New York City Breast Lift
In New York City, breast lift procedures are performed quite commonly. A breast lift procedure is a great alternative for those that are looking to improve the shape of their breasts, but do not want to have a procedure such as a breast augmentation performed.
With a breast lift surgery, your natural breast is simply lifted to reduce sagging and make the breast appear more youthful and contoured. In some cases, a breast lift can even make the breast appear larger, because it lifts the entire breast back into place. A breast lift however, will not increase the cup size of your breast. If this is the result you are looking for, you may want to consider a breast lift in conjunction with breast implants.
As we age, the breast naturally starts to droop and sag. The skin of the breast looses it's elasticity, and the breast will eventually start to hang further and further down the body. While wearing a bra routinely can help to reduce this natural event from occurring, it will not completely prevent it from happening. Over time, gravity will have it's way, and your breast will start to sag. This is where a breast lift comes into play, and can make your breast once again look youthful and perky.
Good Candidates for Breast Lifts
Any woman with a sagging breast is a good candidate for a breast lift. You will however, need to be in relatively good health and your skin should be in good condition. Breast lifts will work best for women with smaller breasts. They do work for women with large breasts as well, however the results are not usually long lasting, because the natural size of the breast will cause it to start to sag again quite quickly.
If this is the case, you may want to consider an breast reduction and lift, to reduce the overall size of your breast and lift it back into place. You will also need to realize that even after a breast lift, your breast will look better, but will never be able to look the same as it did in your younger years.
The Breast Lift Procedure
During breast lift surgery incisions are made into each of your breasts. There are various methods of breast lift surgery the doctor can use, and the method will be determined by the shape of your breast and the results you want. After the incisions are made, the doctor will cut away some of the excess skin and tissue to lift the breast. The nipples will then be moved to a higher position on the breast, so that the breast still appears proportioned. The incisions will then be closed, and you will be placed into post-surgery recovery.
Generally, you will be kept and monitored for 4-6 hours to ensure there are no complications from the anesthesia, then you will be released and able to go home. In some cases, you may be kept in the hospital for a few days however this is rare.
