Breast Lift Surgery 

If you want to reverse the toll pregnancy, breast feeding, and gravity have taken on your body, breast lift surgery could be just the solution you are looking for. Prospective patients for this procedure can browse LocateADoc.com for skilled cosmetic surgery doctors or plastic surgery doctors to preform this procedure.  To be considered an ideal candidate, a woman must exhibit good overall physical and mental health, have no condition or disease that may prevent blood from clotting, and have realistic expectations of the results. Women should also maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, which includes not smoking. This procedure is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast feeding.

The goal of this procedure is to lift and shape the tissue in the breast to create a more aesthetically pleasing contour. To achieve this, the surgeon will make an incision around the areola and possibly another incision vertically down to the breast crease. Breast tissue is then lifted and shaped, and the nipple may be repositioned to a higher location. Extra skin may also be removed to create a tighter breast pocket. The result is breasts that look fuller, rounder, and more youthful. View breast lift before and after pictures.

Afterwards, the patient will experience some swelling and soreness, and the breasts will often be tender for a few days. Within a week, swelling and inflammation around the nipple and areola should subside. This procedure also leaves scars, depending on the technique used. The most common risks are excessive bleeding, bruising, swelling, slow healing, and reopening of the incision. Infection, inability to breastfeed and loss of sensation are also risks.
