BREAST LIFT
Breast Lift in Mumbai
Breast reduction is also known as reduction Mammoplasty. Large breasts not only make a woman feel embarrassed but also cause physical problems like neck and back pain, recurrent headaches, difficulty in finding well fitted clothes and limited ability to exercise.
The goal of breast reduction surgery is to reduce the size of your breasts and reshape them so that they are proportionate to the rest of your body and are no longer a source of physical discomfort. This commonly requested, predictable procedure has the dual benefits of improving your appearance while relieving the physical and emotional burden of overly large breasts.
Ask the Surgeon
IDEAL CANDIDATE
If you’ve become increasingly unhappy about the sagging of your breasts, you may wonder what surgery can do. Don’t be surprised if your surgeon suggests combining breast augmentation or breast reduction with your lift; adjunct procedures may be necessary to achieve your goals.
- Pregnancy, nursing, gravity, weight gain or loss, normal aging, and heredity have taken a toll on the shape of your breasts, resulting in sagging.
- If your surgeon thinks that breast implants alone are unlikely to achieve the contour you desire.
- If the tissue surrounding the nipple or areola has become stretched.
BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT
- It improves the appearance of the breasts.
- Boosts self-confidence and self-esteem.
- It gives fullness and proper shape of breasts.
- Improves quality of life.
HOW IT IS DONE ?
- A breast lift is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation in an accredited hospital or surgeon's office equipped with a surgical suite. Different techniques for removing breast skin and reshaping the breast determine the location of the incisions and resulting scars. Your surgeon will select a technique based on your breast size and shape, areola size and position, degree of breast sagging, skin quality and elasticity and how much extra skin you have.
TYPES OF PROCEDURE
- Silicon Implant Placement: This is most commonly used method for breast augmentation. Silicon implants are available in various sizes and a size appropriate to the person’s physique is chosen. Implant placement is done through infra-mammary incision, which remains well hidden.
- Fat Graft Mammoplasty: Fat grafting had been employed as a method of breast augmentation as early as 1895 when Czerny first transplanted a lipoma from the back to the breast for a mastectomy patient. Fat grafting involves the harvest of donor adipose tissue, most commonly from the buttocks or lower abdomen, and transplanting it to the patient's breast tissue. Fat grafting is also useful as a primary technique for small-volume augmentations2 or reconstructions (i.e., postlumpectomy reconstruction).
RISKS
- Bleeding
- Anesthesia risks.
- Infection.
- Possibility of revisional surgery.
- Breast asymmetry.
- Possibility of revision surgery.
- Breast contour and shape irregularities.
- Fluid accumulation.
RESULTS
- If a breast lift is performed properly, your breasts should not return to their preoperative droop for decades, assuming you don't have significant weight fluctuations or go through pregnancy. Some settling may occur, but the new nipple position should remain intact. Ask your surgeon about the technique that will be used.
RECOVERY
- It is vitally important that you follow all patient care instructions provided by your surgeon. This will include information about wearing compression garments, care of your drains, taking an antibiotic if prescribed and the level and type of activity that is safe. Your surgeon will also provide detailed instructions about the normal symptoms you will experience and any potential signs of complications. It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for recovery varies greatly among individuals.
