Questions and answers about breast lift and using a bra after surgery
Are you considering breast lift surgery and not sure what the procedure involves and whether it's right for you? We've decided to do some sorting for you. Here are all the frequently asked questions and answers that will provide you with all the important information about breast lift surgery (and also bust a myth or two along the way).
Is breast lift surgery also suitable for women with small breasts?
Yes. Contrary to common misconception, breast lift surgery is not only suitable for women with large breasts, but is also suitable for women with small breasts. It is important to understand that any breast structure may sag over the years, due to various factors such as weight gain and loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding, along with weakening of the breast muscle and tissue. All of these affect the erectness and fullness of the breast, along with additional parameters such as genetics. As a result, breast lift surgery can also be suitable for women with small breasts.
Can breast sagging occur again after breast lift surgery?
Breast lift surgery provides optimal results for patients and in most cases the results are maintained for many years. However, it is important to take into account that there are various parameters that may affect the appearance of the breast, including the patient's age and her genetic structure. So even after breast lift surgery, a change can occur. However, as long as the patient is careful to undergo the surgery after the end of the pregnancy and breastfeeding period, is at a normal body weight that does not include uncontrolled increases or decreases in weight, the results of the surgery are expected to be maintained optimally.
I have stretch marks, can breast lift surgery eliminate them?
The answer is no. Breast lift surgery does not address the texture of the outer skin and is not expected to significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks in the chest area.
Does breast lift surgery involve a more difficult recovery period compared to breast augmentation surgery?
Similar to breast augmentation surgery, breast lift surgery also involves limited movement during the initial recovery period. During the first few weeks after breast lift surgery, the patient should avoid lifting heavy weights and performing strenuous physical activities, including various sports activities. After this period, the patient can gradually return to activity.
Is it possible to combine breast reduction surgery and breast lift surgery in one procedure?
These two procedures can be combined into one procedure, thus eliminating the need for additional surgery with all that it entails, including an additional recovery period.
Can breast lift surgery be performed with implants?
In principle, it is possible to undergo breast lift surgery with implants that will allow for filling and lifting of the breast. However, it is important to know that this procedure is not suitable for every patient and is performed depending on the level of sagging. When it comes to significant sagging of the breasts, the use of a breast lift with implants will provide less good results.
Is it possible to have breast lift surgery after giving birth?
Plastic surgeons generally recommend waiting a minimum of 6 months after giving birth before having a breast lift. If you are still breastfeeding, you should finish breastfeeding completely before having the surgery. If you are planning on having more pregnancies, you may want to consider waiting until they are over to allow you to enjoy better results from the surgery.
Why is it important to wear a bra after breast lift surgery?
Breast Surgery Support Bra It is a medical compression garment specifically developed for patients who have undergone breast surgery, including breast reduction/enlargement and breast lift. Wearing the bra throughout the initial recovery period allows the patient to significantly improve the results of the surgery. The first few days after surgery largely determine the future results of the surgery. Using a bra after surgery allows the body to accept the new contours and keep them in place, so that they are perfectly set. In addition, the bra provides significant relief from the pain that characterizes the days after surgery. This is thanks to the moderate pressure applied to the area.
