If you're considering breast lift surgery in San
Francisco ...
Breast lift surgery entails any of several
incisions that allow the surgeon to lift and reshape
the breast contour and its
essential firmness. The nipple and areola are repositioned
so that they have a more youthful appearance. If necessary,
enlarged areolas can be reduced by removing skin at their
perimeter. Incisions are made discreetly so that they aren’t
readily apparent. The number and size of the incisions
will depend on the size of the breasts and the amount of
repositioning necessary. During breast
lift surgery non-removable
sutures are implanted deep within the breast tissue to
create and support the new contours.
During your private consultation visit, Dr. Mosser will
explain in detail these various procedures. He’ll
make recommendations and discuss what you can realistically
expect from breast
lift surgery as well as the alternatives that
are available to you.
Because dramatic weight fluctuations can affect the appearance
of your breasts after breast lift
surgery, the procedure
best suits those who have relatively stable weight. Also,
a breast lift doesn’t affect breast function,
though the changes that occur to breasts during pregnancy
can minimize of reverse their new appearance. For this
reason, the best candidates for this type of surgery
have already completed their families. In addition to
these criteria, you should consider the following:
- Do
you have any medical conditions that could impair healing
from breast lift surgery?
- Are you a non-smoker?
- Are you committed to
proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, including moderate amounts of physical
exercise?
- Can you fully disclose
your health history to Dr. Mosser, including current medications, your use
of vitamin and herbal supplements, as well as your use of alcohol, tobacco,
and other drugs?
Dr. Mosser performs breast lift surgery in
several locations in San Francisco. Plastic
surgery procedures may be scheduled for his office at 450
Sutter Street in Union Square, as well as California
Pacific Medical Center and St.
Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.
The number and size of incisions you require are determined
by the amount of excess skin you have, your skin elasticity,
and the degree of breast lift that’s necessary to
achieve realistic goals. These incisions may extend around
the diameter of the areola, one extending from the areola
along the lower part of the breast to the crease, and one
extending horizontally along the breast crease. Not all
women require all of these incisions; some need only one
around the areola and one extending along the bottom of
the breast.
