Q: When Should I get a breast lift?

Since, according to Plastic Surgery Info, a breast lift will require rest for the first week post-surgery and 2-4 weeks of avoiding strenuous activity, you should consider what you have planned for the month after a possible surgery date. Plans to have children can also affect when you choose to have this procedure. CSAPS explains that a breast lift can sometimes reduce sensation, and some procedures may require detaching the nipples and areolas. These possible aspects of the procedure can affect your ability to breastfeed, so discuss any plans to breastfeed with your surgeon. You may want to delay the procedure.

At Royal Centre of Plastic Surgery in Barrie, Breast Lift, also known as Mastopexy is a common procedure in our private facility – 40 minutes north of Toronto – for women whose breasts have started to sag. Pregnancy, nursing, heredity, age and significant weight loss are factors that may contribute to your decision to undergo a breast lift surgery (mastopexy). Breast lift sometimes is required after breast implant removal. Loss of skin elasticity may change the appearance and firmness of the breasts.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift surgery is a body contouring cosmetic surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the breasts. Otherwise referred to as mastopexy, a breast lift can result in a firmer breast by removing excess tissue and tightening the skin envelope.

Breast Lift: Expectations, Combined Procedures, and Benefits

Provided that you can maintain a stable weight, do not become pregnant and maintain a healthy lifestyle, you can expect your breast lift to last for years. A significant weight loss after surgery might negatively impact the results. A breast lift can also be combined with a breast implant. If your desire is a more youthful-looking breast, then a breast lift might be the right choice for you.

Breast Lift in Barrie, Ontario

Dr. Dickie, at the Royal Centre of Plastic Surgery (located in Barrie, 40 minutes north of Toronto) will help you make the right surgical decision during a personal consultation.

Who is a good candidate for Breast Lift Procedure?

You may be a candidate for a breast lift if you already maintain a healthy and stable weight. If your breasts are flatter, elongated or visibly stretched – a breast lift may be an option for you. Breast lift surgery may as well be necessary after a breast implant removal procedure. Often when your breasts lack support, your nipples start to rest below the breast crease or point downward.

The best candidates for a breast lift surgery are healthy individuals who have small and sagging breasts. If you are considering having more children, it may be worthwhile to postpone your breast surgery because pregnancy is likely to stretch your breast tissue again and offset the results of the procedure. In addition to pregnancy, weight loss may be another factor which affects your correction. It is important to discuss these factors with our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Dickie who will help make the right surgical decision for you. If more volume is required, Dr. Dickie may discuss a combined procedure to incorporate breast implants with your breast lift.

How Is a Breast Lift Surgery performed?

There are various techniques plastic surgeons use in performing a breast lift surgery, but the most common procedure involves an anchor-shaped incision following the natural contour of the breast. The incision is made to reduce the breast skin envelope, as well as to define the placement of the nipple. After excess skin has been removed and breast tissue reshaped, the nipple and areola are moved to the higher position resulting in a more youthful, firmer breast.

Recovery

Typically our breast lift surgery patients may resume their normal work schedule within a ten day period; however, the patient should avoid any heavy lifting for three to four weeks. During the first week of recovery you may need pain medication.

One major concern of breast lift patients is scarring after mastopexy. Minimizing the appearance of breast lift scars on the breast will be of vital importance to your surgeon. Scars will fade within a few months. You can read more here about breast lift scars.

Other FAQs About The Breast Lift Procedure

Do I want to have implants inserted at the same time?

CSAPS points out that “If you have lost a considerable amount of volume in your breasts you may also want to consider having breast implants inserted at the time of breast lift surgery.” This way, you don’t have to deal with separate healing periods or double the anxiety many people feel regarding surgery. Instead, you can get both done at the same time and save yourself some time and trouble. Of course, whether you choose to add implants depends on what is right for you and your body. Hopefully these questions can help guide you in deciding what will work for you and the body you want to have.
