Breast Lift

Breast Lift Description

People mature as they grow older, both emotionally and physically. Physical maturity is a natural part of life, but the mature body you now have may not be as physically appealing as the body you used to have. Unfortunately for women, physical maturity includes drooping or sagging breasts. Breasts may begin to sag from a variety of reasons, including weight loss and gain, childbirth, breast feeding, hormonal fluctuations, and simple aging. At Bassin Center For Plastic Surgery, we offer breast lift in Florida to correct the cosmetic and functional problems sagging breasts, or ptosis of the breast, may cause. In addition to looking physically unappealing, sagging breasts may cause back, neck, or shoulder pain, and rashes or irritations from trapped moisture and skin friction. Breast lift in Florida perks breasts into a more youthful position, evens breast inconsistencies, and creates suppler, more symmetrical breasts. Our Orlando breast surgeons can also reduce the size of the breast and create smaller areolas during breast lift surgery if the patient wishes. Our doctors will speak to patients about what to expect during and after the breast lift procedure during their personal consultation. Patients often choose to combine breast lift in Florida with NaturalFill® breast enhancement, or fat transfer to the breast in Florida. This combination of procedures will return the fullness back to the breast as well as the lift that patients lost throughout the years.

Breast Lift Procedure

The exact techniques employed during breast lift surgery varies on an individual basis, depending upon the severity of the breast ptosis. Excess skin may be removed, implants or fat transfer may be used, and a combination of different procedures could potentially be implemented to achieve the best results. Everyone's body is different, so the method of correcting the different severities of ptosis and achieving the different breast enhancements patients expect varies as well. The recovery from breast lift in Florida also varies depending on the amount of work patients receive. Strenuous activities will be limited during the healing process, but depending on the activity level of your job, most patients return to work within one to two weeks after surgery. Patients can expect mild swelling to persist, however, up to three months. Before surgery, your breast surgeon will review post-operative instructions, including wound care, pain management, and wearing a post-surgical bra support. The recovery process takes time. Patients should not judge the final result of their breast lift in Florida until their breast settle into their final shape, which may take anywhere from six months to a year.
