What a Breast Lift Can Do For You

Everyone agrees that there is more to life than appearances. How we look is important, but there is more to life. The only problem with that theory is that so often, for so many of us, our sense of self-worth is tied to how we feel that others perceive us. We are painfully aware of how our friends, family, and colleagues regard the way we look, and more importantly, how we want them to regard us. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be more attractive and by the same token, feel more attractive. For many women, breasts are an integral part of their physical appeal. Unfortunately, not all women are endowed by nature with perfect breasts. For women who may feel that improvement would benefit them, there are cosmetic surgical procedures available that can make a remarkable difference. For example, a breast lift is designed to re-contour and reshape the breasts, lifting them, adding volume and perkiness.

Genetics doesn’t always play a role in the size and shape of breasts. A number of external factors can have a negative impact on a woman’s breasts over time. Loss of elasticity in the skin due to ageing, pregnancy and breastfeeding, the gain and loss of weight can all contribute. When the breast tissue is stretched, it weakens, and it may not have the elasticity to revert to its original shape. This is why breastfeeding often leaves a woman with sagging and drooping breasts. A breast lift procedure is an excellent method to regain your original shape and contours.

The procedure entails lifting the breasts to give them a firmer look. This involves removing extra skin, rearranging the curvature of the breasts and relocating the areolas and nipples. The nipples and areolas are never detached during the surgery. Increased volume is attained via insertion of the implants. The entire process usually runs between two and four hours. After the surgery, it is recommended that upper body activity is limited for the first two weeks. The scars will be noticeable for a time but will begin to fade.

Self-esteem is incontrovertibly linked to our appearance. We want to be attractive, and when we feel that we are, we feel good about ourselves. When we feel that we are not, the opposite is true. It stands to reason then that if a woman is self-conscious about the appearance of her breasts, her self-esteem will suffer. It is needless to feel this way when professional medical help is available.
