Breast Lift Surgery for Rejuvenated Breasts
Unfortunately, breasts do not stay perky and firm forever. As women age, their breasts begin to sag and lose volume. Sagging breasts are also common after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Fortunately, there are exceptionally effective surgical options available to women who want firmer, more youthful breasts. Breast lift surgery is available in Amarillo, Texas at Proffer Surgical Associates for women who want to enhance their appearance. Sometimes a breast lift alone will create the look you desire; often a breast enlargement is performed along with a breast lift for a more thorough treatment.
Before Your Breast Lift
Dr. Patrick Proffer will help you decide on the type of surgery that is best for your needs. After a breast lift, your breasts will be positioned higher on the chest, with the nipples in a more youthful location. If you decide to add breast implants to your breast lift, then your breasts will be fuller, as well as perkier. Breast reduction may be a better option for patients who want a more manageable breast size, or those who suffer from back and neck pain related to large breasts.
We will determine whether breast lift surgery is right for you during a detailed evaluation and consultation with Dr. Proffer. There are some unavoidable risks associated with any surgical procedure, but major complications are uncommon when you choose a superior practice for your breast lift like Proffer Surgical Associates in Amarillo, Texas.
Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift is an outpatient procedure at Proffer Surgical Associates. The procedure may be performed under local or general anesthesia. The number and location of the incisions varies from patient to patient, but treatment usually includes incisions around the nipple and along the inframammary fold at the base of the breast. The nipple and areola are repositioned, the excess skin is trimmed away, and the breast is reshaped with a pleasing contour in a more normal position. Dr. Proffer may or may not insert breast implants, depending upon your preferences for breast size and shape. If you do choose breast implants, they can typically be placed through the same incisions made for the breast lift.
Breast Lift Recovery
Patients who have a breast lift without implants will return home with only light dressings over the incisions. Patients who receive breast implants will also wear a protective surgical bra. Sutures are usually removed within seven to ten days. Dr. Proffer can prescribe oral pain medication to control any discomfort, and you will be able to resume light activities around the time your sutures are removed. Though some scarring is inevitable, most scars fade to fine white lines with time, and most patients are very pleased with their firm, perky new breasts after a successful breast lift.
