Breast Lift - Your Guide to Firmer Looking Breasts

Get a breast lift from a board certified plastic surgeon to enhance your bosom and make it firmer. The procedure tightens this area as well. Your bosom can begin to sag over time. The surgery, however, will not make your bosom fuller. The surgery is advised for healthy women who are healthy, are nonsmokers, and would like a solution to a sagging bosom. Women with a large pendulous bosom may see an improvement after receiving the surgery. The surgery can also help correct problems in which one breast is larger than the other. 

During your consultation, your doctor will explain the surgery. You can discuss how you would like your bosom to look after the surgery. You will generally be able to breastfeed after the surgery, but a doctor will be able to give you his thoughts based on your particular case.

Women who have lost a dramatic amount of weight may use this surgery to tighten their bosom. Sometimes extreme weight loss results in sagging skin throughout the body, including the bosom area. If you are in the process of losing a great deal of weight, the doctor may ask you to wait until your weight is more consistent before having the surgery. 

The doctor will review your medical records and ask you if you have had any irregular biopsies or mammograms. He will also want to be aware of medications that you take, allergies, and medical problems. It's a good idea to sit down and think about this information before your visit. Write down what you know, listing your prescriptions and your medical history. This act may save you time when completing paperwork and give you a better focus when discussing the information with your doctor. 

During the surgery, your doctor may make incisions, remove excess skin, and reposition your areola. The doctor will shape your breast into the desired shape. Because your nipples probably will not be detached, you are more likely to feel sensation in them following the surgery. The placement of the incisions will vary, according to your circumstance and the doctor's technique. 

You can have your bosom enlarged in addition to receiving a lift. The doctor would insert implants into your bosom, in this case. If you decide to have an enlargement in addition to a breast lift, the doctor will discuss implant options for that portion of the surgery. 

Consider having your breast lift procedure completed by a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with this procedure. Complications are rare, but can include an uneven bosom, bleeding, or an infection. Having an experienced surgeon to complete your surgery may lower the risk for some of the complications. Be sure to take any prescriptions that the doctor recommends and follow his advice to prepare for the surgery and your recovery period.
