How breast lift surgery is performed?

As per our experts practicing in breast lift surgery hospitals in India, the methods for removing breast skin and reshaping breast tissue may differ. The placement of the incisions and the surgical technique will be determined by your plastic surgeon. Following are the three types of cuts, your surgeon might prefer-

• Along the areola
• From the areolae to the breast creases(vertical incision)
• Along the breast creases(horizontal incision)

Your doctor may rearrange your breast tissue and, if necessary,

Excess breast skin will be removed, and the nipples will be shifted to a higher position.

Your doctor will then use stitches, surgical tape, or skin adhesives to close the incisions and pull the breast skin together.

The process usually takes two to three hours, and you will be discharged on the very same day.

What can you expect after breast lift surgery?

• Your breasts will most likely be wrapped in gauze and a surgical support bra after a breast lift.
• To drain any excess blood or fluid, little tubes may be put at the incision sites in your breasts.

• Nipple numbness, areolae numbness, and breast skin numbness might last up to six weeks.

What instructions should you follow during the recovery period after breast lift surgery?

• Take pain medicine as suggested by your doctor after your breast lift surgery.
• Avoid bending, lifting, and straining.
• To relieve pressure on your breasts, sleep on your back or side.
• For at least one to two weeks, refrain from sexual activity.
• Check with your doctor to see when it's safe to resume normal activities like hair washing, showering, and bathing.
• Drainage tubes are usually inserted near your incisions and removed after a few days.
