What is a breast lift?

Breast lift surgery is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the breasts by removing excess skin and fat from around the nipples and areola. This can make them look larger and more contoured, giving you a more youthful appearance. The results of a breast lift depend on many factors, including your age, body type, and breast size.

Before surgery: If you’re considering a breast lift, your doctor will likely ask you to take before pictures so they can create a realistic depiction of what your breasts will look like after surgery. You may also be asked to undergo an imaging test (such as an MRI or CT scan) that can help determine if removal of excess skin is necessary.
The surgery: Breast lift procedures typically involve removal of excess skin and fat along with slight corrections to the position of the breasts. The amount and type of correction depends on your individual case history and health status. Surgery typically takes about two hours to complete and you may require some form of post-operative pain medication for several days afterward. However, most patients report minimal discomfort following surgery and experience excellent results in terms of their appearance!
Results: After surgery, many patients find their newly enhanced breasts feel lighter and more natural than before. In addition, their self-esteem may improve thanks to improved symmetry and proportionality around the chest area. Depending on your goals, you may be able to enjoy increased activity levels without embarrassment or concern about revealing too much skin; alternatively, you might prefer to

Types of breast lifts

There are a variety of breast lift procedures that can be performed on female patients. The most common types are the traditional mastectomy, the transaxillary approach, and the periareolar approach.

The traditional mastectomy is the most common type of breast lift procedure and involves removing all of the breasts except for a small amount of fatty tissue around the nipple. The transaxillary approach is similar to the traditional mastectomy but it uses small incisions on either side of the chest instead of through the skin. The periareolar approach uses smaller incisions near the armpit. All three types of breast lifts require hospitalization and usually involve several weeks of recovery time.

The results of a breast lift vary depending on which procedure is used and how much excess skin is removed. Traditional mastectomies typically result in a more natural appearance with minimal scarring, while transaxillary approaches tend to produce less visible scars and are less invasive. Periareolar procedures may result in more noticeable scars but also provide superior cosmetic results compared to traditional or transaxillary procedures.

Before surgery: preparing for your breast lift

If you’re considering a breast lift surgery, there are some things you need to do before scheduling your appointment. Here are some tips:

1. Consult with a Plastic Surgeon or Breastlift surgeon to see if a breast lift is right for you. There are many different types of breast lifts and the best one for you may not be the same as the surgery your friend has had.

2. Make a list of your expectations for the surgery and what you would like to achieve. Are you looking to adjust the size, shape or position of your breasts? What do you want people to say about your new look? Answer these questions honestly so that all parties involved (you, your surgeon and potential post-operative rehabilitation) know what to expect.

3. Prepare yourself physically and emotionally for Surgery by getting plenty of rest, eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of fluids before Surgery. You should also schedule an appointment with a Personal Trainer after Surgery to help rehabilitate your body back into its pre-surgery state as quickly and comfortably as possible.

The Breast Lift Surgery Recovery Timeline

Most patients report feeling relatively well within 3-4 days following their surgery. Some people may experience mild soreness and discomfort for a few days, but should begin to feel much better by Day 5 or 6. Most people resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks except for people who have significant swelling or scarring. It is important to keep weight off the surgical area for 6-8 weeks post-op. Full physical therapy typically begins at 4-6 weeks post-op. Patients are encouraged to return to work gradually and avoid any heavy lifting tasks at first. There is no set time frame as to when patients can resume full activity; it depends on the individual’s individual recovery timeline and condition.

The Breast Lift Surgery Cost

There is no definite formula as to how much breast lift surgery costs, but it typically ranges from $7,000-$12,000 with an average cost of around $10,000. Insurance usually covers a portion of the cost, so please speak with your doctor about your specific case before booking your appointment!

Recovery after surgery: following up on your breast lift

Following up on a breast lift surgery is important to ensure a successful outcome. Here are four tips to follow:
1. Be patient – your results will come slowly but surely. It may take up to six months for your skin to adapt and firmer breasts to form.
2. See your surgeon regularly – Drs. Denner and Wolfson highly recommend seeing them every four weeks for the first few months and then every two weeks thereafter until you reach your final goal size.
3. Apply sunscreens – even if you’re not in the sun, you need to apply sunscreen daily because the scarring from surgery can cause skin cancer [source: American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery].
4. Avoid weight gain – while you’re recovering, be sure not to put on any extra pounds, as this can make your breasts slouch or droop down [source: American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery].
