Breast Lift Procedures
Types of Breast Lift ProceduresThere are 2 basic types of mastopexy operations: modified lifts and full lifts. Modified breast lifts are defined as any procedure which uses less than the traditional 3 incisions necessary for the full lift technique. Full breast lifts utilize an anchor incision, which originated for use in breast reduction many years ago. The type of procedure you require is based upon several case-specific criteria including:* Size of the breasts Choosing Breast Lift ProceduresMaking the right choice of procedure requires a basic understanding of the many mastopexy options, as well as an honest assessment of your problematic breast issues. This process can seem complicated, but your cosmetic surgeon will help advise you to make the correct choice. The most important factors to consider are:* Will your chosen procedure meet your expectations? * Will the results be long lasting? * What will the scarring look like? Is this acceptable to you? * What are the
risks?
Will you lose sensation? Can you
breastfeed?
* Do you also need a reduction or
augmentation?
Recommendation on Breast Lift ProceduresAs with every aspect of cosmetic breast surgery, there are many ways to achieve your desired result. Different doctors might advise different modalities, so it is important that you understand your options, as well as the potential motivations behind the doctor’s recommendations. Any doctor who might advise a particular procedure since it is the one they offer, is not keeping your best interests in mind; they are simply trying to make money. Get a few good objective opinions, even if you have to pay for the consultations. It will be money well spent, especially if you are having a difficult time deciding on the best course of action for you and your breasts.Breast Plastic Surgery Interactive Forum Breast Lift Procedures to Breast Implants Home 12/28/07 Revised 11/10/09
