Breast Lift Risk and Safety Information

As a Lubbock plastic surgery candidate, you have other options available when a breast augmentation with implants doesn’t feel right for you. A breast lift is an alternative to restoring your body to a more youthful look. A breast lift can effectively lift and reshape sagging breasts without the concerns and risks associated with breast implants. The procedure removes excess skin and moves the nipple to a more outward position. It can also remove stretch marks from past pregnancies.

As with all surgical procedures, you need to think about possible risks and have clear communication with your doctor about what is involved. You should always discuss any concerns you have about surgical risks before you consent to having surgery.

Here are a few of the concerns with breast lift procedures you will want to consider:

Common Complications:

• Unattractive scarring
• Healing problems with the incision
• Infection

Less Common Complications:

• Problems with anesthetics
• Breast asymmetry
• Changes in the nipple and areola

You can expect some bruising and soreness after surgery, but you should report excessive pain to your doctor.  Although you may not be able to control your reaction to anesthetics, you can control some things to help your recovery and avoid potential complications. Breast asymmetry is usually minor but may require additional surgery.

In order to do this effectively, find a board certified doctor. This is your first important decision to avoid some of the risks involved with plastic surgery. Dr. Jane Rowley, Lubbock’s best plastic surgeon, has over 20 years of experience in plastic and cosmetic surgery. Her certifications and experience give you confidence in your plastic surgery choices.

One thing you can do to improve the outcome of your surgery is to stop smoking before your procedure. Smoking decreases blood flow to your skin, and quitting as far in advance of your procedure as possible will help in the healing process. You should also follow all post-surgery recommendations given by your doctor. Rest the full length of time she recommends, as your body will heal faster when you don’t push to get back into your regular routine too soon.

A breast lift is generally a safe procedure, but it is important to thoroughly discuss the procedure with your doctor before the surgery takes place. Lubbock patients trust the experience of Dr. Jane Rowley for all plastic surgery needs. Whether you are considering making physical changes with a tummy tuck, facial procedure, or breast options, Rowley Plastic Surgery has the experience to help you achieve your aesthetic dreams.
