What is Breast Lift Surgery?
It is an elective surgery designed to improve the firmness and position of breast to give a younger look. The female breasts lose their firmness and ten to sag downwards due to various reasons like aging, gravity, pregnancy and feeding, sudden fluctuations in weight etc. The loose sagging breasts diminish the confidence of women. Breast lift surgery or mastopexy as it is known medically corrects the position of sagging breasts thus enhancing the personality of the female.
What does Breast Lift Surgery do?
The surgery tightens the breasts and raises the position of breasts on the chest wall, in proportion to the upper body. It repositions the nipples and also reduces the areola region if it is large in proportion to the breast size. The surgery is helpful in correcting pendulous breasts with large volume and those with breast asymmetry. The surgery does not increase the breast size. For increasing the breast size the surgeon may combine breast augmentation along with breast lift surgery. Mastopexy gives a complete makeover to women’s breast by increasing its firmness and contour, and imparts a more youthful appearance. Breast lift surgery can be combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction or breast reconstruction surgeries as is desired by the patient.
Recovery after Surgery
Since the surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia, the patient will have to stay in the hospital for one night. The breasts will be painful and bruised and covered with gauge dressing. A well supportive and fitting bra helps to reduce the discomfort. Pain killers to be taken only on doctor’s advice. Normal routine activities can be resumed 2-3 days after surgery, but strenuous exercises and activities should be deferred till 2 weeks at least. The effect of surgery lasts for several years, however aging and gravity can causes sagging breasts again. Women generally opt for this surgery after their family is complete.
