Breast Lift in Reading
As time passes, pregnancy, nursing, and gravity may have adverse effects on the size, shape, and feel of a woman's breast. The breast may look and feel old, but they don't have too. A breast lift can help. A breast lift is a procedure that can shape, rejuvenate, firm up, lift up and shape up sagging, shrinking, atrophied breasts.
To find out whether a breast lift makes sense for you, click here to request a complimentary consultation. We believe in taking the time to educate patients about their cosmetic options, and want to present you with your options in an unhurried and supportive environment.
The best candidates for this procedure are women with sagging breasts. This procedure utilizes techniques which tighten the skin envelope and may involve insertion of breast implants to restore breasts to their natural shape. Although every effort is made to make scars as inconspicuous as possible there will be scars below the nipples. These scars should not be noticeable even in low cut clothing or a bathing suit. The scars will fade with time and are easily concealed by a normal bra. Depending upon the patient's anatomy, procedures that limit the incision and resulting scars may be utilized. The specific procedure is discussed in detail at the time of the consultation. The procedure can be done on breasts of any size, however, the results do not tend to last as long on heavy breasts. Women who plan to have more children may want to postpone surgery, as the process of pregnancy and breast-feeding may change the final result of the surgery.
Breast lifts are performed under sedation or general anesthesia. Physical activity will be limited for several weeks. Patients may return to work within five days depending on their occupation.
