Breast Lift FAQ

Breast Lift FAQ Welcome to the Breast-Plastic-Surgery.Org breast lift FAQ section. Here you can find many of the common questions we receive regarding breast lift surgery and the answers we usually provide to readers. Breast lift is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery and is enjoying vigorous growth in terms of new procedural techniques and doctors who specialize in the operation worldwide. Many women have embraced breast lift as an organic way to improve their breast aesthetics without implants.

Breast Lift FAQ / Surgery

Q: How long will the surgery take?

A: Breast lifts range from crescent lifts which take about 30 minutes to full mastopexy techniques which take several hours to complete. Talk to your doctor about the time expected for your specific procedure prior to surgery.

Q: How will I feel after surgery?

A: You will be in pain and disoriented from the anesthetic. The first 2 days are the worst, but with proper medication, you can still be comfortable. Healing will take weeks to months, depending on the procedure chosen, but most pain will end in a few days to a few weeks.

Q: What are the risks of breast lift?

A: All cosmetic surgeries have risks. It is crucial to discuss these with your doctor prior to undergoing the procedure. Most women do not suffer any complications from breast lift, but there is always the possibility for infection, poor operative results or other potential serious side effects.

Breast Lift FAQ / Options

Q: What type of lift is best for me?

A: This depends on your expectations and the present condition of your breasts. Some women only require a minor lift and can get away with a less invasive approach, such as a Benelli lift. Other women require a moderate lift, like a vertical mastopexy procedure, while some may need a full lift utilizing an anchor incision.

Q: Can I do a breast lift with implants?

A: Sure, this is a very popular combination procedure. The 2 surgeries can be easily combined and can even use the same incision to minimize tissue damage and breast scarring.

Q: My boobs are really saggy. Is there hope for me?

A: Yes, breast lift can accomplish significant changes, but does so at a cost. There is likely to be scarring and the breast mound may take some time to find a natural shape during healing.

Final Breast Lift FAQ
