We hear the term breast lift flying around but what exactly is it and what is done? Perhaps it’s just what you need to perk things up again. Another word for a breast lift is “mastopexy” and the procedure takes anywhere from 1 ½ hours to 3 hours.
There are a variety of techniques that are used to lift the breast. Your surgeon will choose what’s right for you. If you have smaller breasts you will have minimal sagging which makes you a candidate for the modified surgery. The doughnut is one of those surgeries and it results in minimal scar tissue.
If you have implants and need a breast lift it will need to go deeper into the chest wall muscle to get the lift. If you lack the necessary breast tissue for a breast lift your surgeon may suggest breast implants.
After your surgery your surgeon will see you usually on day 5. The sutures dissolve so you don’t have to worry about having them removed, except for just a couple of top stitches. You will then be seen again at 3 week, 2 months, 6 months, and then yearly from your anniversary date.
If you are healthy, realistic, and emotionally stable you are a good candidate for a breast lift. The best results are seen in women that have small breasts that are sagging, but any size breast can be lifted. Of course the larger and heavier the breast the less lasting the procedure. It’s a good idea to wait until you are not going to be having any more children.
The cost may vary but they do include the surgeon’s fee, hospital and anesthesia fee. You will be given an estimate by your surgeon. Most require a portion of the charge paid up front which reserves your surgery time.
A breast lift can do a lot for you and generally the procedure is much cheaper than a full breast augmentation. Be sure to consider all your options.
