B reast east lift surgery is a surgical procedure to restore the breasts to a higher, more youthful position on the chest wall, which is achieved by reshaping and repairing existing breast tissue to create a round, plump breast profile, and may include surgically repositioning or reshaping the nipple structure.
Why consider a breast lift?
Life Forte Plastics And Taani Universal Transformations perform breast lift surgery in Houston to address a range of breast issues, including:
-
The effects of gravity and aging
-
Weight changes
-
Drooping breasts
-
Nipples pointing downwards
-
Sagging as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding
-
Sagging breasts
-
Breasts that appear deflated
Over time, the skin loses its elasticity while breast volume may decrease, causing breasts to sag and droop lower on the chest. A breast lift surgically removes excess skin and repositions the breasts for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
What is the breast lift procedure?
Every breast lift performed by Life Forte Plastics And Taani Universal Transformations is customized to match the needs of the patient. The first step is an evaluation of your breasts to determine how to approach surgery, with three different types of incisions that may be employed.
In addition to tightening the breast skin and surgically removing excess skin and tissue, our doctors also repositions the nipples to a natural front-facing breast location. In many cases, the areolas are resized to create a natural, balanced location and shape for stretched or overlarge nipples.
-
The anchor incision is the most common breast lift incision. This incision circles the areola, travels vertically down to the crease at the bottom of the breast and follows the curve of the breast on either side. While this technique is the most involved, it also provides the most lift and can be highly effective for women with large breasts and a considerable degree of ptosis.
-
The lollipop incision circles the areola and travels vertically down to the crease at the bottom of the breast, ending there.
-
The circumareolar incision circles around the areola and does not scar the rest of the breast. While this technique can leave the breasts virtually scarless it is usually only effective for women with a mild degree of sagging.
Am I a candidate for breast lift?
Women who benefit from a breast lift procedure usually have some degree of ptosis, the technical term for breast sagging, often characterized by nipples that point downward.
Many candidates for a breast lift at Life Forte Plastics And Taani Universal Transformations , technically called mastopexy, have loose breast skin or breasts that sag and droop. While women with naturally moderate to large breasts tend to experience the most extreme degree of sagging, even women with small breasts can have breasts that appear loose, empty, and saggy.
Many women choose to combine a breast lift with augmentation to restore the position of their breasts while also increasing volume. Many women also may undergo a breast lift as part of a custom mommy makeover.
After surgery – the rules.
You will need to avoid certain motions, including bending, lifting, stretching, or straining. Your stitches will be removed when the incision has healed, generally within a week or ten days from your procedure. Arrange for another person to help you during the first few days after your procedure, and plan on resting so your body can heal. Drink plenty of liquids and take gentle walks. You will be restricted from exercise for about four to six weeks. Plan on taking three to four days off from work.
Silicone breast implants
Silicone breast implants are comprised of an outer silicone shell filled with a cohesive gel, also made of silicone. The cohesive silicone gel has a gummy bear-like texture, which many women and plastic surgeons alike feel better resembles the feel of natural breast tissue.
Silicone breast implants are the top choice for the majority of women who have breast augmentation. In particular, women with naturally small breasts who do not have an ample amount of natural breast tissue to provide coverage for the implant can benefit from the natural feel of silicone implants.
Because the gel that is used to make the filling for silicone implants is cohesive, these breast implants do not deflate in the rare event of a rupture. This means that a breach in the implant shell is not always obviously detectable. The FDA recommends that women with silicone implants have an MRI every three years in order to detect any issues. However, most women with silicone implants can enjoy their breast augmentation results for many years without complications.
Advantages ofsilicone implants
Silicone implants offer the following advantages:
-
Feel and look natural
-
The weight and “give” is similar to natural breast tissue
-
Less prone to rippling
-
Available in a wide range of sizes
Saline breast implants
Saline breast implants are comprised of an outer silicone shell filled with a sterile saline solution. Saline implants have a firmer feel than their silicone counterparts and often are used to create a high, rounded look.
Saline implants may be more prone to rippling than silicone implants. Rippling is the folds of the implants that can sometimes be seen through the skin. In the event of a rupture, the liquid filling of saline implants makes rupture immediately noticeable, as the implant deflates right away. Saline implants are a popular choice for a wide range of women.
The advantages of saline include:
-
Saline breast implants can be filled with their saltwater solution after insertion into the breast pocket. This allows Dr. Kim to use a slightly smaller incision to place the implants than is required for silicone implants.
-
Because saline implants can be filled to a custom-tailored volume, they can be particularly popular options for women concerned with breast asymmetry.
What can I expect in recovery time?
Most patients find the recovery from breast augmentation easier anticipated, with many only needing a few days off from work. many start feeling back to normal a few days after surgery, it's essential to follow restrictions for proper healing. Avoid lifting anything over ten pounds for the first three weeks after surgery. It is also advised to keep incisions out of water and to refrain from swimming for at least three weeks. Exercise should be avoided for a minimum of four weeks, and upper body workouts should be postponed for six weeks or until cleared by our healthcare professional. Following aftercare instructions closely will support your healing process and help achieve the desired outcome.
