BREAST LIFT
This procedure raises and reshapes sagging breasts. It is preformed under a general anesthetic. Unless done in conjunction with a reduction or an augmentation this will not change the size of the breasts, but it can restore firmness and position.
This is done by making two incisions: one around the areola and another along the crease of the breast. The skin is then tightened and the incisions closed with dissolving stitches.
During the post-operative phase you will need to wear a surgical bra, and there may be drainage tubes in place temporarily.
Should you wish to breast feed after surgery you need to discuss this with your surgeon so that he / she can take the necessary precautions during surgery. There is however the chance that even with these precautions, it may not be possible for some women to breast feed after breast surgery.
Expect an initial recovery period of 10 days.
