1. What are some of the most common benefits of breast lift surgery?
Many women who see a breast surgeon are happy with the size of their breasts, but want to improve their breast shape or profile. They complain that their nipples are low, and their breasts are droopy. By performing a breast lift (mastopexy), the nipple is repositioned, and the breast is tightened to give a more youthful and perky appearance.
2. What will happen at the initial consultation ?
Usually the patient will receive information about the procedure, an examination with recommendations about the options the patient has, as well as an opportunity to ask questions, see before and after pictures and receive price information.
3. How long does breast lift surgery take?
The procedure takes about 90 minutes
4. Do I have to stay in the hospital?
No, you can have the procedure performed as an outpatient.
5. How much pain is there?
There is minimal pain, most patients can return to work or social activities in just a few days.
6. What can I expect after breast lift surgery ?
You will have some bruising and swelling but you will immediately notice an improvement in your shape.
7. What is the long term outcome like ?
The results of a breast lift will last for many years. Of course, pregnancy or weight gain and weight loss can cause the breasts to droop again.
