Breast Lift: Surgery - Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Advice





Focus Areas: In breast augmentation, your focus areas are on achieving a more correct and aesthetically balanced breast size and shape.

Surgical Options: Breast augmentation can include cosmetic surgery involving the placement of breast implants such as silicone gel or saline filled implants in order to increase breast size and shape, or breast augmentation involving the removal of excess breast tissue in order to relieve symptoms of back, neck and shoulder stress as well as overall body symmetry.


Breast Lift Surgery. As the scheduled breast lift operation time approaches the patient will be taken to an operating theatre side-room, where she can exchange street clothes for operating room garments. A nursing staff member will carefully repeat and review the pending surgical procedure and then administer sedation either orally or intravenously. The surgical treatment breast area is further prepared by use of antiseptic soap and the placement of sterile sheeting material around the head and face. Now that the patient is prepared, the anesthetic is injected into the treatment area. Following completion of the check-in procedure and change over into surgical garments, the patient is wheeled into the operating theatre for additional preparations.


Mastopexy. Mastopexy is the term describing the breast lift procedure. Essentially the procedure involves the relocating of the nipple areolar complex to a spot higher on the patient's chest wall. Incisions are made in the treatment area surrounding the nipple areolar complex. An operation of this kind requires that the patient receive general anesthesia. The patient wants to participate in the operation in a relaxed state of mind, with minimal discomfort. In certain cases an epidural block, akin to the anesthesia occasionally used in childbirth can be used in the cosmetic surgery procedure. General anesthesia, on the other hand, will result in deep sleep and unconsciousness throughout the procedure. If the three to four hour cosmetic surgery procedure required the use of a general anesthetic then the patient will wake up later on in the recovery room. As mental clarity returns and the patient loses that fuzzy half-asleep quality she'll be tempted to inspect her new breasts. However, some caution is necessary at this stage. Stitches and/or bruising can be a rough first glance, so it's far better to adopt a rest-and-see-later posture. Quiet time, just laying back may be the perfect response in the post-operative period. Rest will become a key component to the post-operative phase in order to allow tissue repair to occur without risk of trauma.
