Breast Lift with Implants
Please fill the Details
Mastopexy or commonly known as a ‘breast lift’, is one of the most popular procedures in the world of plastic surgery. Professional surgeons can do a circumareolar breast lift or something that is known as the vertical breast lift. These two procedures are often done to bring a woman’s breasts up and elevate them to a higher position after becoming droopy, which can be caused by age, pregnancy, weight loss, and gravity. There are also those who undergo this type of surgery because they want to have a more attractive-looking set of breasts, nipples, etc. There are women who prefer a breast lift with implants, which is another type of procedure.
Breast implants are also very popular and women undergo this said procedure due to these reasons:
• Dissatisfaction due to small-sized breasts
• Low self-esteem and consciousness of breast shape
• Desire to have a more balanced and attractive figure
• For breast asymmetry
• Wants to boost confidence after giving birth
• To celebrate a major event in one’s life such as marriage, divorce, a certain milestone, etc.
If you are thinking about getting a breast lift with implants, you should know about the two types of filler materials used by surgeons. You can choose from saline or silicone, but remember that the type and technique recommended will depend on the size of your breasts, the degree of sagging, as well as your aesthetic goals.
A saline implant is inserted empty, which is then filled once in place. When you go for a silicone implant, it will be prefilled and then inserted. They are placed either underneath your glandular tissue or under your pectoral muscle. A lot of cosmetic surgeons prefer the latter because it conceals the implants better and because it provides more support. With that said, be sure that you get in touch only with a board certified surgeon in order for you to get the best results possible.
Women who undergo this specific type of procedure are usually out-patients. This means that you will be able to go home after surgery, given that a family member or friend can take care of you. Oral medication is often prescribed to help manage the pain and you may be asked to rest for a week, although some return to non-strenuous work a bit earlier. Bruising, discomfort, and swelling are expected, which is why movements that require lifting, pulling, and pushing are restricted for the first couple of weeks in order to prevent injury.
As with any other type of surgery, a breast lift with implants also involves some risks. This means that you should know all the important details about the procedure before making your final decision. Last, but not the least, you should always remember that all vital aspects should thoroughly be discussed during an initial consultation and only a board certified cosmetic surgeon can correctly perform this procedure.
