What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. It can be performed alone or combined with other cosmetic surgeries, such as breast augmentation. Excess skin is removed during the procedure, and the remaining tissue is tightened, raising the breasts to a more youthful position. The goal is to improve breast shape, enhance symmetry, and provide a natural contour.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
This cosmetic surgery is ideal for women experiencing breast sagging due to aging, pregnancy, weight loss, or genetics. Good candidates are in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. If you want to improve the position and firmness of your breasts without adding volume, this procedure might be perfect for you.
What Should I Know?
Before your surgery, you will consult with one of our expert surgeons to discuss your goals and expectations. We’ll provide detailed information on the procedure, answer any questions, and review your medical history. To ensure optimal healing, it’s important to stop smoking and avoid certain medications prior to surgery. The cost will vary depending on your needs, but we offer financing plans to make it accessible.
What Should I Expect of my Breast Lift?
A breast lift typically takes between two and three hours. You’ll receive general anesthesia for comfort. Depending on the extent of the lift needed, incisions are made around the areola and possibly along the breast crease. Scarring is minimal, and most will fade significantly over time.
How Long is Recovery?
Recovery from a breast lift usually takes about one to two weeks. Most patients return to light activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous exercises for at least four to six weeks. Our team will provide a personalized recovery plan to ensure optimal healing.
Are the Results Permanent?
While the results are long-lasting, no surgery can fully prevent the effects of aging and gravity. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help extend the longevity of your results. Many women enjoy their new shape for years after the procedure.
Considerations
It’s important to understand that while this cosmetic procedure improves the shape and position of your breasts, it doesn’t significantly change their size. Combining the lift with breast augmentation may be recommended if you want to add volume. How much is a breast lift? The cost depends on the complexity of the surgery and whether additional procedures are involved. Our team is happy to discuss pricing and financing options with you.
