Undoing the Consequences of Pregnancy with Breast Lifts

Breast lift involves lifting and reshaping the breasts and positioning the nipple/areola to the perfect location on the breast. In plastic surgery the term for this surgery is Mastopexy.Patients may need breast lifts due to a range of factors. These may include being born with tits that are droopy, breasts that fall after serious weight reduction, and doubtless most widely, torpedos that bend and decrease in size after a few youngsters. As a general rule the funbags get even more droopy and smaller with each pregnancy that the mother has. The medical term for sagging is ptosis.

The very good news is that there are some excellent procedures that may reverse these changes and create wonderful breasts. This correction could potentially involve simply a breast lift alone or a breast lift combined with a breast enhancement.

Who are applicants? The patient alone can define if their breasts position or shape is a difficulty for them and wish to improve or change the general shape and contour. The degree of breast lifting can be fairly minor or involve heavy re-contouring. The breast augmentation is usually done with a Mastopexy in order to make up for lost volume, actually most girls who have lost volume (their knockers have become smaller) choose to have their torpedos augmented to a size that might be bigger than the size they initially were, before they were pregnant.

Depending on the degree of breast drooping there are a number of different breast lift DC systems that can be tailored to what it is the patient's looking to reach and what their present breast shape needs. The lift may potentially involve only cuts round the areola (this is known as a circumareolar Mastopexy). This works really well for tits that require minimal lifting.

The most common procedure that I perform involves an incision that goes around the areola and then straight down to the inframammary fold. Some call this a lollypop Mastopexy, as the cuts and scars look like that of a lollypop (the actual name for this operation is a circumvertical Mastopexy). The Mastopexy that is necessary to correct the best degree of drooping is known as a full Mastopexy, which involves incisions around the areola, down to the inframammary fold, and then along the inframammary crease.

Glaringly a seasoned Plastic Surgeon will use the most simple technique that will permit the mandatory enhancements. In my practice, in which I have done over fourteen-hundred breast lifts, I am hunting for the surgery that will permit the best result with the least amount of scars.

If breast augmentation is done at the very same time, it is critical the breast enlargement be done first. This is because of the fact that the degree of breast lifting and skin resection will be modified by the tits being made larger. Additionally, it's almost very unlikely in most patients, to pinpoint the right size of the implant for the breast enhancement, thanks to the fact the breasts are bending and do not accurately show the size of the breast. This is because of the fact that the breast implant and the breast tissue aren't in the same place.

Not all San Diego Cosmetic Surgeons perform the surgery in the manner I do. I am assured however that in my hands this gives the best result. The surgery is done with a pocket made for the boob enlargement made and an implant sizer placed in the pocket. At that point the skin is stapled together in a fashion that approximates the degree and sort of breast lift that will be done. Then the patient is set up by means of elevating the back of the operating room table. My nurses and I examine the patient in regards to boob size, the degree of lift, and the anticipated position of the nipple. In this fashion not only can the proper size of the implant be determined. Simultaneously, the breast lift and the degree of skin resection may also be correctly evaluated without burning any bridges. Once the proper size and the correct degree of breast lift with optimal nipple positioning is determined, the tacking staples are removed after thoroughly marking the staple positions. The breast augmentation is then finished with the right size implant and the permanent implant placed. Then, following the marks of the tacking staples, the breast lift is then performed.
