Like any surgical procedure

Has a pregnancy wreaked havoc on your once perky breasts? If you have sagging breasts, a breast lift can change your life! This procedure raises the breasts, removes excess skin, tightens the tissue around the breasts, and reverses the signs of aging. Before you have breast lift surgery, there are seven facts you should remember.

After your operation, your breasts will be firmer and perkier, and you will have a beautiful new contour. During your operation, your plastic surgeon will reshape and raise your breasts. He will tighten the tissue around your breasts and remove the excess skin. You can expect long lasting results from your operation!

If your nipples drop below the crease of your breasts, mastopexy may be the answer to your problem. During your operation, your areolas and nipples will be repositioned to a youthful, natural height. A breast lift can also reduce the size of your areolas.

Like any surgical procedure, this operation is associated with risks. These risks can include reactions to anesthesia, persistent pain, deep vein thrombosis, infection, bleeding, hematoma, and skin discoloration. Discuss these problems with your doctor before you have surgery.

Be prepared for your operation. You may need to undergo pre-surgical tests such as a blood test and mammogram. Don抰 take any aspirin before your operation because it can cause excessive bleeding. If you smoke, you should stop before you go under the knife.

After your operation, your chest will be swollen, bruised and sore. You will have to wear bandages or a compression bra for several days. You may experience some pain, but it shouldn抰 be severe. Any pain you feel can be treated with prescription medication. After your compression bra or bandages have been removed, your cosmetic surgeon may suggest that you wear a support bra or sports bra until the swelling subsides.

This plastic surgery procedure will not significantly change the size of your bust. If you want a bigger bust, consider combining mastopexy with breast augmentation surgery. If you want smaller breasts, consider combining mastopexy with breast reduction surgery.

Please remember that all cosmetic surgeons are not equally qualified. Even board-certified cosmetic surgeons vary in skills and qualifications. If you want gorgeous results, make sure you hire the best cosmetic surgeon you can afford. After you find a great surgeon, schedule a breast lift consultation. After your operation, you will look and feel gorgeous!
