Common Breast Surgery Questions

If you are considering the option of having breast uplift surgery then it pays to be as informed as possible before booking the procedure. Being involved with decisions about your treatment and aftercare helps you to know what to expect before and after surgery and helps you get firmly back onto the road to recovery.

Relaxation of the ligaments surrounding the breast is commonly caused by weight loss, age or having children. You may find that the size of your breasts is fine but volume and tone have been lost.

If things aren’t as firm and pert as they used to be then breast uplift surgery can prove an effective way to restore your body shape back to how it used to be.

A breast uplift procedure can lift and shape drooping or sagging breasts which gives you more freedom to wear whatever under and outer garments you desire. Feeling good about how you look also helps to boost your self confidence so there are emotional, as well as aesthetic, benefits to this type of procedure.

There are different options for breast uplift surgery which can be tailored to meet your specific requirements so make sure you do your homework before booking the procedure.

The first step in the process is to decide upon where you want to have the surgery carried and then book a consultancy appointment. At this appointment you can talk to your surgeon about which surgery is most suitable for you and you can work together to achieve your overall aim.

The initial appointment is the ideal time to ask any questions you might have and discuss the procedure fully with your surgeon.

A common question relates to scars after surgery. The scar for a standard breast uplift is often placed around the nipple, from the nipple to the natural crease under the breast and then along the crease of the breast. These scars do not usually show outside an ordinary bra or bikini top and will fade with time. Different methods may result in varying types of scar as the exact method of surgery is determined by the amount of loose skin you have in the breast. You might therefore want to check this point with your surgeon.

Taking time off work is another common concern and you should check this with your consultant too. As a general rule you should take anywhere between seven and fourteen days off work. You should be able to resume full physical activity within about a month but remember everyone heals at different paces so listen to your body.

The recovery period after breast uplift surgery is important and there are several ways to make it a little easier. Prepare meals beforehand and pop them in the freezer so you won’t have to cook after the operation.

Lift any items you will need down from shelves so you aren’t stretching to get them later and wear clothes that are loose and comfortable.
