The surgery may require repositioning the areola also.
What it takes?
The breast lift surgery usually takes from 1 to 3 hours. The length of time depends on the degree of sagging and specific condition of each patient.
The breast lift surgery is most commonly conducted in a doctor's clinic. Only in special cases, it takes place in a hospital. The patient is able to go back home a few hours after the surgery. Again, some special cases may require an overnight stay.
The body recovers quickly from the surgery and if the patient has a job that does not require a lot of physical effort; she can go back to work in a week or so. To go back to a fitness program, the patient may have to wait for about 5 to 8 weeks.
It is conducted under general anesthesia.
Normally, you can have sex after a week, but you may want to wait longer.
What will be the expected results?
According to Dr. Michael Bruck from the Juva Medical Spa in New York City this surgery may not give to every woman the breast they had in their teen years. However, the surgery will make the breasts look perkier, fuller, and firmer.
This surgery is a tradeoff between scars and perkier breast. So depending how pronounced is the sagging, the patient determines if it is worthwhile to have the surgery and the scars.
This surgery is not the favorite for many doctors, because even if the surgery is successful and the results are superb, the patient's breasts will not be perfect as in the case of breast augmentation. The breast will have permanent, visible scars. The scars fade with time, and in some women, they become very light and almost invisible after a couple of years. The doctors do their best to reduce the scars.
A breast lift surgery does not present special risks for future pregnancies. It usually doesn't interfere with breast-feeding either.
How large are the scars?
There are a couple of options for the breast plastic surgery depending on how bad is the sagging and drooping. Most surgeries will leave a "T" shaped scar. One line will go from the areola vertically down to the line where the breast meets the chest, the other line is around the base of the breast (where the breast meets the chest). There could be one more cut around the areola to reposition the nipple.
If the sagging or drooping is minor and the breast is relative small, some doctors may cut only around the areola. This option leaves smaller scars. Sometimes this surgery is called "doughnut (or concentric) mastopexy" because of the shape of the cut.
The scars will be, generally speaking, more pronounced in the beginning and they will tend to fade as time goes by. Usually they take months, even more than a year in some patients, to fade.
