Breast Lift
Over time, pregnancy, nursing, the force of gravity and general ageing may change the shape and size of breasts.
A breast lift procedure is designed to elevate the breasts.
Dr Dilip Gahankari is experienced in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures, and has more than 21 years experience performing breast lift surgery.
Is this procedure for me?
If you have experienced sagging, or your breasts have lost their firmness, a breast lift may address these issues.
Sagging can occur from weight loss, breast feeding or natural ageing.
A breast lift procedure involves harnessing existing breast tissue, in order to reshape the appearance of the breast.
A breast lift can be performed without the addition of a breast implant if there is adequate breast tissue.
Dr Gahankari will determine whether or not an implant is required by taking into consideration your preference, and the size and natural proportions of your body.
During the breast lift procedure, Dr Gahankari will reshape the breasts by also removing excess skin. However, if there is inadequate breast tissue to produce a breast of your desired size, an implant may be necessary as part of the procedure.
Breast lift surgery is performed as a day procedure under general anesthetic, however you will need to be collected from hospital by a friend or family member.
Pre and Post-Op Care
Results and recovery vary for each patient.
You can typically expect to experience moderate pain and discomfort for the first couple of days after surgery, which will be managed with appropriate pain medication.
A patient will typically be able to resume usual light, everyday tasks within two weeks of a breast lift procedure, however it is advised that you avoid exercise and strenuous tasks for at least six weeks.
You will typically experience swelling and bruising.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results will vary for each patient.
A breast lift procedure will typically result in the breasts appearing lifted, with a fuller, firmer look and feel.
Recent innovations in breast lift techniques have allowed for a smaller incision and therefore reduced visible scarring.
In addition, these advances have also allowed for a greater level of nipple sensation after the breast lift procedure.
Dr Gahankari will explain the scarring related to the breast lift procedure in detail at your initial consultation.
