Procedure and Recovery After Breast Lift Surgery

If you are considering breast lift surgery in Gurgaon or any other location, you can relax knowing that this is one of the safest surgical procedures today. With various incision techniques and general anaesthesia, the recovery time is also minimal. Thus, many women whose breasts fall subject to age, gravity, multiple pregnancies, or massive weight loss undergo a breast lift or mastopexy for rejuvenated, beautiful breasts.

Advanced centers today use high-quality technologies and materials for sophisticated procedures. These include pre-surgery visualisation devices like Crisalix 3D (dubbed “boob goggles”) that help patients see their results before going under the knife.

How does the breast lift surgery procedure go?

Your surgeon begins with anaesthesia, and then makes a periareolar or inframammary incision, depending on how much lift is needed. The periareolar incision around your nipple-areola complex helps with minimal sagging and excess skin. 

Meanwhile, the inframammary incision extends from the complex towards the breast’s underside. If you have very saggy breasts with a large amount of excess skin, this is very helpful. While the lift usually refers to reshaping and tightening the underlying breast tissue, many surgeons also find that patients benefit from a simultaneous breast reduction surgery. Especially in cases with a lot of sagging and excess skin, some reduction becomes inevitable in the tightening process.

After removing the excess tissue and skin and reshaping the remaining tissue, your surgeon reorients the nipple-areola complex to point upwards. This reorientation creates a perky, rejuvenated appearance. They then close the incisions with absorbable sutures. The breast skin’s natural propensity for healing ensures that the resulting scars heal and become nearly inconspicuous over time.

 

What is recovery after breast lift surgery like?

Mastopexy is not one of those procedures where the result is immediate. You will not see youthful-looking breasts immediately or even a few weeks post-op. Patience is the key here.

 

The following are some staples you will notice about recovery after mastopexy:

 

●       The Compression Garment: You will need to wear a compression garment designed like a    sports bra that keeps your new breasts in place while they heal for six week. The garment also helps if you have had a breast reduction or augmentation. During this time, you cannot lift heavy weights over your head.

●       The Swelling: Most initial swelling reduces within the first six weeks, although you can resume your daily activities within 48 hours.

●       Follow-Up Consultations: You will need to meet your surgeon 48 hours, 1 week and 6 weeks after your procedure to ensure your results are settling in well. The final consultation happens after 6 months to ensure your results are as per your desire.
