Life can give women a variety of reasons to consider breast lift plastic surgery. Lubbock surgeon, Dr. Jane Rowley is the trusted surgeon with knowledge and expertise that extends to  breast lifts, breast augmentations, and breast reductions. Depending on the personal cosmetic results you are looking for, any of these procedures or a combination can be an option.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, called a mastopexy, helps to raise the breasts by removing extra skin then tightening the skin around the surrounding breast tissue to support the new breast shape. The nipple and the areola are also moved to a more upward position. The surgery is usually done as a same-day-surgery, and can also remove unwanted stretch marks if they are part of the extra skin that is removed.

What a Breast Lift Can do for You

A breast lift restores sagging breasts to a firmer, fuller shape. A breast lift can’t change the size of your breast, but the procedure can give your breasts symmetry, and a more youthful appearance. If you are wanting to also change the size of your breasts, a breast augmentation or breast reduction can be done in combination with a lift to achieve your desired look.

Life After Surgery

You will have some discomfort, swelling, and some draining initially after surgery. It’s important to follow your doctor’s post-surgery instructions carefully. You can expect to return to regular exercise after about 4 weeks of recovery. Scarring is minimal and will continue to fade over time.

A breast lift is an excellent way to bring life back to your sagging bustline. And, you can expect to enjoy the results of your surgery for years to come. It is best to plan this procedure after you are finished having children and nursing babies as that can change your surgery results.

With many technological and procedure advances, Lubbock plastic surgery offers a variety of options to meet the individual goals of each patient. Breast augmentation is still the most performed plastic surgery, but another breast procedure is also becoming popular: the breast lift. This procedure can restore a more youthful look to your breasts without using implants. In fact, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons have seen a 70% increase in breast lift procedures being performed around the nation, a statistic that beats out breast augmentation 2-1. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts, and unsure about having breast implants, a breast lift may be the procedure for you.

Why Consider a Breast Lift

As women age, breasts will naturally begin to sag. Childbirth, gravity, and aging ligaments won’t let your breasts keep their youthful appearance forever- no matter how much you exercise or eat right. If you are not interested in breast augmentation with breast implants, a breast lift procedure may better fit your cosmetic needs. Some of the aesthetic concerns women who are candidates for a breast lift have, are:

  • Enlarged Areolas
  • Droopy or saggy breasts
  • Pronounced stretch marks
  • Nipples that point down
  • Asymmetry with breasts

A breast lift is not the procedure to change your breast size. If you want your breasts to have a fuller look or to be a smaller size, you can consider combining a breast lift with augmentation or breast reduction procedures. Lubbock plastic surgery patients can easily tell if they are a good candidates for a breast lift by placing a pencil under their breast and see if the pencil stays in place when they let go.

Things to Consider with a Breast Lift

Breast lifts are usually done as outpatient plastic surgery. Lubbock cosmetic surgery is generally not covered with insurance unless it is part of a breast reconstruction. You can have a breast lift at any time after your breasts are fully mature. And, women can still breastfeed after the procedure.

Clothes Fit Better

Breast augmentation is the plastic surgery Lubbock women can consider when wanting to feel better in or out of their clothes.

Some women choose breast augmentation because they feel they look nicer in the clothing styles they want to wear.  

Breast Shape

Age, nursing babies, weight loss and gain, even gravity can all have an effect on the appearance of our breasts, and give us a reason to consider what Lubbock plastic surgery procedures are available.
