Undoing the Consequences of Pregnancy with Breast Lifts

By Michael Reynolds


Breast lift involves lifting and reshaping the bazongas and positioning the nipple/areola to the best location on the breast. In plastic surgery the term for this surgery is Mastopexy.Patients may require breast lifts due to a range of factors. These can often include being born with torpedos that are droopy, torpedos that fall after major weight loss, and probably most generally, breasts that droop and dip in size after one or more youngsters. As a rule the torpedos get more droopy and smaller with each pregnancy the mum has. The doctor's term for bending is ptosis.

The pleasant news is that there are some glorious procedures that can reverse these changes and create wonderful torpedos. This correction may involve simply a breast lift alone or a breast lift combined with a breast enhancement.

Who are candidates? The patient alone can define if their boobs position or shape is a problem for them and wish to improve or change the general shape and contour. The degree of breast lifting can be reasonably minor or involve heavy re-contouring. The breast augmentation is generally done with a Mastopexy so as to make up for lost volume, in truth most women who have lost volume (their breasts became smaller) opt to have their breasts improved to a size that could be bigger than the size they at first were, before they were pregnant.

Depending on the degree of breast drooping there are a number of different breast lift Rockville, MD systems that may be custom-made to what it is the patient's looking to achieve and what their present breast shape requires. The lift may very well involve only cuts around the areola (this is referred to as a circumareolar Mastopexy). This works rather well for breasts that require minimal lifting.

The commonest process that I perform involves an incision that goes around the areola and then straight down to the inframammary fold. Some call this a lollypop Mastopexy, as the incisions and scars seem like that of a lollypop (the actual name for this operation is a circumvertical Mastopexy). The Mastopexy that is critical to correct the greatest degree of drooping is called a full Mastopexy, which involves incisions around the areola, down to the inframammary fold, and then along the inframammary crease.

Obviously a seasoned Plastic Surgeon will use the most straightforward strategy that will allow the necessary enhancements. In my practice, in which I have done over fourteen-hundred breast lifts, I am trying to find the surgery that will allow the best result with the absolute minimum amount of scars.

If breast augmentation is done at the very same time, it is critical the boob enhancement be done first. This is because of the fact that the degree of breast lifting and skin resection will be changed by the juggs being made bigger. In addition, it's almost impossible in most patients, to pinpoint the right size of the implant for the boob enlargement, due to the fact the tits are drooping and do not exactingly show the scale of the breast. This is because the breast implant and the breast tissue aren't in the same place.

Not all San Diego Surgeons perform the surgery in the way I do. I'm confident however that in my hands this gives the best result. The surgery is done with a pocket made for the boob enlargement made and an implant sizer placed in the pocket. At that point the skin is stapled together in a fashion that approximates the degree and kind of breast lift that will be done. Then the patient is set up by elevating the back of the operating room table. My nurses and I examine the patient in regards to breast size, the degree of lift, and the predicted position of the nipple. In this manner not only can the correct size of the implant be determined. At the same time, the breast lift and the degree of skin resection may also be correctly evaluated without burning any bridges. Once the right size and the right degree of breast lift with optimal nipple positioning is determined, the tacking staples are removed after carefully marking the staple positions. The boob enlargement is then finished with the correct size implant and the permanent implant placed. Then, following the marks of the tacking staples, the breast lift is then performed.
