Breast Lift - Getting Rid of Sagging Breasts

A breast lift can be one of the best ways to get rid of the sag that develops after having children and just from aging. It may or may not be possible for you to have this procedure, depending on various circumstances surrounding your health and well being. However, many people do have the ability to benefit from this procedure and they will see improvements in the way they look after having it done. What is it? Can it help you to get perky breasts again? 

Consider the Options

If you are dealing with sagging breasts, there are often several options you and your doctor can use to enhance your ability to get the lift you want. For many, the use of implants it the best route to take. This reduces the amount of scarring the most compared to other types of procedures, and it is easy to control the amount and size of the implant, as well as the results. Another option is the circumareola lifting procedure. In this procedure, the scarring affects only the area around the areola. The next step up, in terms of scarring levels, is the vertical limited incision lifting procedure. It is often called the lollipop incision because it goes around the areola and then from the very bottom of it to the fold in the breasts, in a vertical motion. Yet another option for those with severe sagging is the use of an anchor type incision, which uses both a vertical incision as well as a transversal incision that moves along the inframammary fold.

What to Think About

If you are considering a breast lift, know what your options are. However, know that your options may be different from what your friend's options are. The underlying concern here is that your condition is going to require something different. The only way to know what type of lifting incision or method is best is to see a plastic surgeon and to learn about the options available. Here are some additional things to think about.

• What is your ultimate goal, larger breasts or improvement of the tissue's consistency?

• Are you healthy enough to avoid any risk factors associated with the surgical procedure? The more invasive the procedure is, the more possible risks can be. 

• Are you looking for a procedure that is fast and easy to manage? If so, the breast lift may not be the right one since it is more invasive.

Talk to your plastic surgeon about your options before moving forward. The initial consultation is an opportunity for you to determine what your options are, based on what you tell your doctor about. Often, your doctor can offer ideas and options to help you to cut down on the amount of invasive procedures necessary but give you the type of boost you are looking for. Again, this procedure is not for everyone, but for those that it is used for, it can be one of the best ways to get the younger, perkier breasts you are after.
