If you're considering breast lift surgery in the
Bay Area...
Once the excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is
reshaped and lifted—hence the name breast
lift.
The skin surrounding the incision is tightened and excess
skin is removed before the incisions are closed. Incision
lines are permanent, but aren’t readily noticeable
(most lines are hidden in the natural contours of the breast).
And they will fade over time.
You will experience swelling and discomfort around the
incision sites immediately after breast
lift surgery.
This is normal. You may be given a support bra and elastic
bandages to ease the swelling and to support your breasts
as they heal. In addition, Dr. Mosser may insert a small
tube to drain any excess blood that may accumulate. Dr.
Mosser will help you manage pain through medication and
he will give detailed instructions about medications
to apply or take orally, which will aid in the healing
and reduce the risk of infection.
You may be asked to wear a support bra continuously for
the first week or two after your breast
lift. Dr.Mosser will instruct you on how to cleanse the incision
sites and to apply ointment as necessary. You can return
to light, regular activity within a few days of breast
lift surgery, so long as you avoid heavy lifting or any
kind of vigorous activity. The initial incision sites will
take five to ten days to heal, during which time any sutures
will be removed. Swelling will dissipate over the next
several weeks.
Results—the Amazing New You
As your breast shape and position
continue to settle, you will begin to see the final results
of your breast lift surgery. This can take several months.
While incision lines will still be visible, they won’t
be noticeable, not even under a revealing bathing suit.
Over the years, aging and gravity will begin to gently
reassert themselves, but with far less effect. The best
way to maintain the shape and position of your breasts
is to maintain your weight and to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
