You deserve renewed breasts. If you want it, you can have it.
From the onset of puberty, your breasts grow and stay with you through thick and thin.
Age, weight changes, gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and genetics can have their toll on your breasts and cause them to droop and lose their youthful shape and firmness.
If you are bothered about the look of your breasts, a simple way to test if you might need a breast lift is to put a pencil under your breast and observe if it remains suspended under your breast. If your breast can hold the pencil, then you might need a breast lift.
But first,
What is a breast lift?
Breast lift, also known as ‘Mastopexy‘ is a popular cosmetic procedure where a surgeon raises your breast by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue and repositioning your nipple by placing it higher on your chest wall.
How long does it take?
It is a simple procedure that is usually a day-case. This means that you get to go home the same day most times.
The surgery takes about 3 hours, and you may also decide to augment your breasts in the process by getting implants. Implants may be necessary if you want your breasts to appear bigger than they currently are.
What is the outcome of the procedure?
A breast lift can change the physical appearance of your body. Make you appear younger and your breasts, perkier.
What are the possible complications?
Complications hardly occur after a breast lift. It is a low-risk procedure that usually goes smoothly. Some rare complications include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Scarring
However, before you have the surgery, your surgeon will prepare you adequately and advise you on things to avoid. Your doctor will advise you to avoid the following if you are preparing for this procedure:
Smoking
Medications that increase your chances of bleeding
You may also need to take antibiotics too.
