A common mistake that many women make is thinking that they need breast implants in order to lift and rejuvenate the appearance of their breasts.
Today, there are many different procedures that will help you achieve a more desirable result, giving you a more youthful appearance that you can enjoy for years to come.
Smith Plastic Surgery is a surgical process that involves the reconstruction of facial features and body parts. It is a medical specialty that deals with the restoration of form and function to repair or improve defects in the body, usually by making incisions within the skin and tissue.
Breast surgery options
Breast lifts
If the size of your breasts is not your biggest concern and you would prefer to achieve a more desirable position, a breast lift may be the better option for you. Many women experience sagging breasts due to age, pregnancy or weight loss but a breast lift can restore a perkier appearance and a more contoured shape.
What to expect during surgery
Before your surgery, you will receive a general anaesthetic. An incision will then be made so that the breasts can be lifted and reshaped. Once the desired position has been achieved, the areola will be repositioned too.
What to expect during recovery
Once the swelling has subsided, you will be able to see the results of your surgery. It will take several weeks before you will see the final results though and there may be some slight scarring. Breast surgeon Dr Rodney Cooter will do whatever possible to keep any scarring to a minimum though. Any scarring will fade over time too.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation caters to those who are unhappy with the size of their breasts. Most women opt for breast augmentation when they’re battling with low self-esteem and want to feel more confident. Implants can be used to enhance the size of the breasts while maintaining a natural-looking breast. Breast augmentation requires more decisions than a breast lift does as patients will need to discuss the size and shape of the implant as well as the location of the incision amongst other things.
What to expect during surgery
Before your surgery, you will be taken through all of your breast implant options as well as the details of the procedure. Once a general anesthetic has been administered, an incision will be made and the implants will be placed in the area that you discussed with your surgeon.
What to expect during recovery
After your surgery, you can expect some swelling and tenderness that can be managed with pain medication. You will need to take time off work and your daily activities will be limited for a while. You will need to wait several months for the swelling to subside before you will see the final results of your surgery.
As you can see, both procedures have their own benefits and purpose and what you choose is all dependent on your specific aesthetic goals. In some cases, women will opt to undergo both procedures to achieve a combined result of perkier, fuller breasts. Speak to a professional such as breast surgeon Dr Rodney Cooter about your breast surgery options and what will work best for you.
