Breast Lift
As you're age has gone up have you discovered that your breasts have gone down?
Sagging breasts are a sign of aging and like fine lines and wrinkles they too can be treated and enhanced with a breast lift cosmetic surgery procedure. A breast lift can not only lift your breasts, but also leave you feeling younger and more confident.
A sculpted augmented breast lift with an implant is used to create a pleasing shape that allows for fullness at the upper part of the breast with nice cleavage. Your breast should be able to support itself and have no need for a bra.
Candidates for this procedure should be physically healthy and realistic in their expectations. This cosmetic procedure can be done using local anesthesia and sedation or with general anesthesia. The procedure itself typically takes about two hours to perform, along with an additional two hours spent in recovery.
The breast implant may be placed either underneath the breast tissue itself or underneath the pectoral muscle. The implants are then centered beneath the nipples and the incisions are sutured closed.
You can expect to experience some discomfort, but you will be given prescription pain medication to help control the pain. Your breasts will be bandaged for the first two or three days, after which a support bra or sports bra should be worn for about four weeks. However, you should avoid wearing push-up or underwire bra during this time. Daily breast massage is recommended during recovery. Though the breasts will appear unusually high in the first few weeks after surgery, they will eventually settle into place.
Bruising and swelling can occur, and the swelling will fade within three to five weeks. The stitches are typically removed within seven to ten days. You should be able to return to work and other normal activities within a few days, though physical contact with the breasts should be avoided for three to four weeks. The duration of implants is variable as they may require removal or replacement at any time.
