Breast Lifts for Sagging Breasts

Breast lifts can be done for many reasons: sagging breasts after pregnancy, sagging breasts from weight loss, tubular breast deformity or for sagging breasts that are genetic. That's right! Some women are going to have sagging breasts regardless of whether they have had children or they are in great shape. I am very busy treating patients such as yourself.

I explain that the shape of the breast tissue was pre-determined to look the way it does. The surgery is designed to reshape the breast tissue permanently. Even if you have babies later, the breasts may sag but not to the same extent as they do now. A young woman such as yourself derive a great deal of satisfaction from having more aesthetically-pleasing breasts. They will improve your confidence and make you less self-conscious.

To danied,

Hi!  You are 23 years old and you are entitled to have young looking breasts.  So by all means have a breast lift now.

A breast lift will have absolutely no effect on your future pregnancies. A breast lift will not affect your ability to breast feed.

Of course, the babies may well have an effect on your breasts.  So you may need a touch up when you are done with pregnancies and brest feeding.

How a breast lift is done is very important.  You must not just tighten the skin.  This is what is often done, and it does not lead to a good LONG TERM result.  The right way to do it is to lift and remodel the breast tissue INTERNALLY.  We now use short scar techniques, and the most scarring you should have is a "lollypop" shape scar.

Danied,

If you feel you need a lift, then it is okay for you to get one. The lift will not affect your pregnancy. Additionally, depending on the technique, the lift should not affect your success at breast feeding. Good luck with your surgery.

In a breast lift, your nipples are moved up, and the skin and breast tissue can be tightened to give you the lift.

Pregnancy will cause your breasts to swell and then after nursing, they will shrink again, so perhaps they may lose some of the effects of the lift, but, functionally they should work.
