Why Meditore ?
