Understanding What Happens With A Breast Lift

The breasts droop and come to hang lower on a woman's body over the course of time

. Gravity adds to the problem as does aging. Childbirth and nursing can also affect the breasts and can change the upper body contours. This is why a breast lift can make a tremendous difference in the appearance of a woman's body and also how she feels about her bosom.

A breast lift is a reconstructive procedure. Some patients want the lift but are pleased with the size of their bosom. Other patients who wish to have larger breasts and breasts that are positioned higher on their upper bodies may opt for a lift and implants at the same time. Only you can decide what you want most.

Before you schedule the surgery it is imperative that you know what will take place while you are on the plastic surgeon's table. During the operation the surgeon will remove the skin and the tissues under both of the areolas that is not needed. What this serves to do is to bring about a firmer, suppler look that will raise each breast to a higher placement. In some cases if a woman is very small the tissue and skin will not be taken away from under the areolas but from around them before the repositioning takes place.

Most of the time the incisions that are made in the skin are made in the natural crease of the bosom, as well as around the areolas and then in a vertical direction that connects the incisions together like a connect-the-dots drawing. The more extensive and involved the work is the more incisions will need to be made which will result in more scarring. Sometimes it is not known until the operation begins whether the work will need to be extensive or not. This is something you must take into consideration before you say yes to the lift operation.

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. What this means is that you as the patient will be put in a state of total unconscious due to anesthetic drugs while you are being operated on. The breast lift is an outpatient surgery which means that you are permitted to go home the same day of the procedure. However if you suffer complications during the operation then you may have to stay in the hospital for a day or two to be monitored. This is for your own safety and well-being.

Many patients prefer to recover and begin the healing process in the comfort of their homes. It is also easier on the bank account because the bill you will be sent will be smaller than if a hospital stay was required.

A breast lift will leave you looking more curvaceous and it will improve the contours of your body overall. You will look and feel rejuvenated and the end result will be so exciting! But first you need down time to recuperate. It will take approximately two weeks for healing to occur. For some patients it may be more than that. Your stitches will be removed sometime during this span of time. You also must be very careful not to do anything too strenuous to yourself as this can cause your recovery period to be put back a few days to a week or more.
