Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss and the natural aging process can have a profound impact on the appearance of the breasts, often causing sagging, drooping and overall volume loss. According to Dr. S. Alexander Earle of Miami\u2019s Pure Plastic Surgery<\/span><\/a>, \u201c<\/span>Many women choose to get implants at the time of a breast lift, although this isn\u2019t mandatory. Depending on a patient\u2019s desired results, a lift alone may be able to provide the level of improvement they are looking for.\u201d A breast lift can also be performed if implants are being removed\u2014and not replaced\u2014as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreast lift surgery involves reshaping and elevating the breasts by tightening underlying supportive tissue and removing excess skin. The nipples are usually raised and the areola may be reduced as well to create a more aesthetically pleasing breast appearance,\u201d says Dr. Earle. <\/span>All breast lift surgery requires several incisions, although they can be hidden by a bra or bathing suit top. The extent of correction necessary to achieve a patient\u2019s desired results is the main factor that dictates the incisions used. He explains, \u201cDepending on the degree of sagging and excess skin, incision options include beneath the crease of the breast, vertically from the crease up to the areola, and around the areola if it\u2019s necessary to reposition the nipple.\u201d If breast implants are inserted, the same incisions are used.<\/p>\n

The insertion of implants <\/span>during a breast lift\u00a0is optional yet very common<\/span>. \u201cWomen tend to see deflation in the upper part of the breasts after having children and with the passing of time. Implants restore youthful fullness while allowing patients to decide exactly what size they\u2019d like to be after surgery,\u201d Dr. Earle says.<\/p>\n

Women may opt for breast lift surgery without implants for a variety of reasons, and this approach means patients don\u2019t have to think about routine implant check-ups or additional surgery if it\u2019s necessary to replace them in the future. Dr. Earle emphasizes, \u201cThe main downside of breast lift surgery without implants is a lack of enhanced upper breast fullness and cleavage, so it\u2019s important that the patient has significant breast volume before surgery and realistic expectations about the breast lift results that can be achieved without the use of implants.\u201d<\/p>\n

All breast lift patients need to know that it is normal to experience some degree of numbness or loss of sensation in the nipples and areola after surgery, however this side effect usually improves as the body heals. The appearance of the incisions will continue to improve over the first few months after surgery, and it can take several months for the breasts to settle into their final shape. Yet once healing is complete, patients can expect breast lift results with or without implants to last for several years as long as a stable weight is maintained. Dr. Earle says, \u201cBreast lifts have an extremely high patient satisfaction rate and this procedure dramatically improves the appearance of the breasts, as well as a woman\u2019s self-confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
