A breast lift, also known in the cosmetic surgery world as a mastopexy is a procedure that lifts and reshapes the chest. It can be done on a bosom that has begun to droop and sag due to the process of aging, the effects of gravity and pregnancy. This type of surgery can also be performed on female patients who feel that their areolas are too big. If this is a concern of yours then breast lift procedure can correct the problem.
It is common for a mastopexy and augmentation to be done at the same time. However some women may choose the lift without wanting implants. The plastic surgeon can advise you if having the two operations together is in your best interests or not. Having the two procedures at once can make the breasts look larger, more youthful, as well as higher on the chest and more firm and voluptuous!
Not all women are excellent candidates for a breast lift. Ladies who are best suited for this type of cosmetic work are those that are healthy both in a physical as well as an emotional sense. This operation is not for women who have not had babies yet. If you want to have another baby or two then this surgery needs to wait. It is also not suitable for women who are breastfeeding at the present time.
A female who has stretched skin in her bosom area and less elasticity would make an ideal candidate as long as she fulfills the other requirements as well. Please be aware that in most instances cosmetic surgeons will not perform breast lifts on patients who are under the age of 18. However in most cases this is not the type of plastic procedure that a woman younger than 18 would require.
If a mastopexy is something you would like to have then it is essential that you are as realistic as possible about what the outcome will yield. If you pursue the surgery and the result is not what you expected then you may end up being terribly disappointed. You need to go into the cosmetic surgeon's office knowing all of the facts and with your eyes wide open.
A prospective patient of this surgery must have maintained a stable and healthy weight for a period of six to eight months (and preferably even more). If a patient wishes to lose weight then she should lose it well in advance of having the breast lift operation. She would then need to wait until her weight has been maintained at a certain level for a number of months. This procedure is not geared towards women who have recently lost a considerable amount of weight. Even a weight loss of 10 to 15 pounds in the recent past would be too much.
