When it comes to a woman’s self-esteem, confidence, and her sense of femininity, the breasts play a significant role. Unfortunately, they are prone to various physical changes associated with life events including pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the natural aging process.
Many women lose breast volume over time, leading them to consider breast augmentation. For others, shape and elevation are of critical concern. Fortunately, mastopexy, better known as a breast lift, restores youthful contours to that youthful, perky upward curve.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Pugash offers breast lift surgery at his surgery center in Vancouver, BC. Women who want a life-changing solution for their sagging breasts seek his services to improve their body contours.
What Can I Expect?
A breast lift is designed to strengthen breast tissue and reposition nipple position when needed. The surgery lasts about two hours with different incision techniques to choose from. Once the surgery is complete, there is time needed for the changes to your body to settle into their final form.
Recovery from breast lift takes about four weeks. There are restrictions in activity levels and exposure to sunlight, and it is important to wear appropriate support garments.
There are several things you can do to ensure you enjoy your results for many years:
- Defer surgery until after having children
- Avoid weight fluctuation
- Wear supportive bras
- Don’t smoke
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Combining Breast Lift with Implants
While some women seeking mastopexy are happy with their breast size, others have concerns about volume. It is important to understand that a while breast lift alone can raise the nipples and remove extra skin, it cannot increase upper pole fullness. For these women, Dr. Pugash recommends implants in combination with the breast lift.
Implants will improve size, shape, and firmness. Dr. Pugash will help you determine which option – breast lift, breast augmentation, or both – is best suited for your cosmetic goals and needs.
