Medical Procedure: Breast Lift Medical Name: Mastopexy What to Expect from a breast lift: The objective of the breast lift procedure is to bring saggy, droopy, or pendulous breasts to a higher position on the chest by removing excess skin and fat with minimal scarring. Description of Breast Lift Surgery: The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will determine the best method that will achieve your desired end results. Incisions will be made according to the size of your breasts. Incisions are either made around the areola, vertically from the bottom of the breast up to the areola, or horizontally, following the natural contour of the area underneath the breast. The surgeon will remove the excess skin that causes the breasts to sag. If necessary the areola will be reduced in size. The nipple and areola are then shifted to a higher position, still remaining attached to the underlying tissue to preserve sensation and the ability to breast feed. The incisions are then sewn together with either dissolving or removable stitches, in which case you may or may not need to return to the hospital or a doctor in your home country to have them removed. This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day, however your doctor may require that you stay overnight in the hospital. Good Candidates for a Breast Lift: Breasts should be fully developed before deciding to have lifted. The minimum age requirement of this surgery should be 18. People with drooping breasts, nipples that are pointing downwards, or one breast that is better positioned than the other might elect to have this operation. Average Duration of Breast Lift Surgery: 3-4 hours Estimated Recovery Time: You will be able to move about within 2 days of your surgery, but you will not be fully healed in less than a month. I can return to work within: 1-2 weeks I should see the complete result of my surgery within: several weeks, depending on the time it takes for the swelling and bruising to dissipate. Pain Factor: Patients are typically under general anesthesia during this procedure, however local anesthesia, or a combination of local anesthesia with sedation are also options. Swelling, bruising and soreness are to be expected. Over-the-counter medications may be used to relieve pain and soreness after the surgery. Your doctor will prescribe you a higher dose pain killer if necessary. Any anti-inflammatory or blood thinning medications, such as aspirin should be avoided. Potential Side Effects/Risks associated with Breast Lift Surgery: Allergic reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, unwanted scarring, infection, temporary numbness, soreness, swelling, bruising, itchiness, dryness, stiffness, slight discoloration around the breast area (temporary), loss in sensation, over-sensitivity.
