Breast lift surgery is a popular procedure that involves lifting and reshaping a patient’s breasts. This procedure can help to restore the youthful appearance of the breasts and improve their shape and symmetry to boost self-confidence. Some individuals will gain more from the procedure than others, and there are different reasons to get a breast lift.
Sagging Breasts
As women age, their breasts can lose firmness and elasticity, causing them to sag. Unfortunately, we cannot turn back the hands of time and many women will experience sagging during their lifetime. A breast lift can help to lift and reshape sagging breasts, giving them a more youthful appearance. Excess skin is removed during the procedure, which helps to achieve the desired results.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are truly wonderful experiences, but it often takes a toll on the body. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause significant changes to a woman’s breasts, including sagging, loss of volume and stretch marks. A breast lift seeks to address these issues and helps to restore the shape and positioning of the breasts.
Weight Fluctuations
Significant weight fluctuations can also cause the breasts to sag as the skin loses its elasticity. A breast lift allows a surgeon to remove excess skin and tighten the remaining skin, resulting in a firmer, more lifted appearance for patients.
Asymmetry
Many patients have breasts that are naturally asymmetrical, with one breast being larger or lower than the other. One of the reasons to get a breast lift is that it can help to correct this asymmetry and improve the overall appearance of the breasts. Excess fat can be removed to improve the symmetry of the breasts.
Who can Benefit from a Breast Lift?
The ideal candidate for a breast lift is a person who is generally in good health and has realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. For many, surgery is not an easy choice to make, and women who are bothered by the appearance of their breasts and want to improve their self-confidence will likely benefit most from this procedure.
A breast lift surgery does not increase the size of the breasts. Individuals who desire a larger breast size may consider combining breast lift surgery with breast augmentation which involves placing implants to increase the breast size.
It is important to note that a breast lift is not an all-in-one solution, and every patient’s needs are unique. Your surgeon will work with you to determine the best course of action based on your goals and circumstances.
