People love to have fresh starts. A new year can mean we have another chance to do things differently, make changes, and progress in our lives. Part of a positive outlook is having renewed self-confidence. Some of that self-confidence can come from how we feel about our appearance. It is very common to start a year with goals of diet, health, and exercise. You may even add to those goals with ideas of plastic surgery. Lubbock patients with sagging breast will want to consider their options with a breast lift. No amount of diet or exercise can reverse the effects that age, nursing babies, or gravity have on your breasts.
What Can A Breast Lift Do?
A breast lift will reposition your breast tissue. Your nipple is also moved to a more forward place. Patients need to have realistic expectations for this surgery. A breast lift is different than a breast augmentation. The tightening of the skin and repositioning of breast tissue will give your breasts a more youthful appearance, but the surgery does not add volume like you have with implants. Some patients will choose to have a breast lift with implant plastic surgery. Lubbock women have the opportunity to honestly consult with Dr. Jane Rowley when making the decision which breast procedure is right for them.
Are You A Breast Lift Candidate?
If your breasts have become elongated and flattened over time, you may be a good candidate for this procedure. You may also notice that your nipples point downward. A breast lift will reshape and contour your breast, then remove excess skin to support a more upward position. Some things to consider before a breast lift:
Are your areolas enlarged?
Are you at a stable weight?
Do you smoke?
Are you in generally good health?
Do you have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery?
Your new year could include a breast lift or any other type of plastic surgery. Lubbock patients have the opportunity to experience the best plastic surgery options at Rowley Plastic Surgery with Dr. Jane Rowley. She will always take the time needed to consult carefully with her patients for the best surgical results.

People are making New Year’s resolutions intended for better health and quality of life. One of the top goals made at New Year’s time is to exercise more. If you drive by your local gym, you will see the parking lot full of cars indicating the good intentions of the people inside. For women with larger sized breast, increasing their exercise isn’t an easy goal to make. New styles of sports bras can make exercise easier for some women, but others will still struggle with vigorous activities with larger breast.
Impact of Sports
Your breast is made up of breast tissue and fat held in place by the skin and connective tissue called Cooper ligaments. These ligaments are not strong. When you have large breasts and then participate in activities that make the breast repeatedly bounce or move back and forth, you can develop what is called jogger’s breast. This injury can be painful and lead to permanent stretching of the Cooper ligaments that will make your breasts droop.
Benefits of a Breast Reduction
Even women with smaller breasts can develop jogger’s breasts. The best way to avoid this injury is to wear a sports bra that provides adequate support to your chest. When you have more breast tissue than a sports bra can support, you can consider the benefits of a breast reduction. Removing excess fat, breast tissue, and skin can lighten the load on your chest and allow you to move and exercise more freely. According to Dr. Jane Rowley, some of the happiest plastic surgery patients in Lubbock are women who have breast reductions. A breast reduction can give you greater self-confidence, easy in moving, and more proportional body shape. Dr. Rowley is the leading board-certified plastic surgeon in Lubbock with over twenty years of experience. She takes whatever time is need to explain procedures and expected results with her patients so they can have the best possible plastic surgery experience.

The effects of smoking on our lungs and the risks of cancer through tobacco and secondhand smoke exposure are fairly well-known and understood. But the dangers of smoking go beyond our lungs. Smoking introduces nicotine and carbon monoxide to the body which can cause blood vessels to restrict and can impact our tissue, both of which limit the flow of oxygen throughout our body. Oxygen is vital to the healing process, so getting insufficient oxygen during any healing period can result in complications and issues after surgery. Ultimately, patients who smoke can experience longer healing times and worsened scars. It is important for people planning to undergo plastic surgery to quit smoking well before scheduling a surgical procedure with our office in Lubbock. Plastic surgery patients are encouraged to stop smoking at least a few weeks before their scheduled surgery.
The Effects of Smoking
Smoking can lead to infections in the surgical wound. Smokers have higher rates of post-op infections.
Tobacco use can slow the healing process. Not only does this extend the recovery time, but it can also lead to issues in scarring.
Smoking introduces complications to circulation throughout the body leading to a deterioration of the skin during or after surgery.
Don’t Want to Quit?
The effects from smoking can cause serious complications. Some plastic surgeons will refuse scheduling procedures with people who smoke to avoid these risks. Other doctors will set strict parameters requiring patients to stop smoking for a specific amount of time before the surgery. These risks and restrictions may change depending on the procedure.
Quit Anyway
For patients in Lubbock, plastic surgery safety is of utmost importance to Dr. Jane Rowley. Patients should completely avoid smoking and nicotine patches and nicotine gum when preparing to undergo plastic surgery. You should continue to avoid smoking and other forms of nicotine during the recovery period as well. Dr. Jane Rowley is the leading plastic surgeon in Lubbock who cares about the health and recovery of her plastic surgery patients.
