Women’s bodies go through many changes over the years. Some changes are purely the result of natural aging. Tissues begin to break down, skin begins to sag and gravity takes its toll on the body. However, hormones, past disease and surgeries, weight changes, medications and pregnancies can also take their toll on a variety of areas across the body.
One of the most obvious changes can take place on the breasts as they begin to droop and sag, no longer looking youthful with their feminine curves and perky shapes. A breast lift surgery in Fort Lauderdale offers a good, permanent option to change the shape of your breasts while also erasing several years of age from the most feminine parts of your body.
What Is Breast Lift Surgery?
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that allows our surgeon to remove unwanted and unnecessary skin and other tissues from the breasts. These tissues may have once been firm and taut but are now stretched out and hanging lower than they should. In addition, the surgeon will be able to move the nipples higher on the breasts if necessary.
This is usually an outpatient surgery that only takes an hour or two. It can also be added to a breast augmentation surgery in Fort Lauderdale for improved results if you also want larger breasts. Following your surgery, you will be sent home to rest and recover. You will need to take up to a week off work and will need to wear special compression garments to aid healing and decrease swelling in the area.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You can be considered a good candidate for breast lift surgery if you are unhappy with how your breasts droop and sag either because of aging, weight loss, pregnancy and childbirth or some other reason. You are also a good candidate if your nipples are pointing downward of if they hang lower than your breast crease.
You should be generally healthy, a nonsmoker and committed to following our surgeon’s orders following surgery. If you are unhappy with the shape or overall look of your breasts due to age-related changes or for any other reason, a breast lift surgery can offer you an excellent way to get back your youthful curves and regain your self-confidence.
Once you are fully recovered, you will feel proud to wear your favorite clothes again and show off your shape.
