Breast Lift in Canada
Breast
Lift surgery, or Mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to lift the
sagging droopy breast and give it a more aesthetic shape and position without altering the size. The most common reason women choose this operation
is to “perk” the breasts up again after child bearing. After
child bearing the breasts get larger with breast feeding, then shrink and sag. With breast
lift surgery the nipple is elevated back to position and the rest of the extra
skin is removed. This essentially tightens the breast and fills up the superior
portion producing cleavage.
There
are different types of lifts available with different incision patterns.
This should be discussed with a plastic surgeon in consult prior to surgery.
The most common procedure involves an anchor-shaped incision and stitches
are usually placed around the areola, in a vertical line extending downwards
from the nipple area, and along the lower crease of the breast.
Another
technique that could be an option for those with small breasts and minimal
sagging is the "doughnut mastopexy," where circular incisions
are made around the areola, and a doughnut-shaped area of skin is removed.
An
implant may also be added to a lift to increase size, if so desired.
The
surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis. You
will feel discomfort, but any pain can be controlled with medication. You can expect your chest
to be bruised, swollen and ache and this can last for a few weeks.
The
results of a breast lift are instantaneous but the final result will
not be seen until swelling has reduced.Your
surgeon will give you specific recovery instructions but usually you will
be asked to rest for the first week. You will probably be instructed not to participate in strenuous activities
for 2 - 4 weeks.
To
discuss your particular situation in more detail, consult with a
plastic
surgeon in your area.
