Breast Lift Surgery - Dallas, Texas
Women who are satisfied with their breast size but want their breasts to look firmer and rest higher on their chest may benefit from our breast lift procedure. This safe and effective technique for breast lift, performed near Dallas, Texas, at Regional Plastic Surgery Center removes stretched skin and raises the nipple area to a more natural position. The results of breast lift are breasts that sit higher on the chest.
Breast Lift Surgery
Many women are happy with the size of their breasts, but unhappy with breast sagging or loss of breast shape. Aging, pregnancy, weight loss, and heredity can stretch breast skin and cause the skin to lose its elasticity. Breast lift surgery can remedy all of these problems.
Breast lift is often combined with other breast enhancement surgery procedures such as breast augmentation with implants. If you are dissatisfied with both the shape and size of your breasts, we can enhance the size of your breasts by combining breast enlargement surgery with breast lift. The Dallas, Texas, area cosmetic surgeons with Regional Plastic Surgery Center will design a complete breast lift surgery plan to give you the breasts you desire.
Breast Lift Surgery Consultation
Each breast lift patient at our Dallas-area Regional Plastic Surgery Center engages in a thorough consultation with her cosmetic surgeon prior to the breast lift surgery. Breast lift consultations are held at our surgical facility conveniently located between Plano and Dallas, Texas. The breast lift consultation is extremely important. From this conversation, our cosmetic surgeon determines the breast lift procedure to be used, how the breast should be shaped, and if other breast enhancement surgeries are needed to best meet the patient's breast appearance desires.
Evaluation of the Breasts
As part of the breast lift consultation, our plastic surgeon evaluates current breast shape and skin elasticity. Patients who are planning to lose a significant amount of weight or who are trying to become pregnant should tell their plastic surgeon. Both weight loss and pregnancy significantly affect breast shape.
Your Medical History
During the breast lift consultation, our patients should candidly discuss their medical history, including any previous breast surgeries, mammography results, and any family history of breast cancer. Our patients should fully explain to their cosmetic surgeon how they expect their breasts to look after the breast lift procedure.
Your Breast Lift Surgery Treatment Plan
There are many techniques available for breast lift. Our Dallas area cosmetic surgeons will use the information provided during the consultation and the results of the breast examination to determine the most appropriate breast lift techniques for each individual patient. Our plastic surgeons may recommend other body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or liposuction to provide patients with results that meet their expectations.
The Breast Lift Surgery Procedure
Breast lift surgery performed near Dallas, Texas at Regional Plastic Surgery Center is an outpatient procedure that involves anesthesia. Although techniques vary, typically our cosmetic surgeon makes incisions along the breast's natural contour and the new nipple location. Excess skin is removed. The areola and nipple are moved to the new location. If the sagging breast caused the areola to stretch and enlarge, the areola is made smaller. Most patients retain sensation in the nipple area and may be able to breast feed. The remaining skin is pulled taught and stitched closed.
What to Expect After the Breast Lift Surgery Procedure
After breast lift surgery, breasts are wrapped with gauze and bandaged. Surgical drains may be placed in the breast area to remove excess fluids. Most patients are released from our surgical facility a few hours after completion of the breast lift procedure. Breast lift patients should rest for the remainder of the day but should try to move around for short intervals the day after surgery. Pain is controlled with medication and should subside after several days.
A few days after breast lift surgery, our patients return to our Dallas area practice. Any surgical drains are removed and dressings are changed. Some patients may have to wear a support bra for a few weeks.
Breast Lift Surgery Results
While the results of breast lift surgery will last a long time, they will not last forever. Eventually, gravity and aging will take their toll on skin elasticity, and the breasts will begin to sag. This may happen sooner for larger, heavier breasts. To correct this situation, additional breast lift surgery may be performed.
Our cosmetic surgeons at Regional Plastic Surgery Center explain the entire breast lift procedure to our Dallas, Texas, area patients prior to undergoing breast lift surgery. Most breast lift patients are extremely happy with the results of their surgery and enjoy a more fulfilling life.
