Who would choose to have their breasts lifted?

Most people think a breast lift is requested more often by older women. However, the average age of patients choosing to have the procedure is only 39. This is just slightly older than those having augmentation and reduction procedures.

Why choose a breast lift?

As women age and/or have children, their breasts tend to lose fat and the breast tissue begins to thin. In most cases, when the breast tissue shrinks, the skin does not and the areola/nipple droops down below the inframammary crease. Lifting the nipple above the crease will restore a youthful look.

Will a breast lift affect nursing?

While it is possible to nurse after a breast lift, it is generally recommended that you wait. Should you become pregnant your breasts will swell and stretch the skin and you may lose the benefits of the procedure.

Can a breast lift be combined with another procedure?

Yes. Many patients who request a breast lift also want to have the fullness back. These patients usually decide to have implants as well. In certain instances, the augmentation will aid in stretching the skin, enabling Toronto Breast Lift specialist, Dr. Middleton to do the procedure with shorter scars. Other patients may require a breast reduction as well as a breast lift to restore the look they desire.

What is recovery like?

Bed rest is recommended for the first day. For the first few days following any breast surgery, you may be asked to wear surgical dressings or a special post-surgical garment. Most discomfort associated with breast surgery can be controlled with oral medication prescribed by Dr. Middleton. Antibiotics may also be prescribed. Most women experience some degree of swelling, bruising and tenderness. These symptoms should subside in a short time. All sutures are removed within 1-2 weeks. Dr. Middleton will advise you on a proper schedule for returning to your normal activities. Most patients are back to work within the first week.

Following your cosmetic breast surgery. you will enjoy a new, more pleasing shape, with more comfortable breasts that are in better proportion to your physique.
