Breast Lift
As a woman ages, her breasts may begin to lose their firmness and shape, and this can be further exacerbated by factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and gravity.
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts.
Breast lift surgery can help to restore a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance to the breasts by removing excess skin and tissue and repositioning the nipples to a more natural and higher location.
During the surgery, the surgeon will make incisions around the areola and down to the crease under the breast, creating a “lollipop” or “anchor” shape. Then, the underlying breast tissue will be lifted and reshaped to improve the overall contour and projection of the breasts. The nipple and areola will be repositioned and the excess skin will be removed.
In addition to providing a more contoured and shapely figure, Lipo 3D can also improve self-confidence and body image. Patients may also experience a boost in their overall health and well-being, as excess fat around the waist, hips, and thighs can increase the risk of various health conditions.
Lipo 3D typically involves making small incisions in the targeted areas and using a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to suction out fat cells. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the treatment. Recovery time varies, but patients should expect to take some time off work and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks following the surgery.
Like any surgery, Lipo 3D carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and scarring. It is important to carefully follow your plastic surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks. Additionally, patients should be aware that Lipo 3D is not a weight loss procedure and that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is necessary to maintain the results of the surgery.
