What Is Breast-Lift Surgery? How Can It Be Beneficial For You?

Your breasts play a key role in your anatomy as well as your beauty. Sometimes, having small or sagging breasts can cause you to lose self-confidence and compare yourself with others. It can be painful to feel the pain of large breasts. Your neck, shoulders, and back muscles are constantly under tension and cannot relax. Bust lifting products such as push-ups or bust shaping can help, but they won’t last. Breast Lift Surgery is the best permanent solution for giving your breasts a lift and youthful contour.

Breast Lift Surgery

Mastopexy also called a breast lift, is a procedure that raises the breasts. This involves removing excess skin from the breasts and tightening the surrounding tissue to give the breasts a more youthful contour. This procedure can also be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation, breast liposuction, and breast reduction.

What Are The Steps Of Breast Lift Surgery?

Anesthesia

You will be given medication during surgery to help you feel comfortable. You have two choices: intravenous or general anesthesia. After reviewing your medical history, and taking into consideration your current condition, your surgeon may recommend this option.

Making Incisions

There Are 3 Types Of Incisions

All around the areola.
Vertically from the areola to your breast crease, around the areola.
Round the areola. Vertically, along the breast crease. Horizontally along the breast crease.

Once Your Surgeon Has Successfully Made The Incisions:

To improve breast contour and firmness, the underlying tissue of the breast is lifted and reshaped.
The nipple and areola have been repositioned to a more natural, youthful height.
The skin around the perimeter can be removed to reduce the size of any enlarged areolas.
Extra breast skin can be removed to make up for the loss in elasticity.

Closing Incisions

After trimming the breasts, and removing excess fat from the abdomen, the fat remaining is compressed. The incisions are then closed.

Some incision lines, which result in the breast crease, are hidden within the breast’s natural contours. Others are visible on the breast surface. While incision lines can last a lifetime, they can become stronger or less noticeable over time.

Many women want the least amount of scarring possible. Your surgeon may recommend the best incisions for you.

To strengthen and protect breasts that are newly formed, sutures are inserted into the breast tissue. Sutures, skin adhesives or surgical tape may be used to cover the skin.

After The Breast Lift Surgery

The surgeon will remove any drainages and bandages at the follow-up appointment on the first or second days after your breast lift. The surgeon will also inspect the nipple to ensure that it is healthy.

You can expect some discomfort for the first few days after your surgery. A special bra or pressure garment would be recommended by your doctor to give you support during recovery. In the first week, you might need to take pain medication.

Within 2 weeks, your surgeon can remove any remaining stitches. Because they are absorbable, all stitches don’t have to be taken out. As you age, your breast shape and size will improve.

You might notice slight differences in the symmetry of the breasts. If this is the case, the surgeon will perform a minor operation to correct the position of the nipple. You must follow the instructions of your surgeon and limit your activity during recovery. Also, it is vital to promptly report any side effects.
