Over time, a woman’s breasts can start to droop. Hormones, weight changes, genetics, and gravity all contribute to breast changes. You realize that your once perky breasts appear to be facing the floor. You may be considering breast surgery but do not want breast implants in your body. What you really need is a breast lift in Issaquah.
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, will significantly change the shape and placement of your breasts without involving implants. Your breasts are made to look perkier by moving the tissue back up, molding the breast into a younger position and shape, and reorienting your nipples to face forward, not down. A breast surgery can give you back the breast shape you remember from your younger days.
A breast lift procedure raises and reshapes drooping breasts. Breast size does not matter. Smaller breasts can droop or be naturally low-lying on your chest wall and benefit from breast lift surgery as much as larger breasts can. Age is not a factor because women of all ages in Issaquah may want to improve the look of their breasts with a breast lift.
Breast lift surgery can help women whose breasts look older due to nipples pointing towards the floor. Some women naturally have a breast shape where their nipples tend to face down instead of forward. Other women do not notice this problem until after pregnancy, menopause, or significant weight loss. If your nipples do not face forward, you may be interested in how a breast lift could help you have perkier-looking breasts. For some breasts, it is more important to reorient and reshape the breasts than to change their position.
A breast lift can be paired with breast augmentation if you would like fuller, larger breasts. For some women, having a breast lift will make their breasts look smaller even though they are now in a better position. Our plastic surgeon at Newvue Medical knows how a breast lift will change your breasts’ overall appearance. If you are worried, do not hesitate to ask. Even if you think you do not want to augment the size of your breasts, you may change your mind after you receive a full explanation of how the look of your breasts will be changed with a breast lift. If you feel you do not want implants, consider moving fat from an area you do not want it to your breasts. It can give you the boost in size you want.
If you are thinking about breast surgery because you do not like the changes that have happened due to significant weight loss, you need to be at, or very close to, your target weight. Jumping into surgery too soon may mean needing a revision later, so it is worth waiting until the right time.
Breast lift surgery in Issaquah is an outpatient procedure. This means you go home the same day of your surgery. Because most breast lift surgery is done under general anesthesia, you need a trusted driver to take you home that day.
Recovery time from breast lift surgery can vary based on what exactly was done, but it usually takes about two weeks. Immediately after surgery, you will have some swelling and bruising of your breasts and chest wall. This will dissipate rapidly.
One of the more difficult parts of recovery can be the limits placed on what you can do with your arms. It may not feel good to move your arms around. You should not lift anything that weighs more than a few pounds in the beginning, and our team will give you instructions on how quickly you can return to lifting, pushing, and pulling more weight. This means you will need help with household chores, such as carrying groceries or doing laundry.
While most swelling resolves quickly, some swelling can last up to three months. This means you will not see the final result of your breast lift surgery until that time. The changes made by the surgery are permanent, but unfortunately, you cannot stop the natural changes that will continue as you grow older. Certain things, like a healthy lifestyle, will help you maintain the new appearance of your breasts.
If you are not happy with the look of your breasts, make an appointment to speak with our plastic surgeon, Dr. George Min. He knows how to make the improvements that will give you the silhouette you are looking for. You may be happily surprised by what can be done to improve the appearance of your breasts. When you are happy with your appearance, you will notice improved self-confidence that goes beyond the bedroom and shines through in every situation. Call now to discuss a breast lift in Issaquah.
