Breast Lift: Finding Your Perkiness Again
Breast lift surgery might be the right choice for you if you have developed pendulous breasts, or breasts that lack firmness, or nipples and areolas that point downward or now below the crease of the breasts. When each breast develops in a different way, one breast may remain firm and shapely while the other one droops. This is actually typical as the majority of women’s breasts tend to be uneven in size and placement. Breast lifts for smaller breasts tend to see more long term results from a breast lift than larger breasts do.
Breast lift surgery can be performed in unison with a breast augmentation lift, but each one is also viable when done separately.
Usually the procedure usually employs three incisions, one around the areola, another line from the areola to the breast crease (also known as a lollipop incision), and the last incision runs along the bottom of the breast. The cosmetic surgeon removes excess skin and moves the nipple and areola upward to accommodate the shift in the breast. The skin that was originally above the areola is used to cover the bottom half of the breast, reshaping and lifting the breast.
For a breast augmentation lift, breast implants are inserted during the surgery to make corrections to the shape of each breast and to guarantee shape and firmness of the resulting breasts.
You should avoid vigorous activity for the first week after the surgery. Within a few days you should be able to move around comfortably. You will be given a surgical bra and plenty of gauze and dressings for you to clean and change out daily. Rubbing Vitamin E oil on the incisions should help you reduce long-term scarring, which results in long-term satisfaction with your surgery.
