Making up your mind for a breast lift is not easy. Deciding whether or not to change the shape of your breasts by undergoing surgery can be difficult. There are many general aspects that one should be familiar with during the decision making process, although specific details should be discussed with a surgeon.
Choice of a cosmetic surgeon should be considered carefully. Choosing a surgeon who has the specialized knowledge and experience for your procedure will yield the best results, although cosmetic surgery can be carried out by any licensed physician. For physicians who specialize in cosmetic surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons exists. Members of the ASPS have at least two years of experience specifically with cosmetic surgery and at least five years of experience as surgeons. For carrying out your procedure, surgeons who have previous experience with mastopexy (the medical term for a breast lift) are the ideal candidates.
An issue that many women would like to correct if given the opportunity is sagging, which is also known medically as ptosis. In how a woman feels about her body can change with the changes in the breast shape. The sagging can be reduced by breast lift. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal fluctuations, weight loss, weight gain, and age are some of the reason for the breasts to change their shape. The main factors are Gravity and the aging process, causing both a weakening of the ligaments as well as the skin's loss of elasticity. The ligaments generally hold the breast in place, but weakening causes the breasts to change their shape. Which technique you choose together with your surgeon will be determined by the severity of the ptosis.
There are several ways to carry out this breast lift. You may decide to go for a complete change in shape or you might only wish to have a minor adjustment. The pros and cons of a major lift must be weighed versus making only small modifications. A full breast lift may require multiple incisions, which will bring change that is more drastic in appearance, although this process will lead to more scarring. Other versions of mastopexy exists which are responsible for some less dramatic changes, although such techniques are less scarring and have less recovery time.
In a less intense modification, the pain is numbed directly by making use of local anesthesia. General anesthesia may be required if more comprehensive restructuring is done. During this procedure, the patient remains unconscious. Recovery time can be as brief as one day, although it does vary. In some cases, one or two weeks may be necessary.
Your surgeon has a few techniques to choose from for reducing the visibility of scars, although the scarring is inevitable in mastopexy. Vertical and horizontal cuts, the incisions can be made around the areolas in a circular pattern or underneath the areolas. During the operation, the areola can even be changed in size or repositioned and excess skin is usually removed. When deciding how much difference you want the operation to make in your appearance, all of these factors should be weighed.
