Breast Lift: Things To Know About The Procedure

In the realm of plastic surgery a breast lift is known as a mastopexy. This is a type of surgery that lifts and reshapes the bosom. This type of cosmetic procedure is routinely done on female patients whose breasts have begun to sag and hang too low as a result of gravity, pregnancy and/or aging. The lift procedure can also be done on women who are bothered by having areolas that are too large. 

You do not have to endure a sagging chest or areolas that age you beyond your years. A plastic surgeon can fix the problem for you and restore your look to lovelier and younger than before. 

There are occasions when a lift and augmentation (i.e. implants) are performed at the same time. However it is perfectly fine to choose to have a lift but not to want implants. Talk with the surgeon before you schedule your surgery to decide whether you need both of the procedures or just the one. If you do opt for both at once then your breasts will seem as though they have been reborn afterwards. To put it another way, they will look youthful, shapely and larger while also being firmer and in the position on your body where nature intended them to be! 

It is worth noting that not all ladies are suitable prospects for a mastopexy. If you want this type of plastic surgery or indeed any kind of plastic work then you need to be in excellent physical condition. The healthier you are the better. This also pertains to your mental health as well. If you have not have children yet but want them then the lift will have to wait.

This operation is not suitable for women who have not finished having babies yet. It also should go without saying that you cannot schedule a breast lift while you are still in the process of breastfeeding your infant son or daughter. Yet again wait until you are finished. 

Besides being in top notch health, an ideal candidate for this surgical procedure is a female who has less elasticity in her chest than she used to and one who has stretched skin in this area. This surgery is for grown up women and not young girls. If you are 18 years of age or younger than it is likely you will have to wait until you are older. Not only will you not be finished having babies yet but most cosmetic surgeons will not do this surgery for a young woman who still may have some growing left to do.
