If you’re considering breast lift surgery, you may have a lot of questions and concerns. Breast lift surgery can be a major decision, and it’s important that you have all the information you need to make an educated decision. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about breast lift surgery.

What is a breast lift?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to give the breasts a more youthful, perky appearance.

Who is a good candidate for a breast lift?

Most women who are in good overall health and who have realistic expectations are good candidates for a breast lift. The best candidates are women who have sagging breasts due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, age, or significant weight loss.

How long does a breast lift procedure take?

The length of the surgery will depend on the extent of the procedure. Generally, a breast lift takes between two and three hours.

What types of anesthesia are used during a breast lift?

The type of anesthesia used during a breast lift procedure will depend on the patient and the surgeon. Generally, general anesthesia or intravenous sedation is used. The type of anesthesia used will be discussed during your initial consultation.

What kind of incisions are made during a breast lift?

The type of incisions made during a breast lift will depend on the extent of the procedure. Generally, the incisions are made in the crease beneath the breast, around the areola, and in the armpit. The incisions may also be made along the breast crease so that the nipple can be repositioned.

What type of scarring can I expect after a breast lift?

The type of scarring you can expect after a breast lift will depend on the type of incisions made. Generally, the incisions will heal to form a thin white line. The scarring will fade over time, and the incisions are usually well-hidden beneath clothing.

How long will I need to take off work after a breast lift?

The recovery time after a breast lift will vary depending on the extent of the procedure. Generally, you can expect to take off one to two weeks off work to allow for proper recovery.

What can I expect during the recovery period?

During the recovery period, you should expect some discomfort and swelling. Your surgeon will provide you with instructions to help minimize the discomfort. You should also expect to wear a surgical bra or bandage for a few weeks to support your breasts.

What kind of results can I expect after a breast lift?

The results of a breast lift will vary depending on the individual, but generally, you can expect to see a perkier, more youthful-looking breast shape. The results of the surgery will be visible immediately and will continue to improve over time.

Is a breast lift permanent?

The results of a breast lift are not permanent. Factors such as age, weight gain or loss, and pregnancy can affect the results of the surgery. To maintain the results of the surgery, it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Now that you have some answers to your questions about breast lift surgery, you can make an educated decision about whether or not this procedure is right for you. For more information, it is important to speak to your surgeon and to ask any additional questions you may have.
