The body of a human, especially a woman, changes significantly during her life, notably during pregnancy and lactation. Breasts can lose their firmness and even sag on the chest as they age. Deflated breasts or a downward droop are not limited to women with huge, heavy breasts; small-chested women can also experience these changes.
So, how do you know if breast augmentation, breast lift surgery, or both are the best options for restoring a youthful-looking chest? When making this selection, a number of considerations will come into play. The position of your nipples, your desire for additional breast volume, and the overall breast size you want to obtain are the three most critical considerations. It’s a mix of these patient-specific objectives that will point you in the proper way.
What is Breast Lift Surgery, and what is its purpose?
Breast lifting is a procedure that significantly improves the appearance of your breasts. Breast lifts replace the breasts that have sagged and fallen from what is known as breast lifts rather than making them larger:
- pregnancy
- breastfeeding
- weight loss
- age
- gravity
- Heredity
How to know if one is the right candidate?
There are some serious difficulties with this procedure, so it is important to conduct it for yourself and your own confidence. At least, you should consider creating a youthful profile in order to improve your overall well-being.
Next, we want to make sure you are in good health before performing your breast lift. In other words, your heart is in good shape, you do not smoke, and you do have no medical condition pre-existing that may cause the operation to kill. We thoroughly review your current health history and history before performing any operations.
As well, you should be at a stage in your life where you do not expect to see any serious changes to your body shape. After having children, a breast lift is most effective; a pregnancy after the procedure can undo the results. The weight gain that comes on after you have lost weight will also affect your breasts, and gravity and age will still play a role.
Nipple position
If you notice in the mirror that your nipples are downward or sit below your breast crease, you probably are a suitable candidate for a breast lift. Nipple/areal structure, when sagging tissue or becoming too large, can cause the nipple/areola to change posture, stretch or become larger. Additionally, when your breasts lose volume and become heavier in the lower pole, your nipple will sag too. Breast lifts also raise breast tissue, repositioning the nipple/areola to a better proportionate position. In addition, to make your nipple look better, your surgeon may also do so during your mastopexy.
Volume
Breast volume describes how round or full your breasts appear. With weight loss, the breasts can appear flat or too small. Additionally, age, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can cause the breasts to become larger and produce deflating. Breast implants can restore volume to the chest and improve the shape of your breasts in such a case. You may also need to perform a breast lift to remove any lax tissue.
Breast size
There are several reasons women are unhappy with their breast size, especially since cosmetic plastic surgery is performed every year. You may have always wished for larger breasts or wish to rectify asymmetry. Your plastic surgeon will go through all of your implant alternatives with you during your consultation. You’ll also be able to try on different implant sizes to have a better concept of how you’ll look following the treatment.
