Breast lift
Breast
lift
is
a
cosmetic
surgical
procedure
designed
to
reshape
sagging
breasts.
It
can
be
performed
in
conjunction
with
either breast
enlargement or breast
reduction. A
variety
of
techniques
are
available
and
during
the
consultation.
Dr
Fayman
will
ensure
that
the
cosmetic
surgery
which
suits
your
individual
requirements
is
selected.
Some
techniques
are
specifically
designed
to
retain
the
ability
to
breastfeed
after
surgery,
whereas
others
could
eliminate
such
a
possibility.
In
some
women
a ‘short
scar’ approach
can
be
applied,
reducing
the
length
of
the
scar
to
a
minimum,
particularly
in
the
area
under
the
breasts.
The
procedure
can
be
performed
under
general
anaesthesia
or
in
some
patients
under
conscious
sedation
supported
with
local
anaesthesia.
It
is
recommended
that
you
discontinue
or
drastically
reduce
smoking
for
six
weeks
before
surgery.
A
mammogram
may
be
recommended.
About the procedure - The breast cosmetic procedure
is designed and drawn on your chest before surgery, while you are still
in an erect position. The incisions can be designed to reduce the size
of the areola as well. Every effort is made to reduce the length of the
scar and to incorporate it into ‘hidden places’ such as the
interface of colour between the areola and the lighter skin of the breast.
The cosmetic surgery can be performed on an out-patient / day clinic
basis, but more commonly requires an overnight stay in hospital. Recovery
is usually uneventful. Pain is usually mild to moderate and is controllable
with painkillers. A supportive bra is recommended from day one after
the operation, for a couple of weeks after surgery. Swelling and discolouration
around the incisions usually subside within one or two weeks. There may
be a temporary loss of sensation in the nipples which in most cases,
returns to normal within a few weeks to months. One can usually resume
normal duties within ten to fourteen days and strenuous activity such
as gym, within three to four weeks.
What about the scars?
One of three cosmetic surgical approaches can be applied, depending on the
shape of your breasts and personal features.
The keyhole incision – This is the
most popular incision for cosmetic breast elevation and it results in a scar around
the areola, a vertical component and a cut under the breast.
The vertical scar – Beautiful breasts
are created by lifting the breasts through the areola and a vertical incision,
with no cut under the breast.
The peri-areolar incision – Breast
cosmetic surgery is accomplished using an incision placed in the interface
of colour on the border of the areola.
