Breast Lift

    1.    What is a breast lift (mastopexy)?
A breast lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts, giving them a firmer and more youthful appearance by removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue.
    2.    Who is a good candidate for a breast lift?
Women who have experienced sagging due to pregnancy, weight loss, aging, or genetics, and are in good health, are ideal candidates.
    3.    How is a breast lift performed?
Incisions are made around and under the breast, excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple is repositioned higher on the breast.
    4.    What should I do before the surgery?
Avoid smoking, stop taking blood-thinning medications, and follow the pre-surgery instructions provided by your doctor.
    5.    How long does a breast lift surgery take?
The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on the specific approach.
    6.    Will I feel pain during the surgery?
No, breast lifts are performed under general anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure.
    7.    What is the recovery time after a breast lift?
Initial recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks, but full healing can take several months.
    8.    Will there be visible scars after a breast lift?
Incisions are typically around or under the breast, so scars are usually hidden and fade over time.
    9.    What are the risks associated with a breast lift?
Risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, loss of sensation, and asymmetry, but these are minimized with an experienced surgeon.
    10.    Will my breasts look natural after the surgery?
Yes, when performed with the right technique, the breasts will have a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
    11.    What precautions should I take after the surgery?
Avoid physical activities, wear a supportive bra, and follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions.
    12.    Is a breast lift permanent?
Yes, but factors like aging, weight fluctuations, and gravity can affect the appearance of the breasts over time.
    13.    Will a breast lift affect breastfeeding?
In most cases, milk ducts are preserved, but in some instances, there may be changes in breastfeeding ability. It’s important to discuss this with your doctor beforehand.
    14.    Will there be swelling or bruising after the surgery?
Mild swelling and bruising may occur initially but typically subside over time.
    15.    When can I return to work after a breast lift?
Most people can return to daily activities within 1-2 weeks, though full recovery time may vary.
