When to Consider a Breast Lift From a Plastic Surgeon

A breast lift from a plastic surgeon can change sagging breasts to become firmer and perkier and have a more aesthetically pleasing shape. The procedure can potentially enhance a person’s outlook of their body, as well as make bras and swimsuits fit better.

Reasons to undergo a breast lift

The plastic surgeon will remove excess, stretched skin, reshape the breast tissue and raise the nipple and areola to a more forward position. The result is a firmer breast shape. The surgeon can also reduce stretched, large areola during the breast liftssurgery to give the breast a more proportional look. The following are common reasons that people undergo a breast liftssurgery.

Restore the breasts’ shape after pregnancy and breastfeeding: Pregnancy can cause undesirable changes to the breasts, usually leaving them stretched and sagging. A breast lift, with implants or not, can help reverse the changes.

Improve breasts’ contour after drastic weight loss: Weight loss can cause loss of breast volume. A breast lift can make the breasts look more proportional through the removal of excess skin.

Get a perky breast shape for the first time: Some patients grow up with drooping breasts. They can undergo breast lift surgery to get the breast profile that they desire.

How to tell when a breast lift is needed

Although the only way to be sure that a breast lift is right or not is to consult a qualified plastic surgeon, patients can consider certain points to get a general overview of how a breast lift procedure might help enhance the appearance of their breasts.

Downward-pointing nipples: When the skin beneath the breast stretches out and starts to sag, the weight of the breast tissue will draw the nipple downward. A breast lift will reposition the breast tissues to make the nipples face forward again.

Position of the nipple and areola: One feature that the plastic surgeon will often check to know if a person is a breast lift candidate is the position of the location of the nipple and areola in relation to the crease under the breast, called the inframammary fold. Readers can try this test: Place a sheet of paper under the breast (without a bra) so it rests against the breast crease. Looking at the mirror, if the nipples lie below the top edge of the paper, then the breasts are sagging enough to warrant a breast lift.

Breast size when wearing a bra: A breast lift will not change the breasts’ size remarkably. However, it can make the breasts look fuller and rounder in a bra.

Asymmetrical or unusually-shaped breasts: The breast lift procedure can reshape the breast tissue and improve sagging breasts, which means that it can help restore symmetry to the breasts.

The bottom line

If you are thinking of getting breast lift surgery, choosing a plastic surgeon is an important decision. You should only visit a qualified and experienced professional for the procedure. To get started, book a consultation appointment.
